AIBU - problems with antisemitism amongst NHS medical staff?

Yes and the majority of the population is under that age which is why I said that. Some of us actually know or check things rather than stating random opinions.

You're being disingenuous to act like you care about patients feelings or distress but repeatedly dismiss the feelings of patients you happen to disagree with, just because the complicated feelings they have towards their dead relatives, aren't shared by you.

To be clear, do you consider the ICJ opinion of the highest importance? If so, What's your opinion on them issuing measures to Israel to prevent genocide while they investigate and their ruling that Israeli settlements are illegal under international always and that Israel must end it's illegal occupation. Do you agree that Israel are in breach of the ICJ ruling, considering you only want their opinion of it's a genocide ?

If they live in mainland Britain they will be used to the poppy and what it symbolises.

Some things transcend politics. Or used to. Like remembering our dead relatives.

Well they sort of have as yould only be 20 now. I think you mean able to vote. If the voting age is 18 then anyone over 38 has voted.

Ah so we should ban political items that you personal consider to be political. That's not opening a can of worms at all! Does it occur to you northern Irish Britain's live in the rest of Britain too?

Oh, totally ok then 🙄

The majority of the Palestinians population haven't had an election within their lifetimes. The last election was in 2006..this is either unintentional or intentional misinformation you've posted.

The ICJ.

The context of that comment by Boris Johnson was that he was criticising France and supporting the right of Muslim women to wear the burqua or whatever other religious clothing they wished.

I agree with banning political symbols. I disagree that a red poppy is a political symbol (apart from in N Ireland apparently. I have never been so cannot comment on how patients feel about NHS workers wearing poppies).

You disagree with banning political expression of NHS staff now?

Fine. I disagree.

Perhaps you aren't realising that @Boolabus and I aren't arguing against staff wearing the poppy, we're just pointing out your blindspot in banning "political items" .

It’s pretty well documented that Muslims face a great deal of prejudice and discrimination in the UK. It’s not too long ago that our own then foreign minister called them letter boxes - that’s how mainstream Islamophobia is. Not that it’s a competition though.

Have any Muslims talked about leaving? No, their numbers are expanding.

Yes, and the point is that British Jews are having to organise their own security rotas around schools and synagogues because they have been attacked and killed.

I used to go on pro-Palestine marches years ago. But I wouldn't go on them now. Marches and demonstrations of support for Palestine are happening now within the context of growing violence towards Jews, actual violence not just online stuff.

Jews are thinking about leaving the UK and I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 or 10 years time there are fewer Jews here. Have any Muslims talked about leaving? No, their numbers are expanding.

@KindlySurfiingPlatypus ”Do you also believe that anyone who displays a Ukraine flag wishes death to all Russians, even the ones who are just getting along with their farming along the banks of the Volga river?”

That’s a false comparison. Shame on you.

The international courts.
In time that verdict will come.

If the average Palestinian is so benevolent, why don’t any of their Muslim neighbors want them anywhere nearby?

Ok so who do you feel is qualified to make the determination? Or is anyone who concludes it is genocide, as lots of bodies have, by default antisemitic just for reaching that conclusion?

@KindlySurfiingPlatypus

Of course its not racisim. It doesnt matter who is wearing it. Its what it symbolises. Im not Jewish. I'm just an ordinary person who sees those marches and the aggresion and screaming of the marchers. And the fear that Jews are experiencing. Its terrible. And the marchers seem to care more about shoving their views about a conflict happening thousands of miles away, one of many, than the feeling security of Jewish people in the UK. I think its wrong.

Of course. How did Hamas come to power? The Palestinians voted for them. Just like Germans voted for the Nazis. They didn’t gain power accidentally, but in elections which were deemed free and fair.

That is definitely racism there.
If you aren't even prepared to acknowledge the existence of a people who don't particularly hate you but just want to live their ordinary life then there is no hope.
Do you also believe that anyone who displays a Ukraine flag wishes death to all Russians, even the ones who are just getting along with their farming along the banks of the Volga river?
