Scared to be Jewish

You may sneer at the description but prime waterfront land was exactly what it was. One of the best things they did after blowing up the water treatment system was to use the pipes to fashion rockets to fire rockets at Israel.

Rabidly racist bullshit!

True though

I sent my only Russian-born employee home from the office to WFH / take some time off to hopefully recover because the treatment he was facing was shocking! Later, I was quite appalled to find only a single one of my colleagues in a management position was willing to phone him and check up on how he was doing. And, yes, I may have threatened a few people with disciplinary action over their behaviour!

The firm cracked down on this sort of thing later - but the first two weeks or so were actually horrific to watch!

I am not even remotely pro-Russian - I was as appalled as everyone else. But I do know that people are not their government.

But, long story short: yes, Russians were facing quite shocking behaviour, including by some people I know (and, frankly, think less of nowadays!).

What they did not have - just to put this into perspective - is a long "tradition" (if one can call it that) of "Anti-Russianism" and intergenerational trauma. In that sense, this is different. Still disgusting, though!

I absolutely love this estate agent speak. "Prime waterfront land," they should be so grateful!

Russia people getting abuse and feeling threatened was very much reported yes.

In secondary schools like my work place we had to watch out for incidents of hate or harassment.

It isn't only Jews that the government or organisations that deal with hate crimes ask schools to monitor hate issues, provide support and interventions

Please inform me what my "pro Palestinian" (I think you just mean Palestinian?) flag means.

There may have been isolated incidences of hate towards Russians but nothing like the anti semitism of the past few weeks.

And of course Russia launched an aggressive land grab military invasion. Israel is responding to the worst attack on its people since the Holocaust against an enemy who have made it clear they won’t rest until Israel and all its population are exterminated.

Russian people in the UK did receive hate after Putin invaded Ukraine, I saw some of it myself . Why do you think they didn't?

😂

So gazans lives are expendable but israeli military are not in this war on Hammas.

Realistically any nation is going to prioritise the lives of its own citizens.

Still totally failing to grasp the enormity and complexity of Hamas’s operation in Gaza? It’s not the Death Star.

Sorry guys why you having a conversation on a thread about a Jewish person feeling scared. If someone has come to derail the thread and act like a unfeeling arse then can they not just pop themselves back on another thread. Not the boss here but nobody can actually discuss anything if all the threads get derailed by attention seeking fuckwits with no empathy etc

So gazans lives are expendable but israeli military are not in this war on Hammas.
Netanyahu is leader of a jewish nation the only one on earth and Is acting like a complete lunatic in israels name - of course people recoil at that behaviour and are unhappy with Israel - does that make them anti - semite. The silencing of everyone who dare speak up is bullyish and does israel zero favours. I mean wtf- bella / gigi hadid getting death threats from the IDF . I am disgusted at the Eu , biden and sunak over the ok ing of slaughtering 1000,s of women children , starving them.leaving no medical aid. No food. Bombing bakeries. Fgs where is the sanity in that!!!

Lots of articles about the tunnels have been posted, I'm not going over & over it again. Do some reading about military strategy & how Hamas operates. I think you're wilfully missing the point and feigning ignorance now. I mean, you honestly can't imagine how Israeli soldiers might be at a disadvantage going into Hamas's armed tunnels?

They do obviously utilise dead baby iconography on their protest marches in various creative ways.

I'm not sure I understand why Free Palestine posts are constantly mentioning Gazan children dying as if Gazan women, men, the elderly didn't count. It's not very nice as if some deaths are worse than others, it's ageist and unkind. It would be interesting to run a word count across all the posts on this topic to see how many times dead children and babies have been mentioned in Free Palestine posts.

Yes, so horrific that Hamas have done their best to persuade civilians to stay despite being warned by Israel to evacuate.
