and in my opinion it's a direct result of people turning a blind eye to and excusing the horror of hamas and everything they stand for. It's allowed open season on anti Jewish hate. This has happened TODAY in France.

I’m struggling not to be anti semitic

My heart bleeds for you. 🙄

The struggle is real.

It's a mad thing to say but I'm actually in total awe of the honesty. At least she's got the balls to actually say what several posters are genuinely struggling with (and wrongly think they're manging to hide quite successfully).

@Pinkdressinggownbelt

You really need some new material. You tried to raise heckles the other night with something similar. Why don't you take yourself off to the many threads on this board, where everyone competes to look like the biggest tit.

Apparently Boris turned up at it 😉

Good.

I came along & it was a very moving experience trudging by the Thames in the rain. Calm, resolute though rather sad-looking people wherever I looked.

Every time I hear the Israeli ambassador lady on the radio I have to wrestle with my self against anti semitic feelings same with the Israeli pm It’s very hard to listen to their “fighting” talk against the backdrop of the horror going on in Gaza ,and not feel very negative emotions for them and anyone who supports them.we are not seeing dead bodies of Hamas terrorists, we are seeing dead children. And videos of Palestinian kids who want to kill Jews. Are the children Hamas? And if so, is the solution to bomb them all to death ? Before all this I largely didn’t give that region much thought, but this “war” is so unbalanced. I’m struggling not to be anti semitic now, I try to keep in mind the Jewish people I know and never had a problem with before . To me from the river to the sea doesn’t mean no Israel, it means Israel has to share that land it was bestowed by UK etc, with the previous owners in a gracious manner, not in an entitled Bible Says So kind of way . Have less land, squish up, whatever. Be thankful and not bullying It’s disgusting to watch people so sinned against relishing their chance to do same to others and try to gaslight the world. Despite what world leaders say, general populations round the world can see this is so so wrong Shame on Israel

Maybe try to educate yourself before posting offensive racist anti semitic tropes on the internet?

Heard on the news just now that more than expected turned up, at least 60,000

I'm so pleased to hear this.

Great turnout. 👍

The police, no doubt, thought his presence could cause problems.

The Met had already warned him not to attend - but he pitched up anyway [?pretending to be a journalist] with some of his cronies

I think we may be surprised at number of attendees.

On the post a bit further up about Ireland not having many jews - yellow highlighted part - "given us freer hand to take a more principled position" is a awful line. You could say the UK because it has over 250k jews has always understood the underdog for precisely that reason and that our parents put their lives on the line so that Europe is free.

Yaxley-Lennon / Robertson has been arrested by the Met for refusing to leave the area of the march

Sadly there appears to be a lot of anti semitism in the UK (and on MN) so I imagine not a large number for peace march. I hope it goes off peacefully with no violence from anti semitic individuals.

Most people I believe just want peace.

Just been checking on Met twitter page for updates on the antisemitic protest today. All good so far. Pictures show what looks to be a fantastic turn out.

The terrorists did. They were very clear they were looking for Jews to kill. This was a racist massacre. The fact that those on the pro-Palestinian marches are NOT talking about race in this context, are NOT acknowledging it as a racist massacre, is exactly the problem I am talking about.

That omission IS racist

Edited

The whole conflict is inherently racist. (Israeli) Jews v Arabs. This is what it's about.

Cool

Hope you make it. We need as many people as possible but I can't imagine that big of a crowd. I would like to be surprised though.

Week after week, central London has become a no-go zone for Jews.
We have witnessed mass criminality, including glorification of terrorism, support for banned terrorist organisations such as Hamas, and incitement to racial or religious hatred against Jews.

Marches have coursed through our capital regularly featuring genocidal chants, Hamas-style headbands, antisemitic placards, calls for jihad and the globalisation of intifada, songs about slaughtering Jews, and Islamist flags.
Even the marchers who did not engage in this conduct still knowingly and readily marched alongside those who did. They are just as complicit.

It is a sad truth that Jews do not feel safe in our capital city.

Britain is a country known for its tolerance and decency. The people of this country, along with leading politicians from the major political parties, stand with the Jewish community in this difficult time.

March with us in solidarity.
