Be aware of misinformation seen regarding Palestine

Most are afraid to say they are Palestinian due to being gaslit for years. The chef Sami Tamimi has written about receiving death threats and being a terrorist sympathiser.

@MrsTerryPratchett let’s be honest you don’t really know do you. If you follow any Jewish SM sites you’ll see that anti semitism is a bit of a free for all now. All and sundry are quite open in their disdain, using this conflict to express their feelings about Jews. Some of the stuff going on in Unis is disgusting. And folk suggesting that there is a bias against Palestinians are deluded. Literally every thread on this board is pro Palestinian and anyone who thinks differently is rounded on pretty quick.

Totally agree, lots of misinformation so thank you for starting this thread. But i did see the bbc report the arrests and say the majority of arrests and disruption was from the far right counter protests.

Let's be honest, the far right 'counter-protest' people are far more of a risk to both Jews and Muslims than either of the 'sides' are to each other.

@Bendysnap

Muslims in general are, yes. Here’s an example: https://x.com/hellaethics/status/1723424171466608905?s=46

Are Palestinian people living in the UK being targeted and subject to abuse while they’re out and about (like Jewish people are)? Genuine question, as I don’t know.

The BBC said there were a total of 7 arrests from the marches. They didn't say how many were from the far right. My ds was at the whole march and said it was completely peaceful. NOT what was/is reported.

The BBC have just this minute shown footage purporting to be from the hospital, Mr fucking FAFO is running around in the background, I saw it days ago!

Am watching the bbc news reporting on the marches. The discussion was all about the gaza march, which they said there was on 70 yr old who threw paint and a woman carrying a disgusting antisemitic banner. Both had their faces shown. There was not one word about the right wing thugs who caused violence and fought with police. None of their faces were shown.
Now they are interviewing jewish people about their fears of living in the UK. Not one word from Palestinian people living here. Not one.

The bias against Palestinians is awful.

Shame on the BBC.

It doesn't surprise me. They are well versed in the art of propaganda.

For more clarity, here's what's the insta post about:

"Here is a video of a woman who claims to be in Gaza, a nurse at the Shifa Hospital while it's being bombed, speaking a mix of English, "Arabish" and with al distinctly Hebrew accent.

Every staff member of the hospital who was asked have said they never seen her before, and that they had no idea who she was, they all identified her language, mode of speaking, vocabulary, and accent as being non-Gazan, non-Palestinian."
