How have we come to a state where the police confront someone for being overtly Jewish?

Listen to Jews and stop connecting 'crimes' in Gaza with Jews, would be a start.

Beyond stopping the protests, or stopping the crimes being committed in Gaza, what else can be done to reduce antisemitism?

What can people who care do to help?

What are some realistically implemented actions that people can take?

It is linked the JC article talks about dehumanising Jews and the Nazi connection. The Zionist Militia was the start of destroying Palestine. I would disagree that your knowledge is good.

Absolutely this. The policeman did not say anything malicious to the Jewish guy. Seemed like he was trying to protect him from himself and the baying mob.

My history is good, thanks. These posts are about celebrations of Hamas's recent Oct 7th attacks. It was not clear what the historic Zionist Miitias have to do with it - no need to explain. Lets keep to the subject of the thread.

Please provide evidence where the JC has made false statements?

@SharonEllis the JC has been known for making false statements. As for the Zionist Militia, you need to brush up on your history. Simon Sebag Montefiore's book Jerusalem writes about it in a balanced way

Good to know.

Go for it!

That's grand. I'm terribly proud of the union flag and am considering having a little flagpole, I'm sure everyone will take it in the spirit it's intended. Honi soit qui mal y pense & all that.

I wave the Palestinian flag with pride and support. So I see nothing wrong with it.

If you're offending , I simply don't care.

You need to quote them directly not through my post if you want them to see it

I was agreeing with her opinion of Rachel Riley being racist.

You agreed with @namechangedforconfusion so I was adressing you both.

My post has nothing to do with anything you've commented on. Have you tagged me by mistake?

...and Sky News:

I can see that The Guardian is not on the list of apparently hopelessly biased sources -
What about this one then?

The Palestinian flag is not necessarily, of itself pro-Hamas. But what other reading is there of people waving it in celebration in the aftermath of 7 October? Imagine hearing of the murder, mutiliation, rape & torture of human beings and your instinct is to celebrate. The denialism & obfuscation here is chilling. So much for wanting peace.

Are you suggesting the Jewish Chronicle is lying? Are you suggesting there is any justification for celebrating the horror of 7 October? I have not come across the Zionist Militia before - who are they?

I was waiting for this comment.

Yet Al Jazeera is often linked to on these threads.

Both creditable sources to those who consume their news and opinions from them.

A vast minority is "many" to me in the UK.

Agree. I have no time for people that call out hate against their own community but at the same time spread hate about another. I see a lot of it on these threads too. You either disagree with hate and division or you don't, you can't have it both ways.

The day after I was in central London - a man was cycling around with a Palestinian flag cheering & whistling. Some people cheered and honked cars in response. Utterly horrifying. There are lots of documented examples - I'm surprised you didn't read about them or see them online.

How many would be too many?

Despite our expectations, not everything is on camera..yet. The examples that are easily found online are a small part of wider ill-feeling that I have seen and witnessed, ( like many others I expect) but tragically I forgot to photo and post my experiences.

Still, as many people like to tritely say 'data is not the plural of anecdote', though I would counter that by saying empirical evidence has value.

Rachel Riley is a known racist and Islamophobe. I don't take anything she says with merit.

And the Palestinian flag is not antisemitic or a symbol for pro-Hamas. Get over yourselves and stop this censorship!

Thank you for providing these examples, it must be very scary to witness or hear about things like this. I can understand the fear.

However, I do think this shows a small minority of extremists celebrated and that it’s misleading to say many people in the UK did this.

It seems common that the unsavoury actions of a minority of people are used as evidence to suggest that they are representative of the majority.

The Jewish Chronicle an unbiased source (not). I would expect the Zionist Militia who expelled Palistineans from their homes would also be a consideration?
