It appears Jews are not safe in the UK at all.

Can we seriously look at the impact of anti semitism now?

Either they say it or they don't? If someone says something, why would you presume they mean something else?

I’m not sure you understand - racists often don’t say “I’m racist” out loud but say enough to make it clear they are racist.

An example would be bringing Israel into discussion on a thread about British Jews.

My post really wasn’t that hard to understand.

Bloody hell that's naive.

People don’t always say it so directly but it’s what they mean. I’ve seen it too

During Covid there were MN posts that it was the Jews trying to control the population via microchips in the vaccine and memorably something about trying to turn us into robots and something about a Jewish sex cult running the world.

Before Covid MN was full of the ‘Israel lobby’ paying everyone to undermine Corbyn and pretend that Labour was riddled with antisemitism while on social media you could see Jewish MPs targeted, the Holocaust denied, absolutely vile stuff coming from accounts of Labour members and even MPs.

Antisemitism has always been around on MN.

And very little gets done about it.
And if you call it out you get a ban, apparently!

I read it and don't remember anything controversial! I think if you email MNHQ they'll explain (or sometimes reinstate).

I was islamophobic apparently. 🙁

My post was a true account following on from previous comments, which talk guideline did it break?

Wow - some properly crazy people out there . It’s horrible to hear about the reemergence of anti semitism alongside the poisonous conspiracy stuff.

Yes there was definitely a brief spell of support for Bin Laden on here, the poster banging on about caves or something.

YaMuvva · 01/06/2024 17:10

If in doubt blame it on the Jews, it seems

Limesodaagain · 01/06/2024 17:09

noblegiraffe · 01/06/2024 16:25

I've seen and reported that sort of thing on here. Definitely the Jews did 9/11 one, that was over a few posts where they hinted that they couldn't say who really did 9/11 because it would be deleted but it definitely wasn't bin Laden etc etc.

I’ve honestly not seen any of those kinds of things on this board ( perhaps because they are deleted?)

A lot of the things he's saying - Jews killed Jesus, Jews did 9/11, Jews control the media - are things I've seen on this board.

Indeed. The faux naivety of those who claim they aren't the same thing is wearing pretty thin.

People looking for trouble rather than genuine protesters ? 😣

I have to say, since the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign projected 'From the River to the Sea' onto the Houses of Parliament I've realised that people who would be considered 'genuine protesters' (they organise a lot of the marches) also seek to deliberately provoke and cause upset to Jews.

ALovelyCupOfNameChange · 01/06/2024 12:09

If I didn’t think I’d make the whole situation ten times worse for police I’d go to just show support for the British Jews

how dare people think it’s acceptable to do this

Last week police officers were injured so more police drafted in for this weekend

This weekend there are 4 different protests or rallies from various different groups so basically avoid London. A group has stated intentions to block bridges and roads in support of Gaza. Youth speaks, how on earth blocking roads and bridges will actually help though

‘Out of control' pro-Palestine protesters goad police in central London

A female police officer sustained serious facial injuries after being hit in the face by a bottle thrown from the crowd, the Met has said.

All feels a bit 1936 cable street protests to me

Exactly, which is what many have said all along. The protesters cannot help themselves when they do this. Arrest the lot of them that turn up in the area.

I hope this doesn't come to anything but why are protestors specifically targeting Finchley today? This is a huge city, why Finchley?

https://x.com/MPSBarnet/status/1796561452901265688

It's a Jewish area so they would go there to cause fear and upset in the Jewish community. No other reason since Jewish people in the UK didn't cause the war and have no say in what happens in the middle east.

This type of protest in a Jewish area shows what those particular protesters are about. 🙄 Yet we're told it's about ending the war. Strange since the UK Jewish Community cannot affect that end.

Because people who whine that they’re not antisemitic are absolute liars
