Israeli flag flyers threatened with arrest after being attacked by Pro-Palestine mob.

I’m an atheist.

We (humans) had agreed on international laws after ww2. They should have always been applied universally, with no exceptions for “our allies”.

You saying it's not disgusting to actively wish harm on random strangers? Or only when Israelis do it?

Whose actions on behalf of Gaza? What about all the Jewish protestors who are protesting against Israel’s actions? Are they making themselves feel unsafe?

It’s why the laws are needed. People will promote this stuff.

A good step towards authoritarianism. Well done “change labour”.

The actions taken on behalf of Gaza including the recent terrorism at the air base Brize Norton.

Also protesters making Jewish people feel unsafe here.

These bring negative connotations.

You might be separate to that but this thread is about flags and what people attribute to them. I disagree with a few posts below summing up the two flags below.

It’s always about hurt feelings isn’t it?

Jesus what a disgusting thing to say.

Who is wrong about what? I promise that I am not being deliberately obtuse but I genuinely cannot make head nor tail of your points. Who has taken what actions that have not helped which cause?

People on marches protest for all sorts of reasons. They do not always align. Protesters at the same march do not all belong to the same groups or think the same things. Not everybody is tribal. So when you keep banging on about “them” and “they” you need to be very specific about who you are talking about. Because I’m sure you would hate it if someone decided that every single English person thinks the same way about every subject, right? Why not open your mind a little to the idea that people outside of your limited frame of reference also have the ability to think differently to each other?

I think there’s many thinking that. It’s not often all parties would agree on something. Proscribing them terrorists.

Supposition? Hilarious given the plight of Gaza is directly related to which sky fairy you follow.

No to you. Do you follow the news? Did you see the recent proscription of PA as a terrorist organisation after attacking an air base.

That’s more likely to be current for the public than Gaza. In fact it probably has rare cross party support to proscribe.

Most British people will want Jewish people to feel safe. Don’t you want that?

Outside mn and the CITME board (I’m sure you know that you’re on it) I very much doubt the feelings are shared.

The public don’t want to have the disruption of the protests, they don’t want terrorism in anyone’s name and those actions just put people off it all.

I know you’ll be you don’t get it, that’s part of the problem here. Just a blank. It won’t get you the support though.

There’s much on this thread on how people feel about flags.

They’re likely wrong. Those who take action haven’t helped their cause.

There’s a lot of supposition in your posts, why is that? And are you the designated spokesperson for the British public now? I didn’t realise that job had been advertised.

I'm not Jewish but have absolute solidarity with Israel for defending themselves against a death cult.

I think that, generally speaking, it is harder for those who are (loosely speaking as it’s not a black and white one or the other situation) ‘pro Israel’ to say so, as the ‘pro Palestine’ people are, in general, more aggressive and more convinced of their righteousness. They are less nuanced in their view of the situation and more likely to engage in us v them thinking.

In this respect it’s similar to the trans / gender critical situation. Many of us have kept out mouths firmly shut in the workplace and even socially, because the TRAs are more aggressive. But the TRAs don’t represent the majority of people’s views by any means. And it’s possible to respect trans rights but not want them to encroach on women’s rights but most ‘trans rights’ people use insults instead of engaging in sensible discussion. That’s my experience, anyway.

I’m not sure it’s fair to say the UK is ‘pro Palestine’ and interpret that to mean ‘anti Israel’. The extent of civilian death and suffering in Gaza in this war is completely deplorable and I would expect almost everyone in this country to agree. Also, most people want the people of Gaza to have their own state. Where people differ is on where the chief responsibility lies. I see a lot of nuance from Israel supporters - most don’t like Netanyahu, most deplore the West Bank settlers, etc. Many pro-Palestine people seem incapable of blaming anyone or anything but Israel and quickly become aggressive and frankly unreasonable and childish - comments about even birds not liking the flag of Israel? I mean, come on.

I heard the plane was so offended that a bit of paint was called terrorism when actual terrorism is going on right now.
