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

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

At this juncture and after Brize Norton, the Palestine flag could be considered a flag that represents being anti British in addition anti Israel and anti Jew.
That is not helping Palestine folk is it?
Just stop oil shenanigans didn’t help their cause either. It merely pushed people to judge them negatively.

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

Sadly for some support for the group won’t be legal anymore.

Definition of Genocide = Acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such," including:

• Killing members of the group - I think it's safe to say Israel has a big tick on this one. Since 1949 Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians murdered and starved tp death by Israel.
• Causing serious bodily or mental harm - Israel despite having precision technology when it suits them has chosen to carpet bomb large civilian areas, in many cases telling the people ahead of time that these were safe zones only to burn them alive in tents when they get there.
• Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction - bombing hospitals, blocking aid so people starve.
• Imposing measures to prevent births - attacking hospitals and letting babies rot in incubators, blocking access to baby formula, blocking food so women can't breastfeed,
• Forcibly transferring children - at the end of 2024 there were 163 Palestinian children taken and detained without trial by Israel. Since then Israel have refused to release the numbers.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck

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.

The planes must have been terrified.

PA are the group who broke into a military base in the uk and painted graffiti on some planes, I think?

Oh I’m sorry your feelings are hurt. That must be so distressing for you. How will you cope?

What is PA? I still don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you meant to be responding to someone else?

Human rights groups have slammed the Trump administration’s push to take over Gaza and forcibly displace Palestinians as a violation of international law amounting to ethnic cleansing.

Who should we believe. You, or maybe actually established human rights groups?? I know who I believe.

Happy to replace genocide with “slaughter and mutilation if tens of thousands of women and children with the intent to eradicate the population” is it really means something different to you?

Well my family went through an actual genocide in the twentieth century and I am not at all distressed by anyone using the word “genocide” to describe a genocide. And my actual father who was actually imprisoned without trial and actually tortured, not to mention my family members who were actually beaten and my people who were actually murdered by the score would all agree that this is a genocide.

Believe it or not, people who have actually experienced such events are better placed than you who knows someone who knows someone to be able to say what genocide is. What apartheid is. And what oppression is.

But yeah, well done on your attempts at victimhood.

It isn't genocide in any way, shape or form. The way the word is so misused when there are actual genocides going on right now is offensive. Pro-Palestinians are easily offended even to the point of violence as the incident in the OP shows yet again, yet there's still quibbling about their own grossly offensive inaccurate appropriation of serious terminology. It's so hypocritical.

Well my connection to this woman would be anonymous poster on the internets, best friend’s grandmother, so I’m going to guess I wouldn’t know how she felt (and that you might not either). However I DO know some people who suffered under apartheid in SA and they are very sympathetic to the Palestinian experience.

Sure. You don’t have support from the public. People don’t want the terrorist type stuff from PA.

Exactly. Very hard to tell from clip. I’ve been at many protest marches for various things over my whole life and less so at counter protests. And the counter protesters are always kept separate from main protest to stop trouble. It has nothing to do with flags per se.

I was at a counter protest for a far right rally recently and I’d have been insane to walk into the main protest with my “Hate has no home here” sign.

You’re still not making sense I’m afraid. Maybe try again?

My best friend's nan came from apartheid south Africa where she wasn't even acknowledged as a human being. Do you have any idea how distressing it is to her and her family to have the word cheapened and misused like that?

Can you explain what you mean?

Feelings are clearly more important than actual genocide in this case. I mean how dare we call a spade a spade? We should be ashamed of ourselves for hurting feelings. The thousands of dead and mutilated children are of no matter to hurt feelings.

I couldn’t get what you were trying to say, but see you couldn’t answer clearly.

Given Hamas brutalised Israelis on October 7th and do the same to people in Gaza the protests should be to get rid of Hamas. As the braver people of Gaza tried.

As it is people wanting sympathy from the public on the protests here are unlikely to get it outside CITME board. People don’t want PA type actions, nor anything making Jewish people feel unsafe.

I'm in a Liverpool sink estate that is in one of the most deprived areas in Europe. We don't have much in common with the pro-Palestines from the leafy London suburbs.

I don’t actually know what you are asking me. I can’t make sense of your post.

But if you are going to employ circular logic then so am I. You don’t control the narrative I’m afraid.
