This is just unbelievable. These ‘protesters’ are being given free rein to threaten and assault pro-Israelis (Jewish) because ‘there’s 500 of them and 2 of you’.

Police not interested in doing their job, which is upholding the law I thought?

Just sickening that this country has come to this.

Sorry to break this to you, but it’s a very small minority of people worry about a war in a foreign country.
Even less so when it is retribution for years of terrorist attacks culminating in the worst terrorist attack since 9/11.

I think you’ll find the worst terrorist attack since 9/11 was the Iraq War.

I think a lot of people have been surprised by the strength of feeling towards this genocide, and there continue to be attempts to make Palestinians and their supporters look like monsters and “mobs” as the OP puts it. It is disgraceful but unsurprising. Colonisers will always try and dehumanise the oppressed. The problem this time is that it is not working, and so efforts are being increased to try and rile people into violence. It is shameful behaviour.

Most people? I don’t think so. I think far more people see clearly what’s actually going on. It’s just not popular to share that opinion.

@nomoretreatsabsolutely this!

indoorplantqueen · 25/06/2025 07:48

@HellsBallsreally? The genocide in Gaza is discussed amongst all my friendship/ social groups and extensively on SM (like here) so I do think people care a lot.

They deliberately went to the march to get a reaction. Think the met have issued a statement. Plenty of Jewish people go to these marches and walk with those supporting the Palestine cause. But to go with an Israel flag was ridiculous and you know it. You just are looking for pity comments how the world is against Jewish people when it isn’t.

Why don’t they walk with their flags to an EDL march and see how they get on?

This!

Seriously? Sp you think they should be at risk of assault or even death for protesting with their own flag at a a ‘protest’ calling for the annihilation of their country?

Wow.

If you went on a pro-Israel march and a couple of pro-Palestine supporters turned up with a flag, what would happen? What would you feel about it?

Most people do not see the Palestinian flag as a symbol of terror and hate. You missed that bit.

I suppose if people on marches are finding flags so triggering maybe it's time to bag all such flags and maybe even the matches themselves.

quantumbutterfly · 25/06/2025 05:09

Like the ones a few years back, before 7/10, driving through London calling for the rape of jews...oh hang on.

On these 'peace' marches you never see any calls to free the Israeli hostages or any condemnation of hamas actions on 7/10, quite the opposite in fact. Do they really want peace, or the destruction of Israel?

Lot of hate speech on this thread, I don't expect it to last.

I don’t care why they chose to be there. What does it matter? This a free country, are you saying Jewish people shouldn’t be on public streets?

Why would you think I know them? They have just as much right to fly their country’s flag as all those who were, more likely, flying someone else’s country’s flag.

Do you think that the pro-Palestinian mob have a right to freedom of expression by calling for the destruction of a country, calling their people scum and assaulting and threatening people of that country but the people of that country don’t have a right to fly their flag in protest of this? Then get treated like shit by the police and threatened with arrest?

What a totally fucked up argument.

Oh come on! They did it to cause trouble and you know it. They should have been arrested.

They were. Until a group stepped literally into the centre of a March protesting genocide and unfurled a symbol of the genocide in the path of the people on the protest. It was a deliberate provocation and inflammatory action. It was an obvious attempt to change the dialogue about starving a civilian population

Hi @PickyBits I thought this was in the UK ? How can Israel be their country? Are they Israelis temporarily in the UK or are they british, in which case Israel is not their country. confusing to say the least.

Either way, abuse is never ever ok. That needs saying.

Who said everyone there were relatives? No doubt some people there are though and I don't understand why anyone would think it was appropriate to pop along with the flag that represents the country who have open about their wish to ethnically cleanse them. Why do you think they chose to do that you still haven't said?

This is the UK. If he wants to go and fly his flag then he can.
