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

So again a pro Israel march you would support people plonking themselves in the middle with Palestinian flags and shouting fuck you at anyone who is there? People should be able to walk down the street right?

So they just happened to be walking through a Pro Palestine march minding their own business waving a flag?

And yes I don't see a difference between targeting a vigil where you know grieving people might be and targeting a march where you know grieving families might be. The end result is the same isn't it?

Am i missing something? Why would the Palestinian flag trigger victims of the Manchester attacks?
Palestinian does not equal Hamas in the same way Irish does not equal IRA.... the large majority of people affected by the genocide in gaza are innocent children. People can protest against the murder of children while still being against hamas.

Answer the very basic question I put to you.

Yep, I’m aware it has been going on for decades.
I know that for many British people it wasn’t on the radar until 7/10
I know that some people have looked at the history books and come down on which side they sympathise with.
Israel have continually said that a ceasefire is an option if Hamas release the hostages. They haven’t 🤷‍♀️
Granted, it’s a very basic illustration but that’s what you’re dealing with when you want to convey support for a terrorist government.

So only one group can hold a flag? Why is that?

I wish they were more balanced. Tbf I usually avoid the pro Palestinian threads, they get boring now.

Come on. What was their motivation I wonder. I personally don’t walk around London waving my country’s flag every day 🙄

The police was right to move them on, just as they would be right to moving on protesters turning up outside a synagogue waving their Palestinian flags.

I really wish these threads were more balanced. It’s a bit boring now.

Interesting that South Africa has actually accused Israel of apartheid politics…

A vigil now?

Someone can walk through a group and can expect to not be assaulted. If they are it’s the clear who is seen as the thugs.

That’s the problem, it spreads a bad image for these protests. Assaulting people is not peaceful.

My post said "Same".

In regard to another poster saying I'm not Jewish but have absolute solidarity with Israel for defending themselves from a death cult.

I have now explained that the "Same" was more in relation to this part of the other person's comment, I'm not Jewish but have absolute solidarity with Israel for defending themselves ... than to the "death cult" part which is a phrase I don't personally use.

You're getting agitated for no reason.

I’d rather defend this behaviour than the behaviour of the government of Israel

So you would support someone turning up to a vigil for the hostages where grieving relatives may be and shout fuck you repeatedly at them, the police should leave that be? You would only have an issue if the grieving families reacted to that in a violent way?

I think if you have some knowledge about the conflict which spans decades, then you wouldn’t say thing like “Hamas is the problem”. There is no one problem in this conflict.

So you don’t think UK terror victims and their families?
You don’t think the brand Pro Palestine has evolved into would intimidate someone who lost their kid to a terrorist? Thinking Ariana concert here.

If the answer from pro Palestine protestors is to assault them then it is they who are the thugs - and people will view them as such.

Me too. It’s not right anyone is suffering persecution or violence.
I was completely on board with people who are pro Palestine prior to 7/10.
I would say that I still am. But while some supporters refuse to accept Hamas is the problem, I feel the movement is now just an opportunity to be antisemitic.

You lost me at the word DEFENSE in reference to Israel’s massacre in Gaza.

You said that you care about people who feel unsafe? Surely you can see how that situation would lead to people feeling unsafe. If someone was supporting the killers of my parents or siblings and shouting fuck you at me while waving the flag under which the killing is happening I would find that very intimidating and feel unsafe, wouldn't you?

But your post DIDN’T say that at all. Your post said that you felt the same about Israel’s right to protect itself against a death cult. Your post said should really be careful that you practice what you preach, or people will come after you. But hey, no worries eh? All a big misunderstanding.

Death cult is not a term you will ever see me using myself. I call them Hamas or terrorists.

I was more saying "Same" in relation to this part of the other person's comment, I'm not Jewish but have absolute solidarity with Israel for defending themselves

I am not a government, nor the OED, why does this surprise you?

Yes it’s shit, from Met P point of view it’s would be easier to control 2 individuals, rather then 500!

No why would I agree to that?

People who protest are accountable for their own actions including not assaulting someone else.

Pro Palestinian protestors thinking it’s ok to do this are off putting to others. It’s really not the way to go if you want support.

Gaza didn’t have western support before hamas.
The UK’s successive governments are happy with the ruining the system of international laws. A day will come when we as a medium country would want to rely on the international laws as our protection, but it might be too late.
