Protest Greek island.

What is your point? Surely it is wrong what happens to protesters in Hong Kong. That’s literally why I am defending peaceful protest.
I don’t think that the protesters in Greece should be treated badly and I would hope that you wouldn’t either.

Just googled your Russia question and yes a Russian cruise ship was met with quite a nasty protest in Georgia. They hurled eggs at them and told them to go home though. This seemed very focused on Palestine rather than insults and violence. So not quite the same.

Again hijacking a ship and holding up protest signs are on completely different levels. One of them is illegal for starters and the other is not.

Peaceful protest is not illegal and should not be restricted. I am only debating the ethics of this. Comparing it to violent, illegal situations where people died will only undermine everything else you say.

Had to google that but yes Chinese tour grips have been met with protest at times. In Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam for starters.

Are you saying it's okay to target Russians and Chinese because of their respective governments? Is it fair game to have a crack at Afghans, Iranians, Pakistanis, Saudis, Yemenis, Sudanese, Syrians ?

I'm sure there's a word for that

I said I was in two minds actually about protests that are at people. It is not a clear target for an effective protest.

But If a cruise ship full of tourists from any of those countries you mentioned arrived to a peaceful protest about something their government is doing. Well I don’t think it is racist actually?

Like if a Chinese cruise ship arrived and people were holding up signs saying Stop the genocide of the Uyghurs. Even though many of the Chinese don’t even know the truth what is happening because of censoring, I don’t see how this would be racist.

With your Russia example, the EU suspended its visa agreement with Russia because of the war.

Why are you comparing Tony Robinson getting a mob together to harass people because of their religion with a peaceful protest that targeted people because of their nationality?

You’re talking about two different things. Protesting is not harassment.

If I'm standing next to two children, one that's being verbally bullied and the other is being stabbed, I'd save the one being stabbed first.

By this logic, if your child was being bullied, would you try to tackle it or would you think well the children in Gaza have it much worse so stop complaining...?

Not racist at all. I'm not protesting about it because I've only got limited energy, and genocide is more serious than hurty feelings.

Insisting that someone supports every hurty feeling cause before they can be justified in supporting ending genocide is despicable.

You are justifying yourself here by pretending that harassing israelis saves Gaza and therefore those being racist to israelis are doing so because theyre so kind.

It doesn't save Gaza. It does nothing for Gaza. If anything it pushes the average israeli towards realising the world hates them so fuck the world. If anything, Hamas sees it and is egged on to keep going.

Similarly if Tommy Robinson gets a mob together to harass random Muslims it wouldn't get the hostages released. It wouldn't get women freedom in Afghanistan.

So why do you pretend you"re helping people ? All it is, frankly, is racist. Pretty classic racist.

I despite Tommy Robinson and everything he stands for. But in the grand scheme of things, he's inconsequential compared with what is going on in Gaza. Hence me posting about Gaza and not about Robinson.

Killing babies needs to be stopped more than someone hurting feelings. Every. Single. Time.

I'm angry about things happening right now in somewhere around 80% of the countries in the world. Shall I start harassing random citizens of those countries?

I'm angry about a wide variety of horrific things going on in the world right now in the name of Islam. Shall I start harassing random Muslims?

What the difference between this and Tommy Robinson getting a mob together and protesting outside Mosques?

It's a genuine question. I'm guessing you think the obvious answer is 2, but I'm struggling to believe that when I've not seen either poster who took offence at this, being upset at the collective punishment going on in Gaza.

If someone isn't livid at babies being starved to death because they are being punished for being Gazan, then I don't get how someone can be livid at rich tourists being grumped at for being Israeli. Either it's wrong to punish a society for their government, or it isn't.

Hurty feelings are insignificant compared with death. Neither are right, but let's try and stop the death but first, or it genuinely looks like you care more about those hurty feelings than the dead babies. Hence why I don't think you can see both Gazans and Israelis as equals.
