Why is a conflict 2,200 miles away allowed to cause mayhem on UK streets?

You are combining two issues here.

1. Isn't it disgusting that this violent incident occurred

2. Why do people in the UK care about a conflict thousands of miles away in Gaza

3. Yes of course; this is a horrible incident, sounds terrifying for the shopkeeper involved and any others caught up in it. The perpetrators deserve to be caught by the police and prosecuted

4. because their is a genocide being carried out and as UK tax payers our government is complicit.

Don't worry we have our own home grown cunts too. Look at the fools that attacked a paediatrician as they thought he was a paedophile. All the centuries of hidden child abuse within the church (still ongoing and being horribly covered up).
Your post comes across as racist despite your final sentence.

The whole of British society is built on us causing suffering to others.

and yet we don’t give a shit about 30.000 dead and millions dying thanks to our PM and Biden.

we live in a very sad racist society where a Chaplin from a uni is allowed to go and commit genocide.

British society is so backwards. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Because genocide is bad. This shouldn’t be something that needs explaining.

That is absolutely factually incorrect and just complete racist drivel

100% this!

The racism on mumsnet has absolutely spiralled in the last few months.

So I’d were going to say there has always been violence and there’s nothing to see or report here then I guess there’s always been wars and innocent people dying has always been part of that. So nothing to see here, there or anywhere.

I am appalled at the racism on this thread.

And how is attacking a shopkeeper going to help?

Because we have more and more people here who act with impunity, We seem to be more worried about offending certain groups than applying the law .
The police need to act not pander .

Daily Mail doing what they do best and stirring the pot. Mumsnet closet racists all over it.

For the record, protests against the genocide are attended by thousands of British Muslims and non Muslims alike who stand together in peace. Anyone who doesn't want to see the real agenda behind a national paper posting this local report needs to have a word with themselves. The idiots in this article don't represent the thousands of UK Muslims who are opposed to the illegal occupation.

What about the pitched battles between mods and rockers?

Or can you not see those through your rose-tinted spectacles?

There has always been violence from some. And it is almost always overblown by the shit papers like the Daily Mail.

"And the the relevance of @Echobelly mentioning she is ✡️ Jewish"?

It just sounds like you are deliberately looking for anything to nit pick about,
to be provocative, so to be judgemental make a point about allmost anything...

Got it...

Society is unravelling when I’m looking at the news and seeing pretty regular footage of people in the streets going at it with weapons. Large sticks in this case, machetes elsewhere in broad bloody daylight. I look back at footage of the 1960s with young people in London wearing colourful clothing and huge smiles and wonder what the fuck happened.

I do agree that this would normally be a local, not national, story but even one incident like this is one too many and note the shopowner is himself Muslim judging by his name.

If somebody wants to BDS, fine go ahead but they have no right to try and force others. (Not to mention none of them boycott Israeli technology or anything that would actually inconvenience them.)

Violence towards people here isn't going to help Palestine in the slightest is it?

The UK has a racism problem

No names released of those arrested yet posts here about “imported people”. Starting to think people are right when they say MN has a racism problem.

I think similar things happened before and during ww2 about German goods or things that were perceived to German. Even the royal family had a rebrand. Feelings run high and some people turn to violence. They should be arrested and charged like anyone else breaking the law. I don’t think we need to stop freedom of speech as a result, that seems ludicrous.

And?

Society is indeed unravelling when we can watch a genocide happening in real time and so-called civilised people doing fuck all to stop it

Certain groups in Britain expect special treatment and will lobby, harass, intimidate, etc to get it. The projection onto Big Ben of a political slogan shocked me last week. The police do nothing, won’t use the laws they have. We have been far too tolerant of political fundamentalist Islam.

I am appalled that kindness, tolerance and equality is being perverted in plain sight.
I am sick of the sight of flags and chanting and division.
The police seem to set a very high bar on what behaviour they will actually intervene to stop and then it seems only when it is a small group so easy for them to target.
If I speak out I am thought to be a bigot and a racist which is the very last thing I am.
This does not show islam in a good light and I am sorry for muslims who just want a quiet and normal life.
People of all backgrounds should feel safe in the UK and there must be no allowance given for intimidation whatever the perpetrators believe.
Whilst war anywhere is a terrible thing we cannot allow our country to be dictated to by extremists insisting on their personal views. It has gone far beyond peaceful protest.

Would it also be a local thing not worth bothering about if I took some friends and beat Muslims with sticks because they were boycotting Israeli goods and I didn't approve?

Would people say it's 'probably about some grudge' even though the video is pretty clear?

I'm less shocked about thugs from a culture that teaches that this is how you are entitled to deal with dissent than I am the sight of British people falling over themselves to excuse it.

What level of abuse and intimidation would be unacceptable? Where are we supposed to draw the line?
