Just horrendous. There was a big Jewish gathering on the beach. Jewish festival goers targeted by two gunmen. At least ten people dead according to police.

@Manova14

“Western countries, followers of what religions are responsible for terrorist acts?
Islam is the only one.”
**

I’m not going to argue anymore about this with you. You were the one that said there was only one religion that had terrorist members. I disagree. There is an enormous amount of information available on the internet about the White Christian nationalist background of some terrorist attacks. Here’s Just a very tiny bit of it. I’ve linked the time article - it’s worth a read.

“The Christchurch shooter in turn took particular inspiration from the ideology of a terrorist who killed nearly 100 people at a youth camp on Utøya island in Norway in 2011. The Utøya shooter also published a manifesto, which contains clear white Christian nationalist appeals throughout. He asked God to help him succeed in his mission to expel all Muslims from Europe, and he decried the way multiculturalism was deconstructing European culture and “European Christendom.” Toward the end of the document, he proclaimed, “Onward Christian soldiers! Celebrate us, the martyrs of the conservative revolution, for we will soon dine in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

it does no good to talk about one type of terrorist threat and not another.

that's not answering the question

stomachamelon · 15/12/2025 07:01

@Greysowhat that’s a pretty low thing to say even by ‘suggestion’.

stomachamelon · 15/12/2025 07:02

It’s clear reading back from your subsequent post you are saying things in bad faith.

stomachamelon · 15/12/2025 07:06

Also… dna testing is not banned by the ‘Zionist rulers’ it’s regulated as it is in France. More rubbish….

It's not religion that causes mayhem; it's evil people who use religion as a cover-up for their innate malevolence and who take verses out of context to get useful idiots to follow their wickedness. I can assure you, the world is chock-full of Muslims who do not murder people.

Even after the atrocity in Australia, pro-Palestinian protestors have been causing trouble in Amsterdam at Hanukkah celebrations. It's time these people were shut down.

They have no humanity.

TheWomanInTheUnironedMask · 15/12/2025 07:11

Can I urge people to report anti semitism and not engage. It’s horrifically disrespectful on this thread particularly and MNHQ should deal with repeat offenders but we need to make them aware. This was a horrific event and my thoughts are with everyone involved, especially as I lit a candle last night to provide light and wish for peace.

I've now said this umpteen times:

Multiple posters said that Judaism was fake and didn't exist. That's a terrible thing to say on a thread about Jewish people being killed for their religion.

It's really not that hard to understand.

I'm puzzled as to why you don't appear to follow the simple logic: Denial of religion on a thread about a religious killing = sticking up for the victims' religion = religion backed up by science bc atheists like proof.

I talked about science, not any god, so I'm unsure why you think I was defining a god.

@marmalade007 Copying you, because it's you who've lost the thread of the conversation, not me.

Still lost sorry, you need to be clearer.

That's a really, really dreadful terrible thing to say, not to mention breathtakingly stupid. Jewish people have been persecuted since at least around 550 BC. The persecution has been widespread and has never stopped in two and a half thousand years, culminating in the Holocaust and continuing to what happened on this very day. How you can say that the Jewish people are not victims is contrary to fact and totally unreasonable. Or are you saying that at least twenty-five centuries of persecution and bloodshed doesn't qualify a people as victims?

So although it is catergorised by the world's leading association of genocide scholars as genocide it is not its just a war.

Did you read the articles i have linked?
'A resolution passed by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) states that Israel's conduct meets the legal definition as laid out in the UN convention on genocide.'

Heres another one from the United nations of human rights.

'GENEVA – Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel said in a new report today. The Commission urges Israel and all States to fulfil their legal obligations under international law to end the genocide and punish those responsible for it.'

THERE IS NO BIAS HERE, IT IS THE UN NOT ME!!!

So tell me, do you still catergorically deny that this is a genocide.

I just want to hear it from you one more time before i realise you are potentially delusional
or in delibrate denial.

Its not good or moral to deny people are being wiped out or ethnically cleanses especially btw.

'A resolution passed by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) states that Israel's conduct meets the legal definition as laid out in the UN convention on genocide.'

People keep quoting the IAGS as some kind of authority, yet only 129 of their members voted on that particular resolution, out of approximately 500, so less than a third.
More importantly, there don’t seem to be any strict academic or professional prerequisites to become a “genocide scholar”.
According to their own website, “IAGS members are academic scholars, human rights activists, students, museum and memorial professionals, policymakers, educators, anthropologists, independent scholars, sociologists, artists, political scientists, economists, historians, international law scholars, psychologists, and literature and film scholars.”

Actually, I meant to reply to @RedTagAlan with that post and thought I had, which was why I then copied you. Anyway. Doesn't matter.

stomachamelon · 15/12/2025 07:21

@Greysowhati know it’s early bit when you can track back to your own statements. I am not the only one to comment.

@TheWomanInTheUnironedMask can I echo this and keep a record please as I do. It’s a reportable offence and there have been many successful prosecutions for repeated offences.

Antisemitism is not ok. Carrying on that tradition on a thread about a terrorist incident directed at Jewish people is unhinged.

You said that "Jewish victimhood" is a myth. When it's clear that the Jewish people have suffered horrendously from persecution for millennia.

I get deleted for a post about my parents being afraid yet the raving and gleeful anti semites are not only left to stand when they ought to be permanently banned.
