For me it’s:

people who think that Michael Jackson isn’t a pedophile.

people who say things like “Londanistan” “Bradfordistan”

People who say “If the Holocaust is real, why do the tattoo numbers only go up to 5 digits”

I like Jewish people, I do not like the Israeli Government and I do not like Zionists, they are separate things no matter how hard you’re trying to conflate them.

I think, given that the Israeli government has admitted that it lied about the events of October 7th then I am willing to believe that others have lied about what happened to them on October 7th, I’m sorry for the women who were actually raped that day.

So you don't like 80% of Jewish people and think that because their government (like all governments) has allegedly lied in the past Israeli women must have lked about being raped.

For the record, I do like Hamas, I specifically said that I don’t think they are good, but I do support their right exist and to defend themselves against the Israeli government. I do not want Hamas to govern Palestine.

Are you in the UK? Because if so supporting Hamas is illegal and I hope @mnhq take your support for a proscribed organisation seriously.

  1. What is voluntary migration when it’s at home? Can you give an example?
  2. For the 5th time as well, you don’t need to use the word Jew to be antisemitic. Just like you don’t need to say the word gay to be homophobic or Muslim to be Islamophobic. Your antisemitism is from the Nazi-level tropes you’ve used when talking about Israel. And anti-Zionism IS antisemitism. If you believe a whole race don’t deserve their own country (like what billions of others get) that’s racism.
  3. I like Jewish people Lol!! Why do you use harmful tropes about them then? This is the equivalent of “I have loads of black friends!”. I do not like Zionists. You don’t like Jews who want a homeland and self determination? Most Jews are Zionist’s BTW. There’s nothing at all wrong with it
  4. I don’t understand what comparison you’re trying to make with your comment of 1930s Germany. Well no you wouldn’t because you don’t understand what antisemitism looks like or how the hatred of Jews has always presented itself in the EXACT same principles. I can tell you more if you’re up for hearing it? I’ll give a quick example - Hitler told the world Jews acted in bad faith, that they tried to control the world and the media and that they play the victim when they’re not. You have used every single one of those tropes in an updated and modern way when you’ve spoken about bots and Jewish women lying about being raped on October 7th.
  5. I will remind you though that in 1948, Zionists, with the backing of the British Government LITERALLY kicked out men, women and children from their homes and called it the Nakba Actually Nakba was coined by a Syrian. Aside from the fact a lot of the displacement was entirely voluntary, you may want to remember that at the same time 850,000 Jews were displaced from Arab countries. But yes Israelis have not been perfect and this is a legitimate reason to be anti-Israel. the problem is that you couple this with antisemitic rhetoric, and only choose to be outraged when much larger and more modern displacements have happened since.
  6. I think, given that the Israeli government has admitted that it lied about the events of October 7th then I am willing to believe that others have lied about what happened to them on October 7th, I’m sorry for the women who were actually raped that day. When did the government admit to lying?? And no you’re not at all sorry - you clearly see these Israeli women as less than human. But wait - earlier you said they were NO rapes at all. So are they lying, or were you wrong?
  7. AfTer WW2 Zionists should not have gone to Palestine, taken part in the Nakba and stole their land and homes. You do realise when you say zionists we know you mean Jews right? Just say Jews. OK - what should the have done?
  8. There are many Jewish communities throughout the world, IN FACT there’s a large Jewish community in Iran Yes I know. So what.
  9. Jewish people are not entitled to take a land because some Zionists believe it is their right. Again - the Jews got Israel fair and square. They NEEDED it for their own safety. What would you hve done? Of toys been tortured, starved and watched all your family be murdered only to return home to more hate than before the Shoah? Stuck around and been killed? Or gone to a country that the UN freely gave you?
  10. I 100% agree that people in Iraq should not rape 9 year old children and I will tell them that the next time I meet one stirring up division on an internet forum. Tell who? British Muslims? Why, it’s not their fault. I wasn’t stirring up division I was calling out antisemitism
  11. I never said you were Israeli and I don’t have anything against Israelis So why did you tell em to stop leaving Palestinians alone then? I don’t why it’s I live in Yorkshire.
  12. it’s the Israeli Government I have a problem with You may be surprised to find that I’m not enamoured with them either - neither are any of the many Israelis I know. But it has to be said - Israel was always going to be hated, and hated in a language used about Jews centuries ago. And what do you know / that’s what’s happened
  13. Unfortunately Israelis/Jewish people are in more danger than ever because, other people are doing exactly what you’re trying to make me do, which is to conflate the two. I feel sorry for ordinary Israelis. No they are in danger because of antisemites who use age old hateful tropes to demonise them. I thought you hated Zionist’s? Most Israelis are zionsits BTWs
  14. I know what antisemitism is and I am very confident in my stance, I am anti Zionist! which is antisemitism. And you really don’t know what antisemitism is because you asked me what Germany in the 1930’s had to do with tropes
  15. Inever once mentioned Germany never said you did. But you are falling for the same Nazi propoganda the Germans did in the 1930’s
  16. For the record, I do like Hamas Wow. Says it all. You hate zionists but “likel a terrorist forum that rapes women and murder babies. And you say you’re not antisemitic. FFS.
  17. I specifically said that I don’t think they are good well no, rapists and murderers usually aren’t. Do you want a medal?
  18. I do not want Hamas to govern Palestine. me neither. Hamas are the problem for the Palestinians, not Israel.
Now that we’ve cleared that up… do you have any other tropes about antisemitism, migration, Hamas that you haven’t used yet? Because I could do this all day!

Me too mate. I mean you actually “like” a Jew hating murderous baby killing rapist terrroist organisation. But claim you like a Jewish people. The delusion of Jew haters is embarrassing.

Tripes about antisemitism and Hamas? What?

Im happy to define the nuances of antisemitism if you want em to? I doubt it though considering you like a terrorist organisation hell bent on killing Jews, Nazi 2.0.

How do you feel about the fact that people like me and my children and family are in extreme REAL danger every day because of people like you? Does it feel good? Are you a good person for it? Because you say you are but TBH IME Nazis who support murdering rapists are the shittiest people of all

Edited

It’s really shocking. I can’t even tell you how this makes me feel, but I’m scared for my life and my children because of people like @OneWittyGuide

There are people who’d support Holocaust 2.0, and those people are Hamas supporters.

Ironically @OneWittyGuide you are the very reason Israel MUST exist at all costs.

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 12/02/2026 21:05

It’s very important people support Palestine, but I genuinely believe nobody does who isn’t racist against Jews. like I say I barely have to scratch the surface.

Liking Jews but liking Hamas would be laughable if it wasn’t so terrifying. It’s like saying “I like black people but I also like the KKK and support the KKK’s right to exist”

I am also amused that @OneWittyGuide said that I’m a bot because I mentioned Michael Jackson is a nonce and he “supported Palestine”. I had no idea of this because I don’t follow the interests and poltical opinions of dirty little child rapists. But hey for some people being a Palestine supporter clearly absconds child rapists and makes them good people

Thought of a few more.

People who use BOOMER as an insult, and blame them for anything and everything that is wrong in their life. (I'm GenX, so have no skin in the game.)

People who park on the road, when they have a driveway. (People who do this are a special kind of entitled thoughtless gonk.)

Anyone who calls God the Sky Fairy, or an 'imaginary friend.' (Always the sort of person to avoid, and ignore.)

Anyone who questions why anyone in the UK says MOM, instead of MUM. (Ignorant as fuck, and ignoring millions of people in the midlands.)

People who have SUVs/off road vehicles when they live in a city or town or suburb, and rarely even go near country roads.

People who put passive aggressive snarky posts on Facebook clearly aimed at someone, making their argument public. 'Sick of not being able to trust people I thought of as a friend.' Cue someone saying 'oh what's up hun?' .....and the person posting says 'can't say on here....' 🙄

People who have he/him or she/her in their bio online.

Anyone who has lip filler, BBL, or turkey teeth.

People who smoke cannabis. Vile habit. I can't believe they can't see how bad the stench is, and they're in total denial of what it's doing to their brain, their lungs and respiritatory system, and their I.Q. They are rarely bright people, and usually not well educated.

Anyone who dates anyone young enough to be their child (or old enough to be their parent!)

As another poster said ... atheists who get their children christened.

Also, people who have not put foot in a church more than 5 times in their life who get married in church. Hypocrisy overload!

I aso agree with the poster who said people who 'blend families' after being together about 6 months.

People who use the word ‘gonk’, i love!

And illegal immigration is causing a lot of problems for many people too. Particularly those who are already struggling the most. The ones who have the least recourse to minimise the impact.

Just because something doesn’t affect me negatively doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect anyone negatively.

No, but it's not an either/or situation either. The super-rich also carry rather a lot of blame for the state the country is in.

garlictwist · 13/02/2026 14:09

I don't think you can judge poor spelling and grammar and deduce that the writer/speaker is an idiot. Plenty of people have legitimate struggles with that.

I can't stand fly tipping, litter or graffiti - there is a lot of it where I live. I saw a bloke screech to halt in the middle of my street once, wind down his window, lob out a a McDonald's and just drive off. That, for me, is selfish idiocy.

Can't top crisp eating in saunas!!

But I do judge people who think it is appropriate to have personal, tmi, loud conversations in a sauna full of people. Boob jobs, cheating husbands, I could write a book on the stuff I've been subjected to listening to in there. There was a man the other week who sounded like a total knob talking about his investment portfolio and his "return on income" YAWN

Also hate: personalised number plates, white range rovers, entitled parking / driving.

Aaaaaannnnnnd breathe

igelkott2026 · 13/02/2026 15:07

You can believe in the right to a homeland all you want but NO ONE, no person, no country, no religion, no business, no institution, have a right to dispossess the people who are currently living on that land and have been for thousands of years, just because they believe it.

I’ll ask again - you don’t believe in immigration? Many Palestinians left voluntarily, many also stayed it UNWRA counts all of them and their descendants as displaced. Even daughter’s is USA billionaires. And I’ll ask again- when is your cut off? 1948? Because there have been much bigger and more recent displacements. Are you against that too? Or just the Jewish one? You say “thousands of years” but what about the fact the Jews HAVE been there for longer than any Palestinian. Was it OK that they were displaced?

Im asking about the belief in Zionism and what’s wrong with it. Why don’t Jews get their homeland to live in?

Tell me why Israel, who is currently occupying Palestine, is allowed to do what’s it’s doing?

There is no occupation. The Jews got Israel fair and square and the Arabs didn’t want to live alongside them. The Jews left Gaza in 2005 and the Palestinans created third world state with no efforts for a good life for anyone but their terrorist male leaders. They have waged a continuous campaign against Israelis and Jews. But sure, blame the Jews

Answer this one question, what would you do if I came to your house and took it because I believed I had the right to?

Answer the ons I’ve asked you first and I’ll answer this.

Again, nobody is saying Israel hasn’t done many bad things. The expectation of perfection is for all very odd. But for Israelis in 2026, who would literally be killed and ARE killed anywhere else in the world, don’t deserve to be punished for what other people before their time did. They are trying to protect their state - a state BTW which flourishes in equality, science, medicine, innovations and gay rights - and everyone is having a hissy fit over it.

On that note - how com Gaza is under Sharia law and not like Israel? Because the liberal Israelis demand it?

And have you ever spoken to an Israeli BTW?

Zionists want to live peacefully with Palestinians then they need to stop occupying Palestine

What do you think would happen to Jews if Israel stopped defending themselves? Would Hamas so “cheers no worries”? How about Hamas step down, go to jail where they belong and then maybe the Palestinians would have a chance. But why the hell should Israel give their attackers any favours or trust after October 7th?

And it’s hilarious that Jews are seen as the occupiers. Islam is a religion that’s relitavely young. There are 55 Muslim countries…but Jews are the occupiers? Sure

Which brings me back to an earlier point, there are 5 million Palestinians, if Israel manages to kill and/or remove them all from Gaza and the West Bank, I think in future years historians will call it another holocaust.

I don’t think maths is your strong suit mate.

And no it’s not another Holocaust. It’s deeply offensive to call it that - just stop it. It’s a war. Like many other wars. I don’t remember Jews in the 1930’s kicking Germans out a territory, arming themselves as a terrorist group then bombing, murdering, raping and kidnapping German men women and children. Do you??

I’ll ask again - are the Jewish women raped on October 7th liars? You implied they are.

And what did you expect Jews to do after WW2? Hang around to get killed like their families? What would YOU do?

And answer me this a do you tell British Muslims that they’ve no right to rape 9 year olds girls in Iraq?? Why not. You told me I shouldn’t be terrorising Palestinians. Even though I am not Israeli

Look - support Palestians, I don’t care if people do or not. But have the respect to don’t without being antisemitic. I’ve offered to explain what antisemitism is - you haven’t taken me up on that offer. Why not?

And answer me - did those a Jewish woman lie about being raped? You seem to think so

When again you’ve swallowed the same lies Germans swallowed about Jews being conspirators, liars, crooked, in control of the world and out to get everyone. So I don’t expect much intelligence. How embarrassing you’ve fallen for actual Nazi propoganda

Well said @FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods
