Video of a kind man supporting his Muslim neighbour. AIBU to be horrified that this is where we’re at right now?

I guess it may be fake, but there’s no reason to think it would be.
So many threads on here about the flags and the March etc. Lots of posters saying it’s ridiculous that these things are seen as far right, racist or racist.
The exchange in this clip could have been straight out of Germany in the 1930s.

How the hell did it come to this?

I don’t know the context, but I shudder to think of the comments on the Facebook post.

The context is the person living in the house films content farming videos, ring doorbell ones, this man appears a lot in them going back a couple of years they range from feel good like this one of a neighbour trying to do a good thing, to rage bait that you’d expect to see on AIBU, to sympathy ones type thing.

Did you see what the Romanian homeless man said in court?

“Before indicating each of his pleas, Mr Bold told the court: "Mark Zuckerberg is David of Israel. Prince Harry is Henry VIII."

The other two were deleted after I posted, because you have maliciously reported every post.

I’ve taken screenshots of all my posts, and what a surprise, there’s nothing racist in them.

I hope he has his mental health assessed. He’s been remanded, which is a good thing for everyone. What I want to know is how an apparently mentally ill homeless Romanian man has been radicalised.

And this is exactly what the people who sow dissent on social media want, to spread dissent and division and chaos using seemingly innocuous media.The OP posted this video here in good faith and now some posters are engaged on wars of words. I am not a conspiracy theorist - very much a moderate pragmatist - but i suspect that reason will not prevail while we let ourselves be so easily pitted against eachother. Nuance and rationality are vital right now

Exactly. Absolutely disgusting.

As if Muslim woman haven’t been spat at and abused for wearing the hijab for decades.

I agree that this wouldn’t happen in real life.

In real life, one person shares their experience, the other person acknowledges it and then shares their own.

They look like Eyam during the Plague.

Not to disagree with the sentiment, but Eyam was the antithesis of what this thread and the red crosses are demonstrating. The villagers of Eyam showed that selflessness and love of others, even in the face of death, were principles to aspire to and live by. There is no comparison between the courage of Eyam villagers and the hatred and vitriol on this thread and in society at large.

It's obviously not.

Translation - X does not reinforce my own personal opinion and therefore it's full of hatred.

If you enjoy X, you do you. I deleted my account when the racist Musk took over.

I agree. I have a very old History degree, my dissertation was about the Plague. The red crosses look the same, though. It’s done for an entirely different reason in 2025 - intimidation, marking territory, creating targets. The crosses remind me of the National Front swastikas in the 70s and 80s and yes, shopfronts in 1930s Germany. It’s not OK.

So did I, and my mental health improved as a result.

Didn't you imply earlier that you're Jewish? So you're acknowledging that you're an oppressor? Or are you one of those "good Jews" and therefore shouldn't be tarred with the same brush that you're tarring everyone else with?

Just when you thought X can’t get worse, it proves you wrong.

Yes indeed. The story of Eyam, whilst unbearably tragic, recounts of the best of humanity.

Back to 2025, and daubing red crosses on houses is appalling behaviour.

Not all Jews are going to think the same, but blaming British Jews for the genocide in Gaza (Source: United Nations, today) makes as much sense as blaming all British people for the genocide in Iraq.

So you're agreeing with me that the other poster is completely off their rocker and being antisemitic by blaming all British Jews for death and destruction in Gaza?

Why would anyone take some random video on social media as a guide to “where we’re at” as a country? My children had learnt better critical thinking skills than this by the age of 12.

Don't they always though nomas?

Many Many British Jews fear/ed that making zionism synonymous with Jews and that a rejection of zionism default antisemitic would lead to this. So no if you speak up against oppression you can't be an oppressor in that area...though of course that person might have other prejudices...around gender or race or something else...it's not impossible to be good and bad..anti oppression and oppressive

I haven’t read the full thread and I don’t like the term “off their rocker” but I know British Jews, and Israeli Jews, who oppose the genocide in Gaza.
