The police and others have called out in the hope that there will be no pro Palestine marches tomorrow. They are stretched and say it will divert resources from trying to protect the Jewish people following the terrorist attack yesterday.

I agree. No march tomorrow AIBU?

I will never vote for Reform but Nigel farage’s Twitter post on this issue was the only one that made sense. 😢

I will be voting for Reform.

To the people who plan on marching tomorrow - what impact do you think your marching, specifically tomorrow, will have on Israeli policy re Palestine?

And as the Government and police have asked for no marches tomorrow, as a one-off, what impact will your marching have on public opinion in the UK?

Are you marching to further your cause, or just because you won't be told not too?

I haven’t heard any Muslim commentators condemning this . Maybe I have just missed them .

It was more than a handful of extremists that carried out the massacres on 7th October. & more than a handful of Hamas fighters & supporters who've been fighting a war dince then. A war that they started & could have ended on any day they chose to give back the civilian hostages.

Even with a peace plan supported by all the major Arab & Muslim nations, Hamas still want to carry on fighting & sacrificing the people of Gaza as collateral damage. Is this what people are marching to support on the streets of Btitaian? After yesterday, shame on you.

I don't think marches should be banned but I think the organisers should voluntarily call them off.

Is the genocide getting called off?
No?
So nor should the marches be

derxa · 03/10/2025 17:05

The people marching for Gaza have no idea how much the people they are marching for despise and hate them.

Hamas started this war. Hamas could stop this war but they would rather sacrifice their own people.
Why aren’t people out protesting against Hamas?
And no, I will not be engaging in debate with semi literate fools who don’t even have a basic understanding of the complicated issues involved.
The anti Jewish sentiment around in this country is disgraceful.If you intend to join a pro Palestine march this weekend you are showing either your true ignorance or your anti semetism.

your first so-called fact is wrong. This started long before Hammer existed learn your history.

@JollyLilacBee do you think it's an outrageous ask to not have the marches on one weekend?

I don't want the marches banned.

If all protests/marches, and other events are being cancelled, to free up police capacity to protect the Jewish community, then no, it isn’t outrageous

If it’s just the anti genocide marches, then it doesn’t sit well with me as people are being asked not to protest against the murder of innocent people, using the reason that innocent people have been murdered

Lalgarh · 03/10/2025 17:06

Protestors making hissing sounds at a woman on a march who describes herself as "visibly Jewish".

She asked what they meant, and after muttering at being challenged, a passerby told her they were mimicking the sound of a gas chamber.

This was posted by jujujud (not on here afaik) in a thread about the Tommy Robinson march. So this was on that fash march?

No. It was a pro Palestine march. And yes she tried to report it but was told there was no evidence.

And this is why a lot MORE people won't go on those marches.

This is probably exactly how Hamas wished things to play out.

I’m shocked at how taken in people can be.

marches

DrPrunesqualer · 03/10/2025 17:09

A lot of people are marching around the world because of
Israel boarding and arresting all those on the Flotilla which happened this week
and
because of Trumps deadline. Which is Sunday.

These are marches for peace and to stop the genocide and it’s important for everyone that voices are heard

Hardly. What happened yesterday is happening tenfold In Gaza.

@Justagirl95 what loss of live in the UK is enough not to be minimised?

No its terrible. But I'm going to continue to protest the genocide that's happening in Gaza.

Presumably they are putting pressure on Hamas to agree to the ceasefire....

There's a genocide happening. People have the right to express there feelings about that, regardless of what else is going on in the world.
It is possible to abhor both the murders in Manchester and the genocide happening in Gaza, simultaneously.

I do agree with this! What happened yesterday was an atrocious and evil act. What is going on in Gaza is also atrocious and evil. What happened yesterday doesn't mean we should avert our eyes to the genocide in Gaza. I'm fed up of the suggestion that they are hate marches. Plenty of Jewish people attend them too.

I can see the point of Reform when I see stuff like that.

I think we will see a bigger shift now which really worries me. Worrying times ahead.

Yes , we’ll all wait for Nige to deport them all and those with murderous intent will be gone. Then we can all rejoice .

"From the river to the sea" was actually a phrase originally coined by Netanyahu himself - it's only when Palestine supporters started using it that it became an issue and suddenly meant death to all Jews... Similarly, "intifada" just means uprising in Arabic. Heck, if I lived in a place like Gaza where occupiers banned things like pasta, weddings dresses, coriander and jam, just for fun, or where my people were routinely expelled from their homes, thrown into jail for years without charge or trial (incl. children) or downright killed, like in the West Bank (where there is no Hamas!!!), I'd want to rise up too.

Its really telling how many people don't use Instagram on here; if they did they could see the genocide being live streamed, every day. But no, let's read the Daily Mail instead.

72 years this injustice has gone on for. So, when I'm not working, I will march. I will protest. Not because I don't care about Jews, but because I believe Palestinians have the right to self determination and, more rudimentary, access to aid and medical care. Because the more war crimes Israel commits, the more conflation between anti-Zionism and antisemitism arises and the less safe Jews will feel, which is sad and wrong.

Dont make stuff up.
Netanyahu was 11 in 1960 ffs!!

"actually a phrase originally coined by Netanyahu"

In the 1960s, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) used it to call for what they saw as a "decolonized" state encompassing the entirety of Mandatory Palestine.[7] By 1969, after several revisions, the PLO used the phrase to call for a one-state solution, that would mean "one democratic secular state that would supersede the ethno-religious state of Israel".[7]
