Please no pro Palestine marches tomorrow

[NototerrorismIntheUK]

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?

Any country could end up with a terrorist government a if it happened to us would
you be happy that you and your kids got blown up because of it.
your fault because terrorists got into power

wtf

free Speech is slowly being removed so no the marches shouldn’t stop - and chanting free Palestine has nothing to do with hating Jewish people

the people responsible are the Israeli government and idf

you can hate both of those organisations because of what they are doing it’s not linked to the whole of all Jewish population or even the people of Israel

There is so much wrong with what you said I don't even know where to begin.
Firstly, the flotilla were absolutely kidnapped. They were in international waters going into the Palestine waters of which Israel has no powers and the blockade of aid is literally one of the pillars of genocide they are being indicted for.

As for the colonisation, considering that Uganda and Argentina were also for consideration of the creation of a Jewish Homeland I would say the location wasn't actually the main point however it became popular to be Palestine (which is labelled as such going back hundreds of years) because it helped Britain control that area and access to other colonies like India.

As for exterminating Jews, that's a disgusting accusation and one that leads to the very awful events at the synagogue. I have spent many years of my life studying what happened to the Jewish people in Germany and elsewhere during and leading up to WW2, however I've also studied enough to know that what was happening to Palestine began in the 1800s with British involvement and then Israel began to form after the first Nakba were thousands of Palestinians were killed and buried in mass graves in displaced into refugee camps where they still exist today.

As I said in my previous comment, I would encourage to get outside your own bubble. The Israeli government have weaponised the idea of antisemitism to protect themselves and that is what is causing harm to Jewish people. Because you can control a group of people if you feed them propaganda and tell them the world is against them.

Palestinian lives are no less important than the lives of Israeli people or Jewish people or Irish or Australian or Chinese people and if you believe anything other than that then you have been fed lies, hatred and propaganda.

@Justagirl95 it's clear enough, so what's the answer.

I'm dyslexic, I do apologise!

Sure, Hamas would love a free week to murder an entire race

YABU doesn’t even cut it.

Really? My friend is very heavily involved in protests and aid work for Gaza and has been to Gaza on a few occasions. He said that he was treated with kindness and generosity, people were eager to share their cooking and their stories. The people I know who went to the West Bank say that the worst people they met were the IDF. They only had lovely things to say about Palestinians, they had no bad interactions with them.

I'd be interested to know what you are basing your comments on, your own hatred of Palestinians maybe?

No it really isn't. I genuinely don't know what you are asking. I thought i had answered you 🤷‍♀️

If you demand an answer to a question then at least make it make sense.

I think any events that require a police presence should be cancelled if extra police are needed for protection purposes

But you walking down Whitehall with a placard isn’t going to stop the genocide is it?!

There is a minority group of people who were targeted by a terrorist because of their religion yesterday! Just leave it this week and start again next week!

@Justagirl95 You said only one person died yesterday which was nothing compared to deaths in Gaza. So how many deaths in the UK at the hands of terrorists are enough for you to not minimise the deaths, 50? 500? 5000?

I’d like Starmer to speak out for once
Not a word about British citizens arrested on the Flotilla
Not a word of support and empathy for the Palestinians or their families who are living here

There is enormous outrage at the genocide in Gaza and he has been remarkably silent and unsupportive

I would have imagined this weekends protests would have been larger than others given the current situation

Many children were murdered , again, today.

They are humans and were loved.

It is important stop the genocide regardless of the poor person murdered yesterday ( and the other man shot , in error, by the police).

Your post seems to refer to Palestinians terrorists? Jews are not responsible for the IFG and Palestinian are not responsible for Hamas.

No to terrorists, yes. That is what the marches are for.

I think you might be a bit confused - its Israel who are attempting to murder an entire race (that's what a genocide is)

When did Nigeria become the new pro Israel whataboutism trump card? If you’re like the other poster who mentioned this you don’t know or give a shit about what’s going on there.

Did I? Can you quote it please.

Anti-Semitism is a form of racism that acceptable to many in the West (particularly the 33% YABU).

Disappointed that the government aren't willing to call these protests racists, but are very happy to call others that.

Exactly - Islamic terrorists slaughtering thousands of Nigerian Christians on a daily basis - but it doesn't involve Israel...so..

Should the protests all over Italy be called off too?

They have no connection to the evil hate crime in Manchester.

They are protesting the interception of flotilla. Which literally just happened.

So is it ok for them to protest in your opinion?

Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party and a prominent Jew has himself come out and called for solidarity. Whilst bombs are being dropped on children, a genocide is happening and Israel is being funded by the government everyone has a right to march.

They are two separate issues.

This is a crucial weekend for the Palestinian people and they should not be blamed for the attack on the synagogue

We do not blame all Jewish people for what’s happening in Gaza, this works both ways

@Justagirl95 I'm on the app, it's a real pain in the arse to scroll back and find comments.

If 'walking down Whitehall with a placard' is meaningless, why do you think merely postponing the anti genocide protests is important or meaningful?

Is it going to be less disrespectful to match next weekend or next month?

Should the protests all over Italy be called off too?

No

I think you’ve quoted the wrong post. I was saying in response to someone that I haven’t seen any Muslim groups come out and condemn the Manchester atrocities .

I'd imagine the quoted poster maybe once saw some Palestinians on the telly and though they had bad vibes or something.
