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?

None of the marchers I know have an issue with Israel existing, though I am sure some do. If 91 percent of marchers would like a two state solution are you prepared to stop saying that the marchers are antisemitic?

What the actual f* are the comments on here? Hundreds of thousands of children have died in Gaza since October 7th 2023 and people are well within their rights to continue protesting. Yes what happened in Manchester was absolutely sickening and NO ONE deserves to die just because of where they are from but COME ON their is a genocide happening here!!!!

We have the right to peaceful protest and freedom of speech, regardless of how you feel about the cause, so marches should go ahead.
Trying to use hate incidents to shut down freedom of expression is disgraceful.

My friend had to come through Brighton station and make her way through the march as it was leaving the station and walking towards the clock tower.

She says people were gleeful and some were dancing. Fucking horrifying. I have no reason not to believe her.

Trying to use hate incidents to shut down freedom of expression is disgraceful.

I really don't think that's what the government is doing. Plus postponing a march doesn't mean people can't express themselves.

According to the BBC, the Manchester perpetrator is from Syria, not Palestine.

Look back further in the posters comments, she is talking about the marches in general, not just this weekend.

I will be marching for palestine. In fact reading this sort of post makes me feel people need to make a stand more than ever. Israels actions are the cause of the increased antisemitism.

100% this

what about Ari and Kfir Bibas? None of these thousands of children would be dead if Hamas didn't attack on October 7.

Anything factual in the news
Any evidence on social media

Ive been looking and I see absolutely nothing on this

All I see is lots of posts of people leaving children’s shoes at the installation.

true though. We can only deal with the terrorism problem if we accept it for what it is. Islam has a major problem with extremism.

But it’s my human rights to go on a protest to support a terrorist organisation… boo bloody hoo.

as several said to David lammy today… shame on you - and starmer and khan and everyone who has forgotten British values.

I really feel these marches should not go ahead after what has happened in Manchester . It makes me angry to see people keep going on about free Palestine it’s never been free for woman or people who are gay it’s under Hamas rule, wake up, half of you on these free Palestine marches would be locked up or worse.

100% this

If this event had been against some other races, there would be rioting and looting.

the Jewish community have been very dignified at an awful time.

I enjoyed the new version of the chant from an Arab comedian I saw which went:-
'“Folks, we need to stop using the chant from the River to Sea. Palestine will be free. You are asking to wipe out the whole of Israel. And that is anti-Semitic. Instead what you should say is: from the east bank of the Jordan River, including Jenin and the Jenin refugee camp, Tulkarm and Nablus, Nablus until the first checkpoint, and if they let you pass, skip Israeli cities, Qalqilya, Fasa until the next checkpoint advance through Palestinian cities, until the end of the West Bank. Ramalah, East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Efrat, and Hebron, refugee camps like Aida and Dheyste, skipping all of Israel, then you go all the way to Gaza, bordering cities that you won't pass through, Sredrot, Ashkelon, Netviot and Ashdod, progressing through Gaza City, and Khan Younis until the Mediterranean Sea, Palestine will be free! This is not anti-semitic, just make sure to exclude the illegal Israeli settlements”

Then act like it. Calling whataboutism isn’t a comment on the political situation, but rather the person who appears to be weaponising it as a means to discredit, distract or silence from another. What’s distasteful is actually doing as I accused i.e. bringing the situation up disingenuously.

There are current protests for Sudan and DR Congo, and if Nigeria is an interest of yours I can name some accounts to follow for people speaking up against the regime there and you can show support.

So 50% have negative views on gay people - you think that is an OK statistic?

💐

If a Muslim child was gay for 50% that wouldn’t be OK for them?

Thank you - you have educated me. You have educated me in some very alarming statistics. I can’t believe you seem to be proud of these!

Oh well, as long as there's a clear cause for it, anti semitism is all good then, eh? The level of argument is precisely what I would expect of old lefties under the sway of social media. Tell me about all the other genocides you have protested against? Tell me why you insist on your freedom to defend a ruling terrorist organisation which permits its own people precisely zero freedom?

If the pro-pal marchers were decent people they would postpone it (not like it's going to make a blind bit of difference to tbe situation in the middle east, the whole thing is just vanity posturing for losers or the simple minded without anything better to do. If they really want to help, train up and go and help, don't stand in central London shouting antisemitic slogans holding your costa, I'm embarrassed for them)

The marches will go ahead, which is probably a good thing for those of us who see them for what they really are, as it's tasteless and thoughtless and will turn even more of the normal free thinking public against them. Think they should ban facecoverings though so employers or potential employers, can see them

You can dislike the man and dislike his murder you know.
