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?

He probably deserved it too, did he? 😡

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

Bingo

Have some compassion

If you're at a march you're not looking for work. Cut off all benefits to those attending marches. Simple.

Nobody is "shutting them down". What has been requested is a measure of sensitivity and empathy.
Which is clearly beyond them.

The British left care far more about the Palestinians than they do about Britain. I have nothing but goodwill towards both sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict, but I’m too busy clinging on to what is left of my own English-British identity to worry about Palestine. Mass immigration and multiculturalism have been imposed on this country and have completely destroyed our identity. Someone hung an England flag near me and a group of people tore it down. They filmed themselves doing it while a small crowd cheered. That is what the left think of me and my nation. They cheer when an England flag is torn down from a lamppost IN ENGLAND, yet they expect me to care about other nations.

Was just going to say this.

Seems there is one in Manchester every weekend, I'm sure tomorrow will be no different.

Charlie Kirk, again? No-one should be murdered for their political beliefs, no-one. Not even over-hyped, right-wing bigotted podcasters who advocated for gun ownership & public executions.
No-one. Peaceful protest, freedom of speech REAL freedom of speech are the way we should express ourselves.
Not violence, not extremism, not trying to silence people, or groups, or religions, or protesters.

Bring Jewish and Zionist are not the same things and the majority of people on the marches recognize that. What happened was awful but a bus full of children are being intentionally killed everyday in Palestine and our government is involved too. Multiple people from the UK have been kidnapped in international waters and are being held in prisons in Israel as we speak.
River to the sea is not antisemitic, it reference the physical map of Palestine.
I'd encourage the majority of the people in these comments to actually step outside their bubbles and learn about what is actually happening in Palestine

I'm altering my post. Apparently the father was an NHS surgeon but now works overseas. Although perhaps the mind could boggle at where he is working, who he is working for and what he could be up to. I guess it is another reminder that 'doctor' doesn't automatically mean 'good person.'

What was so awful, was that it was planned for Yom Kippur. What made it worse, was that they went ahead. What was unbelievable was that they didn't modify their banners and their chants.

I was countering the claim that the protest are peaceful.

40 arrest in what was a relatively small protest for London paints a different picture.

'The British left care far more about the Palestinians than they do about Britain.'

That's a sweeping statement, and also - total bullshit, if you forgive my language. Calling for an end to a genocide is hardly radical.

Someone on another thread posted a link to an NHS doctor who clearly had antisemitic views, stated very clearly, yet still was allowed to practice.

Here's something else not very radical; calling for the release of the hostages.
I've missed those placards and chants, though

Nobody is "shutting them down". What has been requested is a measure of sensitivity and empathy.

At least it shows them for what they are

So that's all protests then? All the 100s and 100s that have passed completely peacefully week in week out? Suddenly they're not peaceful because 6 people are charged with assault?

There is one every weekend in our city, has been for over a year, zero arrests, and that's despite the pro-Israeli one that happens pretty much every week the same day.

I just looked up Richard Barnard, head of Palestine Action and, quelle surprise, he headed Extinction Rebellion.

He is just a very nasty anti-establishment rabble rouser who will be onto the next cause when it suits him. Along with his pack of waste-of-space followers.

Probably pathetic Paul 65yrs old from Islington . All these white people bandwagoning ‘ the cause ‘ .

Can you post a link to the weekly pro Israeli demonstration. I haven't seen that is happening each week. Thank you.

I didn't know there were any planned for tomorrow anyway.

The Home Secretary is urging people who are planning to join pro-Palestine marches over the weekend to take a step back’ following Thursday’s terror attack in Manchester.

It comes after a central London demonstration - held to protest the Israeli navy halting a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza - erupted into a clash with police officers outside of Downing Street on Thursday evening.

The Metropolitan Police said 40 people had been arrested in the course of the protest, six of whom were arrested for assaults on police officers.

Let them march, it shows them up for what they are. The majority of British people will be sickened by it.

No, just a concerned poster asking why these protestors were dancing in the street on the same day that British Jewish people were murdered. If you don’t have anything sensible to say then get off this thread please.
