I don’t think anything could be worse than the sickening atrocities that hamas carried out on October 7th, particularly to women and babies/children. It’s the stuff of nightmares.

People attempting to justify terrorism and mass murder in the U.K. on social media should at the very least have their universal credit withdrawn permanently

I accept a word can have more than one meaning but please don't pretend that "struggle" can't and doesn't mean holy war to some people.

Hatred is already here .

You have to wonder if his treatment depended on your religion . I wouldn’t want to be Jewish with him as my Dr .

So the general consensus on this thread is add oil to fire to increase the flames or extinguish the flames?

Makes no difference. We took them in, gave them refuge and the father turns out to be a Hamas supporter and his son an actual terrorist. That's what we got in return

Well appeasement and bending over backwards hasn’t worked. We don’t have to live like this.

We're a liberal democracy. We're incapable of doing that.

I have close catholic friends and family members by marriage. My Dad's side of the family was Irish catholic on my Grandma's side.

I have lived with 3 Italians and found them to be incredibly defensive on the matter.

I also have close Muslim friends and have lived in high population Muslim areas, taught in schools with a lot of Muslim kids etc.

So yes, I get to have an opinion, same as you.

It’s not over. I think it’s clear change is coming.

What a son this father had ..yesterdays attack plus said son being on bail for a rape allegation. Our country does not need this type of shit inhabiting it period.

The lesson neoliberals don’t want to hear nor learn is these people come here and instead of changing their beliefs, they import their beliefs and culture and teach their kids the same. The idea that somehow they will integrate and realise that our way of living is somehow “better” is downright stupid. Unfortunately a lot of politicians still believe it. Certainly many mumsnet users believe it. Guess we will learn the hard way.

And you or certain that his choice of name was entirely innocent given his comments post October 7th. You seem to me to have a rather blinkered view of the situation.

Surely not to do this.

Here you are.

Exactly.

Proven time and again

My family are Muslim. We came here because my father loves the west and UK in particular - the music, the fashion (it was the 70s and the UK was v cool), and of course the political and religious freedom. Religion did not dominate in our house and my brother and I are both atheists. I believe we have contributed to the UK and I believe the majority of people in the UK have no issue with us being here.

somewhere along the way people who hate the west and have no intention of integrating and actually wish us harm were allowed in with no reservations and we need to have a conversation about that before it tears our society apart.

Definitely a bit of norminative determinism going on methinks.

We have ex-Hamas members living here currently, helping organise the Palestine marches since 7 Oct. It's insanity.

Why aren’t they just all being deported? If there are legal barriers then rush through emergency legislation. The government will look strong, it would be incredibly popular, I don’t understand why they aren’t rolling their sleeves up and getting on with it?

Yep. Muhammad Suwalha is a former Hamas chief, organised the Armistice Day hate march, has six children and lives in a London council house.
