Nearly 500 arrested for support for Palestinian Action Group a proscribed terrorist organisation

This is getting ridiculous. The same group, think they can do what they want which includes, using a sledgehammer to attack a person, breaking into a military base and causing millions of pounds worth of damage. Hatred towards Jewish people.

It appears these people feel the law doesn't apply to them. None of the above is peaceful protest. Stronger sentences or fines are needed.

There was a ceasefire in force, which Hamas unambiguously broke.

Really? I would look a bit further if I were you

LadyPiglet · 05/10/2025 17:54

Ok, those of you who dispute that "Hamas started it", or claim that those of opposed to the marches taking place this weekend:

How do you propose that Israel defend itself and its civilian population against a terrorist death cult which has embedded itself amongst the civilian population, and who is supported by a large percentage of that population?

Or do you consider that Israel should not defend itself?

How would you feel if your own government did not seek to defend you against atrocities equivalent to those on October 7th?

And what would you have the UK government actually do about it?

What, specifically, are you marching for this weekend? Or why, specifically, do you support those who do march?

I'm not interested in "we are marching for peace" or "ceasfire now" because if wishes were horses, we'd all ride home. Enough of the slogans.

What do you want Israel to do and why do you say that marches in the UK, taking up an extraordinary amount of policing resource and public funds, are a good way of achieving it two days after a terrorist attack at a synagogue and after the Home Sec and the Met have asked the march organisers to desist?

@SomethingFunyou need to report that to Mumsnet. They are normally very receptive.

Firealarm1414 · 05/10/2025 10:28

Honestly I think the current "anti genocide" movement is on a par with a moral panic at this point. You're literally the latest iteration of anti jewish propaganda and you can't even see it because you're so caught up in the self righteousness of it all. Its a war. Its not a genocide. Any war is awful and I hope it stops soon. There is a deal that could lead to this but none of the protestors are calling for hamas to accept, which says it all. Even if it did lead to a ceasefire, there will probably still be marches every weekend because for those people, its not really about the war ending and I doubt they'll be able to let go of their dopamine fix of "being on the right side of history". Something tells me they won't just switch to one of the other actual genocides taking place, but will continue on with the anti israel crusade until the next current thing happens.

Agree.

LadyPiglet · 05/10/2025 18:00

And please do bother answering.

I'd really like to know.

And even if you doubt my existence I'm sure others would too.

I would really like to hear your answer to @LadyPiglet too. Can you not give it? (I’m not a bot either fyi)

Why is there no point? It's a genuine question.

If you checked my posting history, you'd see that I'm a lawyer who wants style tips having recently gained a lot of weight, and that I have thoughts on possible offences commited by social workers who attend the "weddings" of 15 year old girls.

So it would disprove your thesis that I'm a "bot".

Unless by "bot" you mean something slightly different from its normal meaning.

And children have been murdered in Palestine for the two years since - is that not awful?

Edited

You don't appear to be awfully intelligent.

I don't say that lightly because I don't want to be rude, but it's true.

You can think that more than one thing is awful. You don't have to pick a side based on what you think tips the scales in terms of awfulness. You don't have to counter every statement and opinion other people make with "Yeah but this is WORSE and YOU DON'T CARE".

You keep using the word "murder" but you're not engaging on an intellectual, rational level with any of the questions people are asking you, such as do you consider all deaths in a war situation to be "murder" and do you therefore regard all soldiers in the history of warfare murderers (given that sadly civilians always die in war situations)? Do you regard the Ukrainian soldiers, for example, who might shell a Russian target and children die as a result, as "murderers"?

Someone said earlier this reminds them of the trans "no debate" debate. It does me too.

My advice on the weight issue -go on a diet
And whilst cutting down on what you eat, stop devouring and then regurgitating so much right wing propaganda

Did you read my earlier post?

How would you expect Israel to defend itself?

Or do you not think it should?

Cantspeakwontspeak · 05/10/2025 18:16

Why won’t anyone who is so Pro Palestine answer the perfectly reasonable questions posed above.
Let’s say - Wales has stated its main aim is to wipe out England and all English people across the world. Then one day wales invades England goes to Glastonbury - kills 200,000 people (relatively proportionate as Israel is tiny in size and population to England) and then kills a load of peaceful communities in nearby villages. What would you expect England to do?
