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.

Why have you used the flag of Israel in your message to the Jewish community?
I’m baffled by this Jewish community that does not include so many Jewish people who do not wish to be identified with this state or this flag.

I saw this on twitter. I don't have instagram so I can't quite tell if it's legit but if so, how absolutely despicable.

The fact you think this is despicable says so much about you!

Only the ‘right’ people are allowed to mourn their dead, it seems. Shame on you.

I'm puzzled about why you think this is relevant on a thread about the behaviour of people on the marches in the UK in light of the terrorist attack in Manchester.

This isn’t going to age well because any number of posters can find you evidence of groups of Israelis doing this often. Singing and chanting death to Arabs, cheering bombings, writing names on missiles.

Oh don't be ridiculous. Honouring "Palestinian Martyrs" and their "glorious resistance" on October 7th is not innocent. It's celebrating the massacre of Jews.

Trying to shame me into pretending it's reasonable isn't going to work.

@Thegreyhoundin the UK?

@noblegiraffei don’t think i
will ever forget the footage of shani louk being paraded and spat at in Gaza. Her body splayed whilst people jeered and pulled her around.

There is huge amount of footage on self worn cameras celebrating death and devastation. Terrorising people as they tried to protect their families. The Bibas family and the look on her face.

That ‘glorious resistance’. And before anyone says ‘not in the uk’ May I remind people that women were arrested before Israel entered Gaza for wearing parachute suits with pictures to a demo in London. Sooo respectful to their dead.

Oh go away

Israelis gather every year, parade through the streets and chant 'death to arabs'.

There really is no moral highground for you here.

1. The Israeli flag adopts its design from a popular design for Jewish prayer shawls. Just as many Muslim majority countries have a crescent moon on theirs.

1. What is wrong with expressing solidarity with the people of Israel?

Is no-one going to answer my questions from upthread?

I really am interested. What would you have Israel do?

And if the UK faced a similar attack to 7 October, what would you expect of your government?

These were my questions upthread

In response to your points, my question was why was this flag placed at the bottom of a message of solidarity to Jews. Jews are not all Israelis and many wish to have nothing to do with Israel, especially at present.

What is wrong with expressing solidarity with the people of Israel?

No, really. Don’t be so rude. No Jewish person I know IRL wants anything to do with this flag.

Curious as to what you know, or have asked them (and how) and the responses you have got as to the "history of this flag"

Thats not what the poster said they were doing in their message.

But you seem to think there is a problem with doing so. Is that right? If so, what is that problem?

It is not a homogenous community with people who all think the same way is my point. A large number of younger people do not feel connected to Israel in the same way as maybe older people do. I just don’t think the two things should be conflated (Israel and Judaism) in a way that views them as entirely synonymous.

It is relevant because the poster I replied to said they had not seen Jewish people dancing in the streets celebrating the deaths of Palestinian people. They did not specify in which country.

As I explained, the flag is the design of a Jewish prayer shawl.

I presume, from your response, that you haven't had (m)any conversations with "the Jewish people [you] know" about it?

Oh god it's not just the Birmingham lot with an event celebrating the 'resistance' of October 7th.

Feminists. Do they not remember Shani Louk?

I mean personally I don’t want to express solidarity with any people of Israel who would vote for Netenyahu or who would support the actions of settlers in any way or support the government actions in Gaza. Those Israelis who don’t support their current government I do feel solidarity with and for the brave protestors in Israel and the teenagers refusing to serve.

I think this was a reasonable question in the direct aftermath of October 7th. Two years on I think it is fair to answer it with 'not indiscriminately massacre women and children in efforts to get to the terrorists'. I'd also expect them to expend more effort on rescuing the hostages.
