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

[NototerrorismIntheUK]

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.

Do you distinguish in the same way with Palestinians? Just out of interest. I haven't seen you do so, but I could have overlooked.

Anyway, going back, if you accept that it's ok to express solidarity with Israeli people, and they/their flag and Netanyahu are not synonymous, why criticise sunflower for posting ir?

Feminists for Palestine is like Turkeys for Christmas.

Israel supports women's rights, including the right to bodily autonomy (pro-choice, and laws against rape that protect women), and freedom of sexuality. Women do not have these rights in Gaza.

Shani Louk was one of many women who were assaulted, raped and murdered by Hamas.

The fact that people in this country would celebrate that is utterly grotesque.

I do and I mentioned her in my message

i am not sure I should reply; it’s all getting g a bit nasty

👏 👏 👏

Choosing the 7th of October, it's just hideous.

Despite having been concerned for the plight of the Palastinians for most of my life, i have not protested. There is a sizable contingent of people at these protests that go only because it gives them opportunity to show their hatred towards Jews. This cause has attracted a huge number of otherwise disinterested individuals to it precisely because deep down they hate Jews.

And sadly many alies of the Jewish community are simply naively making Jews much less safe by denying the horrific actions of the Israeli state.

There are bad actors on both sides.

@Thegreyhoundyou do realise Jews going to Israel is at an all time high at the moment? Your statements bear no resemblance to anything or anyone I know. Like actual not pretend people. To make a point.

I dunno how societies in certain areas of the world get branded left wing - I assume it’s perhaps to do with a history of communism but it feels fairly tenuous.

I feel it’s antisemitic to find one example of a presumed Jewish person (Israeli doesn’t automatically mean Jewish) doing something and then use that as evidence against Jewish people on another continent. If there is evidence of Jewish people in the uk openly celebrating the deaths of murdered babies then show your working otherwise maybe keep your intolerance to yourself.

Regardless of Israel, there is no reason to persecute and murder British Jews. I hate seeing Israel used as a justification for this.

We need to look at what is going on in our country.

@MrsSkylerWhitein the uk? As we are talking about the UK?

That's foul and also profoundly disappointing- I didn't realise the Feminist Library had joined the ranks of the antisemitic clout chasers. How sad their global struggle for bodily autonomy and women's liberation doesn't extend to Jewish women having the right to not be violated, taken hostage and murdered in the name of "resistance". They really should rename themselves the Selective Feminist Library.

Don’t weaponise the attack to suppress protests against a genocide

the poster I was replying to didn’t specify.
Is it ok if it’s in the West Bank?

And I say that as someone who thinks the people at the marches are mostly tossers, and who finds both October 7th, and the Synagogue attack in Manchester appalling.

Don't tokenise and objectify Jews to make your point when you can't make it stand on its own merits.

I didn’t and I won’t.
But don’t weaponise the attack to suppress protests against a genocide.

Appealing to the decency of the protestors to allow police to allocate more resources to protecting the Jewish community in the wake of a terrorist attack against them made fuck-all difference didn't it?

No decency among them to appeal to.

I mean, seriously, these protestors think they are the good guys.

Good guys would have paused the protests.

I'm still not clear from this what you think Israel should do.

Or why you think it cares about the protests.

Or why you say that your tax money is funding Israel's actions.

What do you mean by "Jewish Israelis", by the way?

And to whom are you referring when you say "their supporters in the UK"?

When have those supporters espoused, collectively an ideology saying that Palestinians should be exterminated like rats?

On what evidential basis do you suggest that it is specifically a profit motive that is driving the war in Gaza?

And are you marching against these things? If so, what do your signs say, if you have any?

Sure.

I totally believe you (not),

This.

Imagine celebrating on October 7th the slaughter.

Why don’t you appeal to the govt to stop their support for a genocide then people will perhaps not feel the need to protest and Jews can have the police to feel safer if they need. Are you not concerned about what is happening in Gaza? Do you not want it to stop?

I'm not sure I follow the logic of this post.

Considering terrorist attacks on civilians to be "appalling" is baseline humanity, rather than anything particularly special. It doesn't excuse or lessen anything tendentious in your previous post.

It's illegal for gay people to get married in Israel. It's not the rainbow utopia you're making it out to be.

Israel use systemic violence toward prisoners who are arrested with no access to legal representation. Israel imprisons children, many of whom are strip searched and suffer from sexual abuse. https://www.un.org/unispal/document/report-of-the-commission-of-inquiry-israel-gender-based-violence-13march2025/

It's really not a wonderful, free, democratic society. Imagine if your children were forced into the army and subjected to the horror in Gaza.

When this is all finished and the war is over it won't be just the people of Gaza who will suffer in its aftermath.

Going back to the questions I asked, which you didn't answer. (Preferring to smear me as a bot.) What do want to achieve by marching in terms of pressure on the UK government?

It has recognised Palestine as a state. It can't very well prevent Israel from conducting a war.

What would you have our government do, that it hasn't done?

What would you have Israel do?
