To be utterly disgusted by the woman cutting down yellow ribbons commemorating the October 7th victims in Muswell Hill yesterday morning

When Jewish people are being attacked and murdered on their way to synagogue on Yom Kippur

When you literally can’t move or look in any direction without Palestine Palestine Palestine in our faces

On the eve of the anniversary of the worst atrocity committed against Jewish people since the Holocaust, a small, unobtrusive memorial for the victims of that unthinkable, barbaric attack was destroyed yesterday by a despicable woman who turned up with scissors and cut the ribbons down, one by one.

Ribbons for women and girls who were raped and murdered.
Ribbons for babies ripped from their parents’ arms and slaughtered.
Ribbons for men beaten to death.
Ribbons for the hostages still suffering every moment.

And this disgusting individual took it upon herself to come along with a pair of scissors and cut each one away. Her excuse? They “condone genocide”.

Let’s not pretend for a moment that that was her true motivation. It was a revolting demonstration of the antisemitism that has become so shamefully rife in this country that it sickens me.

This woman needs to be named and shamed for the loathsome person she is.

The sainted ribbon-cutter has a sympathetic interview up on the BBC today and also the Times in which she attempts to justify herself. Friends in high places? And tells some quite obvious porkies,like not knowing what anniversary it was. And saying "we only ever hear about their lives mattering, nobody else's". Really, Nadia? Who is "we?"

I found that pretty shocking. She defiled a memorial and then got a nice soft BBC interview where she was allowed to justify why she did it.

Quite. To be fair, the Times isn't especially sympathetic, but the Beeb certainly is.

Yeah, we only ever hear about them but she doesn’t know it’s October 7th? Riiiight.

Exactly. And, you know, yellow ribbons tied to a fence are SO so "intimidating" and threatening, aren't they? It's definitely why you have to go around with scissors in your bag calmly snipping them off, how else could you possibly defend yourself from your absolute terror of Jews kidnapped by your idols being remembered "ribbons"?

Ridiculous for the BBC to give this pathetic hate-addled whiner any space whatsoever.

AzurePanda · 15/10/2025 10:32

Surely this is the only imaginable circumstance in which a person who has destroyed a memorial to a minority is then sympathetically interviewed by the BBC.

CruCru · 15/10/2025 17:30

It’s getting to the point where I’m weirded out by how much attention this woman is getting. There have been five separate articles about her in the Times (not including the ones when they didn’t know her name).

Other right wing thugs are given a lot of media attention, Tommy Robinson one of them at least. Are you weirded out by the amount of attention he gets?

She's hardly a right wing thug.
Arguably, left wing ribbon snipper.

Left wing?

People that are pro Palestine and terrorist regimes and extremist states are right wing. Most Muslim states are right wing.

Rightly or wrongly, Tommy Robinson has a pretty huge following and has recently led a demonstration at the Houses of Parliament. This is some woman in Muswell Hill who appears to have done nothing very interesting except cut down some ribbons. Even if she is offering to speak to papers (because a load of people around her are avoiding her), why are they agreeing to interview her?

No she hasnt done anything interesting, more abhorrent. Like he is.

Cut from the same cloth. No pun intended

Im glad theres attention on it. Her behaviour is shameful. As is those who minimise her.

CruCru · 15/10/2025 21:15

Perhaps I haven’t made myself clear - I am really appalled by this woman (as I am by those who tore down posters of hostages). But there’s so much I see on the pro Palestine campaign that I am appalled by - so why this woman in particular? Is it that she does a wanky PHD? Or that her husband is an unemployed clown?

Timeforabitofpeace · 15/10/2025 22:34

A lot of the rage against the support for Palestinian marchers is bollocks. I would not dream of cutting down ribbons for the poor Israeli hostages, or posters. I would try to stop others doing so. That doesn’t stop me having huge sympathy for Palestinians, and hating the behaviour of the Israeli regime.

AzurePanda · 16/10/2025 08:33

@Timeforabitofpeace The pro Palestinian marches are full of hate.

As he should actually. I hate him and I hate Netanyahu too. But let's face it, there is no president who would have put Netanyahu in his place the way Trump did. Because he IS nuts and would be perfectly happy to do crazy shit that no other President would do.

I wonder what he said to him, or what the deal was?

CruCru · 16/10/2025 11:37

I don’t know (obviously) but I suspect that he:

  • told Hamas that unless they returned the hostages and laid down arms, he would bomb Gaza until nothing was left; and
  • told Israel that unless there was a ceasefire and some Palestinian prisoners were returned, he would withdraw all US support (and bomb Gaza, killing the hostages).
Both would have believed him because he meant it at the time.
SaratogaFilly · 16/10/2025 13:41

I imagined the same @CruCru

Skodacool · 16/10/2025 13:43

It was the Arab states that put pressure on the US to restrain Netanyahu after Israel bombed Qatar on 9 September. The Arab states questioned the value of their alliances with the US given that Israel depends on US support. Trump is trying to take all the credit but he acted under pressure. He could have ended the fighting long ago.

I think with Hamas, Qatar and Turkey had had enough as well as they are the ones who can put pressure on their pals in Hamas.

what did "the Jews" do?
Honestly, no one cares what an anti semite thinks.

This is not simply what I think; my comment is based on information gained from a well-regarded and respected columnist in the i newspaper so you’d better call them anti semitic. Your comments add very little in terms of helpful debate. You seem to be spending a lot of time waiting to pounce on every post that I make.

@AzurePanda there are political forces which would prefer us to believe so. I don’t.
