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.

Really? I think you are wrong. Israel will support a peace plan. As we will see in the coming days I imagine.

Hamas it’s fair to say are not keen on a two state solution. They would rather ‘wipe every Jew from the planet’ so it’s probably not going to be with a Hamas government is it.

Given that you disregard the centuries of Jewish settlements in the region, and reduce an entire country down to ‘settler’ status - as if they can just be moved on at some point, it doesn’t sound to me like you have any intention of supporting long term peace.

What is your solution then? Assuming you don’t just want a continuation of mass causalities indefinitely.

Same.

Of course they are.
There are children, with limbs blown off. Mothers who can't feed their children. And you cannot see them as separate people from adult male terrorists? Really?

It's exactly this way of thinking that leads to people cutting yellow ribbons for innocent victims.

You’re putting words into my mouth now.

So you support the peace plan then?

No, I am genuinely curious as to what a long term solution looks like to you?

I’m not going to engage with someone who makes up arguments in their head.

You've donated to Palestinian charities? Which ones?

I also live in an area where these ribbons are absolutely everywhere. Every gap on every street railing, every lamppost, everywhere it can be attached, or alternatively yellow ribbon stickers all over post boxes and walls. Locally, the ribbon has been extended to show a support of Israel rather than a support for the hostages, so it’s lost its meaning.

Any house or business that has a pro-Palestine flag in their own property is named and shamed on local Facebook groups and several have been vandalised and businesses boycotted, but these ribbons are just as political and they have been left up with my local authority unable to bring them down as it gets bombarded with claims of anti-semitism.

That said, if that lady pulled down those ribbons today, then that was highly insensitive of her. Regardless of personal views, a day remembering those lost and taken is not the day to stage a protest.

I won’t engage because you have said the innocent Palestinians are Hamas, and you’ve made up some long argument of what I’ve apparently said when I havent.

FWIW I want to see Hamas removed, Gaza rebuilt and Israeli withdrawal from both Gaza and the West Bank. I’d also like to see Israel curtailed in their attacks on other nations in the surrounding region.

I don't think the argument here is that Israel is justified in its continued attacks until hamas no longer exists.

But if Israel ceased fire tomorrow (which it absolutely should btw) that won't put a stop to the tensions. The conflict will still exist while Hamas still exists.

Israel will support a peace plan. As we will see in the coming days I imagine

Pretty sure it was Israel that broke the last ceasefire…

Sorry? The motives other than 'stop this sickening genocide, and the slaughter of thousands upon thousands of women and children'?

We have local charities too, that are fundraising in our area.

After the Hamas mass murder, yes.

She is an awful human being.

And for the person uncomfortable with stickers, Fuck Hamas, they are a terrorist organisation and anyone supporting them does not reflect British values so I don’t care if someone is offended by those stickers.

Great so you do support the peace plan? We agree on that at least

On 18 March of this year? Really? I must have missed the mass murder that caused Israel to break the ceasefire.

Yes to this. ^

YANBU @AngeloMysterioso

this is the pinned post for the organisation leading the protest where I live today.

scroll through and see the posters and talks and signs I navigate daily. They do not recognise Israel, they absolutely mean exactly what I hear with their ‘river to the sea’ chant, and they have no interest in peace.

What an awful thing to say. Where as I dont agree with cutting the ribbons down maybe you should spare a thought to the children with no parents or no arms or the dead children, women and men who have been killed .Jewish ppl are not the only group who suffer hate. Ask the black community what they suffer, women, shall I go on? Muslims are also suffering hate right now but im sure you would be silent here. the world isnt about a ribbon. Its about peace for everyone.
The Israeli government and settlers have been abusing the Palestinians for many many years but you're up in arms about one person cutting some ribbons. Both sides need homes and somewhere safe to live, the Israeli government have been illegally occupying gaza and Both hamas and the Israeli government are vile and disgusting. Its all vile from both sides and has to stop.

I think what she did is disgraceful and no memorial should be defaced in that way.

All loss of civilian life due to war is a tragedy, however, the loss of civilian life after 9/11 is nowhere near as disproportionate as what is happening in Gaza.

There were an estimated 432,000 civilian deaths across Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries as a direct result of the war on terror over 20 years - less than 0.5% of the population of Iraq and Afghanistan alone.

An estimated 67,160 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza - 3.2% of the population. As a proportion of population that is six times more than were killed in the Iraq and Afghani wars and has taken place over 2 years and not 20!

There were also no British, American or other coalition politicians calling for the forcible displacement of the entire Iraqi and Afghani populations, so the two really aren't comparable!

Both sides have behaved hideously, both sides want to be rid of the other side , both sides want things their own way, both sides excuse the things they do, both sides only want a peace deal if it hugely favours them.

Honestly they have more in common than they realise!

Cutting down the ribbons is inappropriate but sometimes these things become too big and start to take a nasty tone, not sure if that is the case here. Personally i don't really like these memorials that are just basically going to become litter. Why not plant some flowers in memory?
