OP, since you don't have an AIBU question

Could you at least tell us what standing with the Jewish community involves?

What are you doing for them to make a difference?

Why would anyone be annoyed? You're entitled to your opinion. Lots of us support Jewish people, also support Palestinians. We just want the conflict to stop and for them to peacefully coexist.

If you support Palestinians I am sure you will be thrilled at Trump’s peace deal 🙏

You need to virtue signal on MN to sleep? How sad.

Ah I remember your username now.

Its interesting some of the responses on here.

When a thread is started about standing with Palestinians, I dont recall snidey or snipey remarks like 'I'll update the spreadsheet' and 'cool'.

Anyway, its time to focus on the ceasefire and hope that plans move forward for releases and calm. Aid will be making its way through to those suffering in Gaza. Support should be shown also for Jewish people in this country to live safe lives.

First two answers prove my point beautifully.

Cheers.

What point do they prove? I genuinely meant it when I said who cares who you support - it's 100% your choice and your business.

Why are you trying (‘trying’ being the operative word) to be clever?

I stand with them in my thoughts; I try to tell them on here.

if you want to mock that then that’s up to you.

Mumsnet is a place where people express their views and opinions.

Are you new to the forum?

I'm not 'mocking' anything.

You're one of 8 million anonymous MNetters and you've started a thread to assure us all you're not a bot.

I'm not sure what you're up to here in AIBU, unless you just want to kick off a Friday night row.

You seem to want a fight, now there is a ceasefire @sunflower1022.Confused A bit ironic really.

Ok, I’ll bow out now.

This is most certainly not what I wanted.

Oh yes because MN is so supportive of Pro Palestinans! (Useful idiots/virtue signalers are among some of the many names etc ) In fact I would say the vitriol towards anyone who would start a thread like that would be off the chart so your first point is completely false.

OP I don't understand why you would start this thread. The Jewish community has suffered greatly and it would be seen that anti semitism has risen hugely (no more than in the light of the recent tragedy). Starting a thread with a title like that is only looking for an inflammatory pile on that will lead to more negativity and a reason for anyone semites to post .

Moving forward has never been more important.

LooneyLiberalSpaceWaster · 10/10/2025 18:20

It's not a bloody football match, and your not obliged to pick a side.

These threads are getting absurd now.

Ok can I update the spreadsheet?

I think it keeps crashing as the ‘anti-Semitic’ tab is millions of rows long now people aren’t hiding it anymore. You might need to create a database seeing as you’re so into it.

Goldenbear · 10/10/2025 18:30

sunflower1022 · 10/10/2025 17:47

Posters have said there has been an influx of ‘pro Israel’ posts recently, which is apparently part of Netanyahu’s great plan 🙄

I can assure you I’m not a bot; I am a German who is married to a Brit and lives in the UK (for now),

As an aside, I was sad to learn of the death of Rochelle Majer Krich last month, an author whose novels I enjoyed when I was younger.

Why are you conflating British Jewish people with Israel? Are you Jewish?

While I do get your general point, I would say that it does seem to be that a pro-Palestinian stance is the more morally accepted one right now. Most Jewish people feel they have to be very careful right now. Physically and online. I too just wish the whole thing would stop, as I think most of us do.

I don’t think they prove your point unless we understand what your point is.

I’m afraid I don’t.

I’m sure the local Jewish Centre or Synagogue would warmly welcome your standing with the community there too. But you won’t go there and offer your support will you?

FFS!

Don’t be so snippy. The poster was asking you a really good question.

I think a lot of people want to know the same.

I stand with all people ( apart from Trump and Putin and Natanayhu) regardless of religion. It’s just Israel I don’t stand with. You can separate the country/government from the religion you know. It is allowed and I know plenty of Jewish people who think the same way.
