To think that antisemitism now needs to be tackled in the strongest possible way?

[LucyWestenra]

The Bondi thread in chat was eye opening.

Forty pages and a lot of it whataboutery, excuses and vile antisemitism.

It’s disgusting.

It needs to be called out. It needs to be rooted out.

I feel so sorry for the Jewish communities everywhere. How can they possibly feel safe?

Protesting by saying ‘globalise the intifada’ isn’t antisemitic?

To you and anyone who thinks that Israel's response has been disproportionate: I suggest you stop to consider exactly what it looks like to wage war against an enemy which gleefully declares itself to love death more than you love life, and who have spent billions of international aid on creating a tunnel network for the exact purpose of making it impossible for you to strike them without collateral damage.

International recognition is a red herring here. The salient point is whether the state is acting on behalf of its citizens. The polling makes clear that most Palestinians supported Hamas's actions on Oct 7.

Zero relevance to the thread but you know that.

Even the children who were killed?

They aren’t just a terrorist group are they? I mean you shouldn’t negotiate with terrorists for sure but these ones are another level, a death cult who revel in their own martyrdom. Who could never be appeased because they are calling for the eradication of a race and a country. I simply don’t understand how any civilised human being could attempt to excuse them or draw parallels with the actions of Israel. I’m shocked at these threads, at the blatant antisemitism and the abject stupidity of the useful idiots who have sunk so deep into the mire of propaganda and manipulation they can’t see daylight.

The only person saying that over and over is you. You won't be able to find a single instance of me or anyone else on this thread saying that protesting Israeli actions is antisemitic. You've already been told multiple times that nobody is saying protesting Israeli actions is antisemitic. You seem determined to keep it up, to the point of using a Jewish poster's profound and very personal post to once again air your personal grievance about what you think does and doesn't constitute antisemitism based on something that isn't even happening.

👏👏👏

how is it not relevant

You've made a sarcastic comment not in the spirit of the thread. Once again, you know that.

Could you spell out the relevance of Gaza to antisemitism?

This is not the thread for your post. Try the CITME board which is full of similar threads.

No, but again, I urge you to read up about what the IDF does before striking a target to try to make sure civilians have had a chance to evacuate, and consider what it means to fight an enemy which avowedly loves death more than you love life.

Can't believe your first goady post wasn't deleted. As a pp said you're now being more emboldened. Shame on MNHQ.

Not on this thread. CITME is your friend.

Yes it went on the wrong thread

It was the wrong thread

Will be interesting to see what happens

The fact the YABU vote is even in double digits shows us exactly what kind of mess we are in.
