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?

This forum is heavily pro Israel already, so this post is so redundant

I don’t know about your daughter’s ex friend and I’m very sorry your daughter had to put up with that, but just to clarify that Ireland as a country absolutely does not support Hamas in any way and were absolutely horrified by the actions of Oct 7th. And by the attack at Bondi beach recently too.

Shame antisemitism isn't redundant, isn't it?

PP did imply that Ireland alone was facing criticism from the Israeli government.
I was responding to that.

Why are you even posting?

You have nothing to add to the debate.

This thread IS NOT ABOUT ISRAEL. it is about antisemitism here and now. HTH

Nah, I’m done being polite to people who don’t deserve it.

Who gets to keep her MN account. Shocking.

The vast majority of Irish people are not anti-semitic and do not hate the Jewish community!! Why would they?
You are spreading misinformation.

Critical of Israel’s bombing of Gazan civilians, yes, but that is a separate issue. Well, it should be, but it seems that people strategically deflect this criticism with accusations of anti-semitism.

@MNHQ Why are you allowing these posters to further disrespect and mock Jewish people?

It is.

I’m sure I remember the username from previous threads.

Yes, you're right x

I am Jewish and I find your comments reprehensible

Yes, why?

This is what I meant when I started this thread; it needs to be dealt with and stamped out.

Unambiguously. Every time.

Send a strong message that this is not ok!

You seem to have no problem conflating Jews with Israel per se. Ireland has shown her feelings when she petulantly boycotted the Eurovision. Oh well at least that's one less set of boos the Israeli entrant will have to endure.

Amazing how antisemites always pretend to be the very thing they hate. All kinds of screwed up but there you go.

well I have similar feelings about many of the posters on this thread so I’ll go now and enjoy my day.

If you really are Jewish* then I find your comments reprehensible.
*There have been posters on other threads who state that they are Jewish when they are not.

You think antisemitism should continue? Spit it out. You think antisemitism is a good thing? Let's hear you loud and clear.
