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?

Well said, @Beachtastic

Best one I've just seen is an Antifa fascist proudly announcing their allegiance.

Hamas must be chuffed when they see just how many of the useful Western idiots are swallowing their propaganda hook, line and sinker.

What a time to be alive.

It is absolutely rife in academia and any left leaning institutions. It needs sorting. None of these shitty excuses that’s rolled out by the Palestinian flag waving mob. - never seen them marching about other wars where babies are dying. They’re either antisemitic or so stupid they don’t realise they’re useful idiots to evil theocracies.

You are my HEROINE 👏 💐

I have just seen something on another thread which honestly made me feel sick.

A picture of Anne Frank wearing a keffiyeh.

There are no words.

Make no mistake; if you attend those marches you are helping to facilitate this. Don’t kid yourselves.

Indeed. They can achieve their objectives much more easily this way than by military means. And it's working.

Absolutely. One of the most toxic groups going who mask up and threaten women. Just why would you want to be anywhere near that vermin! They aren't interested in equality and justice, they just want violence.

Did you report it?

Every time, we're reminded how terrible Israel is for causing civilian casualties during urban warfare. I'm not minimising civilian casualties. I know, from my own family's experiences, that the consequences knock on down the generations.

But still....

Never are we reminded that Hamas has spent 20 years preparing that urban area for warfare.
Never are we reminded that Hamas constructed miles of terror tunnels, but was somehow unable to build any air-raid shelters for civilians.
Never are we reminded that the civilians were unable to flee, because Egypt has closed the border.

Nope, as ever, EVERYTHING is Israel's fault.

But the people who cannot pull back and see that there is any sort of bigger picture are not antisemites, and never see or hear antisemitism on pro-Palestinian marches...
Despite the first marches being planned when the biggest pogrom since the Holocaust was still underway.
Despite the first marches being planned before Israel had mounted any response, other than one within the borders of the Israeli state, where civilians were being brutally murdered.
Despite the chants for 'globalise the intifada' and the banners which, in effect, call for the destruction of the world's only Jewish state.

Make it make sense.

I agree. There's one reason why antisemitism is on the rise in this country and we all know what it is but we're not allowed to call it out

You know what gets me?

During and after the Holocaust Germany was vilified, and rightly so. What happened was so truly awful that there really are no words to do it justice. I say that as a German.

But now the whole world seems to rejoice in condemning the Jewish community.

I think the antisemitism was always there, it’s just that people now feel more emboldened to be openly anti-Semitic. Unfortunately I’ve had experiences before where people have said things…you just don’t always know what’s going on behind the veneer.

Nothing more to add because its pointless. Even on here clear trolls haven't had their posts/accounts deleted. In fact, one of my posts responding to a baiter was removed and the original post remained.

I've experienced the same.

This is an echo chamber.
Listen to yourselves!

It’s not a ‘miracle’ that Israel has (only!) bombed to death 3% of the population of Gaza.

I’m out, can’t listen to this any more.
It’s not anti-semitic to be appalled at the deaths of innocent children, whatever their ethnicity.
You can think what you like.

I think there are many similarities. Gazans are not all innocent and all civilians there will also have to go through something similar to the de- Natzifictation ithat occured in Germany post WW2. That education facilities funded by UNWRA were even allowed to exist teaching hate should be another investigation. Because they contributed to this Islamist ideology.

Err hello..this is a thread about antisemitism. You bet its an echo chamber. Pick up your coat on the way out.

Happy to.
Echo chambers are so useful, aren’t they?

Yes, so off you go back to CITME.

I'm afraid I'm coming to the conclusion that the only reason people don't see this threat the way they would elsewhere is the obvious one.

I don't think there's any response to October 7, other than lie down and die, that some people would find acceptable.

Agree with all your posts OP. Useful idiots indeed. The left are being played like a fiddle. The women and LBQT types passionately supporting Hamas make me 🙄🙄

Nobody who supports Hamas, explicitly or tacitly, gives a shit about Gazans.

Of course they don't.
