Jean Hachet posted this today. Men going door to door in Sheffield looking for people who aren't boycotting Israel. The man grabbed one of the women by throat and headbutted her when challenged. Feels like something out of the 1930s

@Happyjoe On the contrary, i think they'd do very well in Brighton with an israel boycott

Oh do give over.

This a a union and Green Party rep. They are going door to door asking people to boycott Israeli goods, business and services because of Gaza.

they are doing the same in Brighton and Bristol( supported by the Green MP)

the issue is they have been making notes of who agrees and who doesn’t.

brownshirts are now green shirts.

wow and they call other people
facists.

I just wanted to repost this.

I feel like I need a lot more context...

Time to get rid of religion... ban it.

This is such bllcks and Hatchet is a fantasist. The reality is that people who were canvassing were followed by the far right calling them 'Jew Hunters' - no evidence of that whatsoever.
Seems the 'free speech' lot don't like people supporting Palestine.

Plenty of Jewish people ARE NOT boycotting Israeli goods!

Is there not some law about cold calling/canvassing? Surely there are ways to stop this officially?

I wouldn't take kindly to someone chapping my door about politics, let alone a group of puffed up wanks telling me they have my address when I don't give them the answer they want. (if that's whats actually happening)

It isn't what is happening. They were taking note of people who asked not to be included in further door steps so as not to inconvenience them again the future.

So normal canvassing then?

This is why I can't do the whole politics things its so slippery too me lol (also I'm tired and ignorant on it lol)

Both can be true. Plenty are, plenty are not.

None of this is going to help either cause. Following people down the street shouting 'Jew hunter' to provoke them into reacting so you can post it on social media is not going to make people more sympathetic towards the Israeli cause, or deter antisemitism. Canvassing door-to-door for pro-Palestine support could also be viewed as intimidating. It's all just very factional and depressing.

That's how it seemed to me, too.

I'm at a loss to understand the reasoning that ends up with those opposed to the genocide in Gaza being anti-Semitic.

The Hamas action on 7/10 was an absolute outrage and I condemn it unreservedly, but the Israeli government's response has been completely disproportionate imo.

The "official" death toll, accepted by Israel, is now over 70k, but many organisations believe the actual figure is far higher, some believe by as much as 40% higher. And humanitarian organisations working in the field estimate that a third of those are children.

To put the "official" figure into context, the UK population is just nudging 70m, compared to Gaza's 2m, so 70k deaths in Gaza is the equivalent of around 2.4m in the UK.

There is nothing anti-Semitic about being opposed to the wholesale slaughter of women, children and civilians imo.

Funny how the Palestine "bbuttt the women and chilllllldren" bleats aren't out on the streets over Iran.

I understand that it might be tricky though given that the regime is both the hand that feeds Hamas, and quite happily murdering women and children at the same time.
Stick to mithering over jews, its safer.

The Hamas action on 7/10 was an absolute outrage and I condemn it unreservedly, but the Israeli government's response has been completely disproportionate imo.

What would a proportional response have been? Especially given that Hamas vowed to repeat October 7th again and again.

The firmly incel language from some posters is interesting too. 'Betas and cucks' FFS.

Yup. Just normal canvassing being blown up into something it isn't to generate clicks and provoke a little bit of Internet outrage.

Like communist Russia? Or North Korea?

Can we all just have a day off.. Mondays are bad enough ffs.

There were ways of settling this that didn't include 'reducing an entire city to rubble and starving and killing everyone living there.' It looks like Israel's solution to 7/10 is to kill everyone in Gaza and/or drive them all out. Unfortunately the Gazans don't have anywhere to go, so killing them seems to be the ongoing solution.

I fully understand the worry that Hamas wants to wipe out Israel, but honestly, it looks like Israel also wants to wipe out Gaza. And is a lot more successful at it.

Iran isn't a Western ally. We know they're bad guys.

And yes killing women and children is horrific wherever it happens.

Off-topic slightly, but can someone explain why people feel the need to "pick a side?" and why being against what Hamas did means you are pro-Israel?

I understand there is a complicated history that I don't fully understand, but in my eyes, Hamas committed an act of terror and murdered innocent citizens; Israel responded by committing genocide and murdering innocent citizens. The innocent citizens of both countries are paying the price. As far as Hamas v Israel both parties are terrorists and neither one deserves support.

True. Thousands, possibly tens of thousands killed by their own government within weeks, simply for protesting, and yet only a handful of threads about it on here (and even those fizzled out soon).

Can you elaborate on which ways? What would the best response to 7 October have been, in your opinion?

Also if Israel was intent on wiping out Gazans, they've failed miserably at it. It's not for want of high tech weaponry, so I can only conclude that has never been their intent at all, and it's yet more blood libel.

I’d take anything “Jean” and her far right girlfriend say or do with a massive pinch of salt. They are professional shit stirrers.
