AIBU to compare pro-Palestine and Tommy Robinson-led protests? Both involve hatred antisemitism or racism and both end up in trouble. Two cheeks of the same ass as I've heard on here before!

[HeyHoHenryHippy]

Pro-Palestine and Tommy Robinson-led protests this Saturday with yet again thousands of officers having to spend the day controling these protests. Surely there is a better way. Static protest or once a month for Gaza? I think Tommy's lot isn't weekly like the Gaza lot.

Antisemitism is a major problem and general racism also up. Armoured vehicles are needed now with the first time in 15 years to use them. Terror incidents have risen yet what have either of these 'protests' achieved apart from further divisions!

Stick them in separate areas and tell them to stand with their various placards and keep them there. They ave their virtue signalling and hate fuelled moments but stop annoying the rest of us and keep the costs down - it's costing millions of pounds.

£4.5million operation to police protests this weekend - that is just this one weekend. It's not like the country has money to waste!

I agree. Static protests is the way to go, before anyone pipes up about freedom of speech.

I agree too. They're both as bad as each other and I resent the fact that my city is being taken over by marches on a regular basis.

Wanting the Israeli army to stop killing children doesn't make you antisemitic. It's a view share by many Jews

Not nearly as many as you'd think.

My sister is a marcher, we/she has her roots in Africa, there's plenty to campaign for re women across Africa, but she's brainwashed. I agreed with her stance when they went out to protect Brougham Terrace and against the EDL etc, but there's no debating this with her. She is a highly professional career woman, now in her 60s. We've had to pick her up from hospitals from around the country, after being injured on marches. She won't discuss why her and her friends don't march for the issues in this country.

No one suggested being anti war makes you antisemitic, just the horrible hatred in the songs the Pro Pal lot sing 'Globalise the Intifada' is hate filled.

Marching week in and week out immediately after a huge terrorist attack against young people at a festival and families on a Kibutz?

Hamas are still in charge of Gaza so the marches haven't helped free Palestinians in Gaza from terrorist government?

Terror attacks in the UK on nnocent Jewish people. Exactly why do pro pal need to march past Jewish areas?

You can say that about a lot of issues, wanting women to be able to use contraception, or have control over their bodies, or wanting them to have freedoms, not having to be covered, wanting no child marriage doesn't make you Islamophobic.

Why they don't do this. Keep them completely separate. Still stand around with their megaphones. It's not like it actually makes a different.

Would be better saving the money for something more useful that actually helps people.

Even the Metropolitan Polica are acknowledging the ProPal marches are hate marches.
"We have routinely seen arrests for racially and religiously aggravated public order offences, for stirring up racial hatred and for supporting terrorist organisations. It is not normal to see criminality of this nature or on this scale at what are billed as peaceful protests.
"We have had to intervene to change the route for 21 out of the 33 protests. On 17 of those occasions that intervention was necessary to protect Jewish communities because the organisers were trying to assemble near, march past or finish near synagogues. These marches always take place on Saturdays which is the Jewish holy day, when Jews are attending religious services. This only adds to the fears already being felt.
"These persistent attempts to assemble and march in this way, together with the prevalence of hate crime and support for terrorism, has led many Jewish Londoners to feel intimidated and afraid of these protests."

WHY? Do you actually feel making Jewish people here have to listen to antisemitism, march past their synagogues ACTUALLY helps the people of Palestine? Seriously! Lame, it's just a way to spread hate.

God there are some silly threads on this website.

Just to point out that Tommy Robinson isn't anti Semitic he's anti Muslim. The EDF had Hindu, Jewish and Sikh groups.

The pro Palestine marchers are often uneducated about espouse anti Semitic views without realising they are exactly the same views that Hitler had is rather pathetic to be honest and the level of violence displayed by some of them is disgusting.

Thank you!

some sense at last

Let them march.
On either end of salisbury plain.

YABU. Pro-Palestine marches are against the Israeli government’s action and our support of that.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is trying to sow division in this nation to benefit Russia. Not the same at all.

I always thought they should have done something similar with football hooligans, put them in a field and let them fight it out

You don't have to read them. Just scroll past.

At a time when Netanyahu is buying influencers to make pro-Israel posts on Instagram and Facebook, I don’t think we should be stopping the right for people to make peaceful protests.

Agreed. Every day.

All with over-long titles too.

I mean - the people marching for Palestine are doing so to stop innocent people being killed by the Israeli government? The conditions there are heartbreaking for anyone to see, and have been for a long time.

Tommy Robinsons lot are wanting to stop multiculturalism in the UK

Yabu, they arent remotely the same.

Could you provide actual proof of what you are accusing Netanyahu of?
The reason that people are pro Israel on Insta and FB is because they support Israel, just as other people (influencers paid for by Iran?) support Gaza.

Meanwhile nobody is saying 'stopping the right for people to make peaceful protests'. The suggestion is to make them static therefore not clogging up central London constantly at weekends.

So scroll past and don't waste your time commenting.

Equally you can scroll past those comments.
