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.

I've already listed stories about previous marches.

How about this forthcoming one....

You're using Trevor Phillips as an example, the man who's best man was Peter Mandelson....laughable.

@PurpleThistle7 no you're wrong, 100s of Jewish people join these Marches. I will take a photo tomorrow and prove it to you. Have you been on any of the Marches or you're just another person who thinks they know what happens on these Marches?

You've listed 'stories' I want you to show me the actual route of the March that deliberately targets synagogues because that's your claim.

Tell me, have you been on one of the Marches? Because it seems like you're making ridiculous assumptions from ignorance.

The organisers of the marches are banned in the Middle East for their terrorist links and have direct links to Hamas. Another organiser is an ex-Hamas chief who lives in London.

It doesn't matter who goes on the marches. More women than men voted to abolish reproductive rights in the US. The marches are not promoting peace, they support terror and march to destroy the Jewish state because it is the Jewish state. They don't constantly attack Jordan, which was established at the same time and displaced more people and has harsher restrictions.

Try reading the thread, they are there. Also the forthcoming march

I've disregarded it because I have been on the Marches personally and I do not believe or agree with what he has said. Do you go along with everything anyone in power tells you?

Awful isn't it, yet here they are causing fear and misery in the UK.

That explains why none of them ever protest Hamas on their marches. So really, the marches are not about peace, never were about peace, they are just an antisemitic bunch of racist bigots and terrorist supporters.

Can you name the organisers of the Marches who have been banned?

And if you're going to tell me that Israel banned them or named them as a "Hamas operative", please spare me.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign scrambled to organise a march while the October 7th massacre was ongoing so I can well believe that they are sort of disingenuous little shits who would organise a march in, as they put it, the 'broad vicinity' of a synagogue and then say 'oh but that's not our intention, we're really aiming to march to X place and the synagogue just happens to be on the way' <innocent face> and expect people to believe them.

"whataboutery" at its finest

Absolute rubbish.

Muhammad Kathem Sawalha

Zaher Birawi

My family are Middle Eastern immigrants. There are no words for people like you who think they're so clever eye rolling and defending fundamentalist terrorism.

How did I know you'd say Zaher Birawi?

Muhammad Kathem Sawalha - prove this? And please don't give me an article from the Daily Mail.

The reason Israel is constantly attacked is because it is the Jewish state. That is the simple fact. Hamas has a written mandate for its destruction and the destruction of the Jewish people. Israel can either allow itself to be destroyed, or retaliate - which the attackers use to justify the attacks.

Israel claims Zaher is a member of Hamas just like they do most Palestinians, even babies.

Because he was identified as a British security threat?

From his Wikipedia page - Mohammad Kathem Rashid Maruf Sawalha (born 21 July 1961), also known by the name Abu Obada, is a former leader of Hamas in the West Bank.

I don't know what you think you achieve with your sneering comments. As I said, you are supporting fundamentalist terrorism. Do you think that's clever or enlightened or beneficial? Think about what you're actually standing for, for a second.

British intelligence identified him as a security threat.

If they gave the single shiniest shit about how their marches impacted on Jews they would have stopped marchers using contentious and offensive phrases years ago when valid requests and complaints were made but they didn't.

The sort of people who protest on the evening that a Jewish person was murdered outside a synagogue.

The sort of people who protest when the police ask them not to, after a Jewish person was murdered, to free up resources to protect Jews.

The sort of people whose first thought when hearing of the horrendous massacre of Israelis on October 7th was to rush to complete the admin so they could get out on the streets and wave banners about how 'resistance is justified when you're occupied'.

They are exactly the sorts of people who would try to get their marches as close to a synagogue as they could while trying to maintain 'plausible deniability'.

They are absolutely despicable.

Now that is deflection and projection if ever I saw it on here.

I was talking about a particular exchange he had with Zack Polanski and people’s reactions to it. Nothing to do with Mandelson.

And do you know what I think it absolutely despicable, people who sit back and turn a blind eye to a genocide because of their racist minds.

If you can tolerate that then that's your choice but I can't.
