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.

If you don’t go, you can’t know and won’t know - or listen even I’ve found, don’t worry about this Cheeks.

However, I’m just getting ready to go with SUTR as part of the counter protest to Tommeh - he shouldn’t have chosen this day for sure - but solidarity sister.

It’s time the pro-Palestine marches were made static.
The was is over, they lost.
There was no genocide, and there is currently a ceasefire.

A ceasefire?? The war is over???! Palestinians are being killed every single day in Gaza stop talking bollocks! More and more organisations are calling what has happened there a genocide. You sound pretty ignorant of the situation.

You are welcome to your opinion.
How have the marches changed ANYTHING for people in Gaza?
They have done sweet FA
Now they are simply antisemitism.

And, there is no genocide.

There are two UNited Nations reports on the genocide which you should look up. Written by people who are far more qualified than you or I to decide what constitutes a genocide.

“Anatomy of a genocide” 2024
”Gaza genocide: A collective crime” 2025

Have you ever been called to examine the evidence for a potential genocide? I suspect not.

The matches are to raise awareness of the ongoing situation, and to attempt to pressure our Government to take action. Perhaps you are too young to remember the anti apartheid marches?

Both should be banned. I’m tired of the aggro and costs involved with these pointless protests, where 2 sides can just yell at, and threaten, each other. 🤬

The United Nations are hardly unbiased now are they? UNWRA famously colluded with Hamas.

There is no genocide, no matter how hard the narrative is pushed.

There IS a ceasefire in effect. It’s a shame Hamas are not respecting it.

No one is changing opinions on Gaza.

The marches need to stop.

They hold a huge banner saying "The Jewish Bloc for Palestine". They hold signs saying things like "Jews against Genocide".

They wear their kippah and carry signs identifying themselves and their opposition to the genocide and are an important part of the Marches.

That might blow your mind. If you look online, you will see many photos of this.

But as you know, the UN as an organisation have said that they are not qualified to say whether it’s genocide or not as this can only be determined by an international court.

The court case filed by South Africa is ongoing and unlikely to reach a decision for several years due to the complexity of the case.

I suspect a lot of people think the Jewish people on the Palestine support marches just aren’t “Jewish enough” or “truly Jewish” or some such bollocks 🙄 because the idea of Jewish people recognising that Israel has behaved atrociously is incomprehensible to some.

This. With bells on

There's a huge difference between thinking that Israel has behaved atrociously, and calling for its destruction which seems to be a feature of the marches.

There was no genocide. How can you actually type that.

Now you are the one spouting rubbish.

Any comment to make about the man saying he will behead every Jew?

There was a protest on 8 October 2023 supporting Hamas' actions.

If only the world was that black and white. What about Hamas? They’re still refusing to disarm.

Apparently not. But as so many of them cover their faces ...

The man saying he will behead every Jew had his face well and truly on show. I'm sure if the police wanted to they could locate him. Hmm

He should be saying that about Hamas.

Because it's true.

I never know why the ICJ is held up as conclusive evidence of a genocide when the jury is still out.

Yes it's interesting that he hasn't yet been arrested. Two tier policing again?

Why shouldn't he choose this day? His protests are always countered.

I think they’re Jewish. That doesn’t mean they represent me. Telling me I should feel something because another Jewish person feels that is a bizarre take. Just like I said above, I don’t stand with the actions of all white people or all women or all people living in Edinburgh either. I only represent myself. I have no doubt there are Jewish people on the marches. They are welcome to do what their conscience tells them to do.

I don’t have to agree with them because we are the same religion. Any more than any Muslim person needs to agree with the Taliban. You’re making a very strange argument here.

I think the white people in the KKK are wrong. I think the Scottish people marching in far right protests are wrong. And I think the Jewish people marching in the Palestinian marches are wrong. I don’t have to agree with any of that to justify my opinion or my existence.
