Antisemitism here in the UK is appalling.

I was once a 'Grren' no more due to the hatred Antisemitism in the party.

Jewish students work together at a table at school

Schools should recognise antisemitism as distinct form of harm, review says

The government is expected to accept all 27 recommendations made in the review by ex-Ofsted boss, Sir David Bell.

Who has enormous wealth and power?

Qatar.

Because there is a direct correlation between the acceptance of anti Israel/ anti 'Zionist' narratives encouraged by that cause and the emboldment of anti-semites.
It is not a coincidence that people supporting that cause have been recorded as pro-hamas, pro-houthi, pro-hezbollah & pro-IRGC, none of whom are acting in the best interests of those people they claim to support.

The poster is causing the entire Palestinian cause a scam.

That is quite frankly reprehensible.

And just derails the thread unnecessarily.

What do Palestinians have to do with schools in the UK? Nothing.

Why does that justify calling the Palestinians cause a scam?

News flash: calling their cause a scam IS hate.

Well, that wasn't me, so I suggest you report it to MNHQ if you think it's "hate".
What are your thoughts on pps experiences as British Jews, and the treatment of their children?

Because it's the Palestinian cause which has been weaponised for antisemitism, and fuelling attacks on the Jewish community, and in this case, the harrasment and threats school children face.
If you haven't read @PurpleThistle7's accounts, I would recommend that you do.
To add: I have seen no hate for Palestinians on here. Report it if you do.

Edited

No hatred for Palestinians that I have seen either, Empress.

Do you mean hatred for Hamas @nomas ?

They are terrorists and hardly representative of ordinary Palestinians.

Qatar giving enormous wealth and power to Palestinians? Don’t make me laugh.

No, so why do Jewish children get those chants about Palestine shouted in their faces?

I had lots of likes for that post from people who have had enough of the manipulation. If you haven't got any support to give to the thread, I'm not sure what you are trying to add.

Yes, we've said that, haven't we? Hamas don't care about ordinary Palestinians. Those poor people are pawns in their vicious Islamist plan.

I support the right for Jewish children to go to school safely and without threat.

But that doesn’t require writing off Palestinians and their cause as a scam.

Good to see Jews having their voices heard. I hope other Jewish Mumsnetters come forward to this thread and share their experiences. God knows they've been shut down for too long ❤️

This thread maoes me so happy as a Jewish person. I saw a thread on X about gas chamber jokes earlier.

Indeed. I think that's the point.

The Green party are monsters.

Iran got where they are today because they thought they were so evolved, liberal and democratic that couldn't see what was happening in their country until it was too late. Sounds familiar..

It is the exact same left-fundamentalist alliance that happened in Iran.

The fundamentalists use the language of victimhood and oppression and righteous anger to convince the left to support and work with them, then shame them for speaking out against more extreme views and behaviours. The members of the left are terrified to be cast in the same light as the 'oppressors', so they don't fight back until it is too late.

There is no public shame in denouncing Reform and the far right, but people are far less confident in confronting the same danger in the Greens and far left.

Essentially the Greens have an 'out group' (Jews, Zionists, Israelis at first) and anyone supporting them or questioning the authority are also cast into the 'out group.' This is a tale as old as time. I hope UK society takes action before it is too late.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Many of us who are not Jewish are horrified by recent events, and will speak up and speak out. The examples on here of what's happening in schools is shocking.

There's two types: the out and out antisemitic prick and the faux naive ones. We both have seen it so many times.

That Jewish children have to go to school, or Sunday school, in the equivalent of some sort of wartime bunker is disgraceful. It shouldn't be happening.

The opinion expressed that the Palestinian cause will in time become seen as a scam is one you don't agree with, fine.

But it's not the same thing as saying How is that the fault of Palestinians? in response to the question, why do Jewish children get those chants about Palestine shouted in their faces?

No one said that Palestinians are responsible for Jewish children in the UK getting chants about Palestine being shouted in their faces.

The people doing the shouting are UK antisemites, to be clear.

There has always been security on Jewish schools and synagogues it’s just so much worse now. 40 years ago King David in Liverpool regularly had bomb threats and had security permanently at the school. Antisemitism has always been under the surface with most people finding it repugnant. No with all the support for Gaza it’s allowed to show itself and garner more support. It’s horrific.
