Shocked by the racist signs at marches

Maybe I’m just severely naive but I’m honestly just shocked at the levels of racism of some of the signs at these marches. It’s just caught me really, really off guard.

Just been talking on another threadabout protests by British Jewish people at the start of the war. They protested to ask the government to help and to allow Jewish refugees because the government had blocked them

These signs and the behaviour of the protesters is an excellent example of how to stage a protest without hate speech, racism, inciting violence or antisocial behaviour. Some of the protesters currently could learn a thing or too

The thing is many of my family died fighting that war against the Nazis and were appalled at what happened to the Jewish people. I was brought up on it. But I know they would be turning in their graves at what Israel is doing.
Instilled in me has been justice, all through the lines of my family and there is no justice happening today and I feel their memory is being insulted everyday.

And I'm quite sure they'd be turning in their graves at the open anti-Semitism on the streets of London also, which is what this thread is about.

I'm sorry you are mentally unable to care about more than one thing at once, that must be hard.

They would be turning in their graves you used Nazism in reference to anything Jewish I would have thought. I mean you could refer to the Jewish State as any number of millions or words and phrases. However you chose to be antisemitisc. Anyone that thought for Britain in the war would be highly ashamed of you right at this moment!

"At the police station.

Five of my neighbours threatened to murder me when they saw my Israeli flag on the way to today’s vigil in London."

Have you listened to Israel politicians recently ? Nobody would be ashamed of me.

No antisemitism round these parts, no siree.

Of course not, my family died so Israel could murder Gaza children with impunity.

You can call the politicians whatever you like I don't care. However as most but not all are Jewish plus you were referring to the Jewish State that was antisemitism. Hence why mumsnet deleted it straight away

Just learn some history about non Jewish related horrors or even regimyou can compare Israel to now. There is plenty to go on. Also plenty of words you can use to describe what is happening. You don't have to be antisemitisc however you have chosen to be. So if you had relatives that were in the war like you say they would be horrified at your choice of words. Plus very very ashamed you don't understand why you can't say such things.

I think someone is trying to avoid us talking about some of are last posts and links

We should probably just keep posting them again if they are that worrying to some people

(I am not going to get much work done this evening am I)

@Trulywonderful No they wouldn't. They would be horrified listening to an Oxbridge educated Israeli spokesman denying children dying, denying a humanitarian crisis in Gaza whilst at the same time ( jarring juxtaposition) expressing concern for their family and friends in the UK because of the rise of anti -Semitism.

Trulywonderful · 19/11/2023 21:26

That is whataboutism

You posted something antisemitic and they would be appalled at you. No excuses or blaming it on the current situation or idiots that have upset you with their speeches. You are the one that is chose to be antisemitisc and that is hounding a thread with things off topic because you don't like us talking about antisemitism.

Seriously have you been sniffing glue or are you that much blind to your own behaviour and antisemitisc words

Silence1 · 19/11/2023 21:32

@Trulywonderful BTW I've been to Auschwitz. I've seen the children's shoes. My Polish friend said they will never forget the look etched on my face .
I'm now seeing the dead and dying children in Gaza on my news every night.

Silence1 · 19/11/2023 21:37

My final post. No they would not see me as anti Semitic. They would see Israel as a murderous racist regime and my God they would be ashamed.

Trulywonderful · 19/11/2023 21:41

I have spoken to mumsnet about this one

First time I have done that in a couple of years at least

OK will now ignore all fuckwits derailing because they don't like people knowing about antisemitism and hate crimes from some protesters etc

@Trulywonderful I find it more satisfying to ignore now. I used to think tackling their antisemitism head-on was the best approach. But they're not interested in listening anyway, and what they really, really want is a reaction. So just ignore and don't give them it.
