Shocked by the racist signs at marches

[Pigeotto]

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.

They sound..... nice.

@noblegiraffe maybe the NHS need to be pickier about who they employ.

They didn't know, he uses a different name for political activities. They are now investigating and presumably he will be struck off.

Truly, one of your earlier links about North London was very close to me. It is awful to think anti semitism is all around me (and I write that as a Christian).

As for the GP (who again is fairly close to me too, never mind the retired Hamas man in a council house at presumably my and other tax payer expense in Barnet who is close too) I looked him up a few weeks ago on the doctor register - he seems to go by two names, but even so the NHS should be doing better checks.

I do appreciate that what hobbies people have in their spare time should not always lead to loss of their job or contract, but once they stray into supporting Hamas which is a terrorist organisation in the UK or break the law it is a different matter.

he seems to go by two names, but even so the NHS should be doing better checks.

Thinking about this, DBS checks do ask for any other names you go by, but that rather relies on the person volunteering the information.

Only 18 arrests. Sling the lot into jails.

It should be outlawed and popped on the terrorist organisation list in the UK then. Its disgusting that people can shout for this in the UK. We don't need more people becoming radicalised here.

The March Against Antisemitism has concluded.

As the crowds left along Whitehall, a man was heard to make antisemitic comments. He was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence.

In total, there were two arrests during today’s operation.

The second arrest was of Tommy Robinson - EDL. He had been warned by police in advance not to attend. Organisers had also told him they don't want him there.

Similar to on here or the other marches you can't help who shows up but you can take action to stop their hateful ways when they do. Well if you genuinely don't want their company you do that anyway

Brilliant, united march that went off very peacefully. No hatred here and in complete contrast to the Pro-Palestinian marches with no hateful chants, placards or fireworks/flares/climbing on statues.

A very good natured and peaceful march

Only what I'd expect, Jupitersstorm, but nice to see all the same

@Trulywonderful not bad considering we wondered how many would turn up and it was due to finish in a couple of hours! Took me that long to get to the law courts!

Brilliant, I'm glad it went well

"Actor Eddie Marsan questioned why some people did not condemn Hamas after its attack on Israel.

Mr Marsan, who is not religious, said: 'Following the events of October 7 there were those who rushed to condemn the destruction of Gaza and the loss of innocent life, which is completely right.

But there were many who were hesitant to acknowledge or condemn the actions of Hamas against Israel and to call for the hostages to be released.
'And when I saw this I asked a Jewish friend of mine in the film business 'why can't they do both?'

'And they said 'it's because they're afraid, because they're afraid of the backlash'.'
He also called for moderate people to 'face down extremism and bigotry'.

'Fundamentalists always scream loud to drown out the voice of reasonable people, moderate people,' he said.
'Well in my experience people aren't moderate because they're turning a blind eye to injustice, people are moderate because they can see both sides of the debate, both sides of an argument, and they can sense the greater truth.

'But I think now it's time for moderate people in this country to stand up and face down extremism and bigotry and antisemitism and Islamophobia and all forms of racism.

'So I'm here today to defend my culture, my culture is diversity and I'm proud of my culture.

'And I'm also here to stand in solidarity with my Jewish friends, the people I grew up with, the people I went to school with, the people I work with, and I tell you all you are not alone.'

Former EastEnders actress Tracy-Ann Oberman told marchers: 'We're seeing a frightening and swift rise in antisemitism, Jewish attacks on our children not being able to go to school wearing their blazers with a Jewish insignia or skullcaps, our children and ourselves advised to take off any sign of being Jewish.

'I have so many friends and neighbours and people who contact me on social media saying they will take their mezuzahs off their doors, that they feel frightened, they feel isolated and alone.
'But we are not alone. We are a successful and flourishing multi-ethnic and multi-faith capital city of a multi-ethnic and multi-faith country.

'A tolerant democracy where all racism, including racism against Jews, is not tolerated.

'We have to call out antisemitism for what it is, it is an incitement to hatred, it is an incitement to divide.'"

"Rachel Riley said in another speech: “We have seen people turn up in their tens of thousands in Berlin, in Paris, in Washington, and today it’s our turn, and there is no clearer message to send to the British Jewish community that we are not alone than this incredible sea of friendly faces.”

Riley added: “You need to know next to nothing to propagate Nazi or Soviet Jew-hating propaganda, reframed to fit today’s narrative, but you need to know nearly everything in order to combat it. The odds are stacked in the antisemite’s favour. We need to re-stack those odds.

“No one should have to risk their safety, jeopardise their career, in speaking against antisemitism in Britain. I call on the people, the media, and politicians on every side to stand with us and be louder against antisemitism. Enough is enough.”"

The largest gathering against antisemitism London had seen since the Battle of Cable Street in 1936, when hundreds of thousands of people blocked a planned march by Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists through areas home to many Jewish families.

This is how Jewish people do signs on a march 😁
