Why are schools allowing/enabling students to do this?
Is it part of what schools should do, promoting frankly one-sided protest? And what will they decide to march about next? Just imagine being a Jewish student in the middle of this.
I find it sinister.

@Titusgroan As an aside, I'm so glad to see Mervyn Peake reference, nobody I mention his books to have heard of him!

Love him!
You're the first one to spot that ( or at least to mention it )
But we do ‘speak’ on other threads, I have another username. Wonder if you can guess it ……. It’s more obvious 😉

@Titusgroan oooh touch a nerve did I? That's ok

@Sausagenbacon perhaps some of the students are Jewish who absolutely oppose the death and destruction Israel are unleashing on innocents. There are many Jewish people like so many others of all nationalities and creeds who want this civilisation massacre to stop. Why would you assume just because someone is Jewish that they would support Israel’s governments actions ??

@Titusgroan Haven't a clue! Respect to anyone well read, though,

Marching for a Palestinian state or the end to massacres isnt one sided though is it?
It literally brings us closer to a solution, for all.
Why shouldnt people protest the deaths of children in their 1000s, by airplanes costing 100million dollars. Israeli military occupation is a failed policy, and brought us here.
If you're going to suggest that the marches are for the eradication of Israel, then I'd suggest you've fallen into a disinformation trap.

'pearl clutching genocide deniers' Well that really works 🙄🙄

What are your demands of Hamas?

Half of the adults saying it couldn’t even answer that question! It is terrifying how easily people are led by flashy headlines and TikTok videos.

Teenagers that have been incited by adults to protest

It ends so well

I 100% do not want my DD’s school to take political stances (either ones I agree with or don’t) it’s not their place.

These two articles were posted on another thread.
It seems using children to push a cause is not unusual.
Children, it seems, are even paid to do so.

What does that have to do with children in this country skipping school?

OP said she/ he found using kids sinister.
I think my post indicates that I agree with them.

Schools should not take sides in the UK. It looks like some mosques in the UK are not being very even handed in what they preach about jews in the UK - the police are looking into it

More baiting.
Nothing to do with thread.

A couple of the organisers from the marches have previous for doing the same at mosques.

Sadly it happens sometimes. All faiths have some iffy leaders amongst them

Every thread

Should see this

Does America still have a serious covid issue.
Why the masks?
Or is this very old???
