He raises some interesting ideas.

Read my post and stop with the baiting. As I said, I’ve got a hell of a lot more to be offended about at the moment than just words. People are being murdered every hour, that’s where my headspace is right now.

I did. You said that having "A curse upon the Jews" as a slogan is not offensive ergo anti-Semitism is not offensive.

I think some people don't understand the difference between free speech and hate speech

They don't understand that free speech in the UK does not allow people to discriminate, spread hate speech or racism. That is the law in the UK and I think some people really need to start looking back over their posts on different threads especially their posts in the last 48 hours or so

Also frankly it just is very unpleasant and nasty to discriminate against others on the grounds of race, religion or nationality and we have see a lot of that. However I don't think the posts all understand that this is what they are doing. Though some definitely do understand and are enjoying getting away with it.

Yep

Come again?

No, you are doing what you always do, you are baiting and twisting words.
I can agree or disagree with a statement, or choose not to refer to it. I did not write the statement, I did not post the statement, I was merely expressing an opinion on parts of it that I wanted to express an opinion of.

If you have a problem with the statement, then take it up with whichever group wrote it.

There are a certain group of posters on here who seem to constantly trot along and dissect every single word of anyone who does not agree with them or jump on you if you don’t say everything. Should we start all our statements with “I condemn Hamas” just in case you think we are sympathisers ? We didn’t say it so it must be true. Yeah I see you.

Just tap image to see it all

I’m off too. Happy New Year - and here’s to a better 2024 for the innocent people on both sides of the conflict .

One poster asked if you think the group with that slogan is antisemitic and you said no. It's really that simple. No one is twisting your words, that's what you said.

@Livinginanotherworld 'I see you' is such a pointless thing to say.... no one on here is hiding.

I think @Livinginanotherworld 's post here is important to take note of, and I actually hope it doesn't get deleted. Every now and again a poster lets their mask slip and everyone gets to see exactly what is going on behind the obfuscations and gaslighting. A Hamas sympathiser, at best.

Odfo ……how predictable

Well....

@Totallymessed oooooh I have one of those too.

Plus out of all the users on the conflict board I am probably one of the hardest to miss and lay it all out their about who I am and what I think because I post like I talk. TO MUCH😁

I do love the idea that some posters have tried to discredit me lately by hinting I have an agenda or make stuff up. It is quite amusing to me becauseall anyonehas to do is scroll back through the thread and see the previous posts. It also means they find chatterbox me a bit worrying.

Apparently I am hitting to many nails on target with my rambling analysis of their posts and I must not ask questions too. Not sure everyone on mumsnet understands that this is one of the things you do on mumsnet.

(Just to make it clear I am not talking about any one poster but a few different ones)

Seen as people were talking about the Yemen's Houthi fighters:

In NYC are yesterday at a protest chanting for Yemen’s Houthi terrorists to “make us proud”.

These terrorist fighters

I mean who wouldn't shout in the street for these lovely people to make us proud

SARCASM!

Seriously are these people just useful idiots that can't even use Google to research who they are supporting or are they evil fuckwits that just don't care, so long as it suits their own agenda.

Unbelievable, truly unbelievable

So they are suggesting a terrorist organisation who wishes death to America makes them proud. In New York of all places. Arrest the lot of them, terrorist supporters. Disgusting.

They are useful idiots but also dangerous and delusional since terrorists have their support. The poor little hard done by terrorists would end them if they visited. I wish they could be rounded up and sent to Yeman.

I really didn't think it was that difficult of a question. And yet the wrong answer.

I note that the poster who I originally put the question to has decided not to answer despite returning to the thread.

How difficult can it be to say 'yes, these people who say 'a curse upon the Jews' while doing a Hitler salute are antisemitic'? How wedded to the idea that one side is good and the other side is bad must you be to refuse to admit anything wrong with 'your side'?

@Itsalmostherenow I wish that upon all the 'useful idiots' to see what welcoming committee they would get.

Indeed.
I wonder why these useful idiots think tearing their own society apart will help anybody, let alone people hundreds of miles away in distance, experience and belief.
I have heard of so many peace activists working for solutions practically, on the ground, Many were targeted on 7th Oct.
It will be a wonderful day when there are more people working for peace together than inciting division and hatred.
Wishing you all a peaceful and safe new year.

Totally agree with you it will be a wonderful day if it can happen

Best wishes for the new year to you as well xxxx
