Some of the marchers seem awfully protective of Hamas, given their response to this Iranian man:

Some of the police don't seem able to stop them. That Iranian guy has courage.

I think we have to ask the Jewish community their thoughts on this given the massive rise in anti semitism which has been well documented in the press. Given hate crimes against Jews are increasing exponentially we have to ask the question whether font continuous marches in London is dissolving social cohesion in this country. In reality the marches aren't influencing government policy or the actions of Israel or Hamas so in my mind there is an element of redundancy. The marches against anti semitism do have importance in that they directly highlight the issues Jews face in the UK on a daily basis.

if Jews feel the accumulated impact on these marches is to inflame anti Semitic feeling even if the intent is not there from some of the protesters then that real fear needs to be taken into account when determining the legitimacy of the marches.

There is plenty of evidence here of signs and slogans which are anti Semitic and it is clear that those who works to instil hate are using these marches as shields. (safety in numbers).

It needs to be made clear that Hamas are a terrorist organisation that organised and carried out on the most heinous acts of terror in modern history. There should be welcome for any action that is taken to remove these inhuman terrorists and do the marchers can for this? No. There are plenty of calls for Israel to stop fighting but no calls for Hamas to stop fighting, set aside their weapons and face due process for October 7th. By not condemning Hamas the protesters are implicitly holding the rights of an evil twisted terrorist group which embodies Jew hate over the rights of a democratic country to defend itself against terror. No wonder Jews are intimidated.

What about the Palestinians? You want the demonstrations to stop so that people stop thinking about the abhorrent crimes being done to them by a state.

So many courageous people in Iran, who would have known that not wearing a scarf could be a death sentence.

Yes - many ordinary Iranian people ( especially the women ) are inspirational . True courage.

I want the demonstrations to condemn the atrocities and violence on both sides

Aren't capable of what?

That's sexism if ever I saw it.

Is this the opposite of that Monty Python skit from life of Brian....'are there any men here?'

I think the poster meant that we all go on a journey in these situations and some of us arrive at a point of compromise and listening to alternative viewpoints earlier than others. I guess that depends on your life experiences etc ..
That is how I interpreted this ..

Sounds pretty patronising to me - and sexist.

Errr no, I don't think so. I don't know anyone called Pulsifer either.

Obviously a joke I haven't got?

I’m quite old … it’s taken me a while to appreciate how important compromise is. I think having children is one of the things that helped me to become less black and white in my thinking . That’s just me though.. the poster might have meant something else .
I do appreciate the posters on here who are able to disagree respectfully and don’t look for offence where none was intended.

I'm sure most people don't 'go looking for offence', but sometimes there are subtle nuances that escape some.

Holocaust inversion and cultural appropriation.

I must be missing something but I have no idea who that is.

Maybe someone could enlighten me? Taa.

Horrible

Listen I am not always a big fan of the things dulra says but I honestly don't think they would have been looking to offend there.

I don't understand that either 🤔

@Myothercarisareliantrobin it's Elyon Levy. Israeli Government spokesman for the October 7th War.
