Yep still an absolute refusal to ‘see’ anything other than your own narrow frame of reference.
And you seem so certain of what you are marching ‘Against’ without realising how problematic and loaded a lot of what you’ve just asserted as fact is (genocide even before the international criminal court has had an opportunity to determine on it, which is quite impressive !)
But we have already established you’re not so concerned with basic legal definitions or critical thinking so I’m assuming international criminal law (or the basics of Middle Eastern and global history) is a step too far….
it says a lot that you’ve read my issue as being ‘anti’ the right to March or against Palestinians. I am ‘discriminating against you’ because I don’t agree with marching alongside swastikas and think a group allowing the brandishing of such slogans and symbols endorsing such things is complicit.
I’ve not for one minute criticised yours or anyone else’s right to protest. I don’t disagree with marching against Netanyahu (as most of Israel were before 7/10 even happened) or for your concerns over the innocent people in Gaza and the expectation Israel defends itself proportionately or in compliance with international law.
This thread is about those marching with swastikas (along with other symbols, slogans and behaviour that causes fear and incites hatred or promotes misinformation) being at those same marches and the police saying it’s ‘context dependant’ and what this says about the changing sentiment and society’s normalisation of and acceptance For things that would previously have been viewed as an abomination (or at least such hatred would have lurked under the surface for fear of being exposed, now people are feeling much more confident
to let it flow over).
Even just people’s acceptance of flawed logic or lies or propaganda as fact without even realising, I assume because they’re taking a lot of what they ‘know’ from social media rather than any real knowledge of the subject or rigorous testing of what it is they read and the sources for it. The problem with trying to ‘see’ anything this way is you don’t realise how prone to manipulation it will be as you’ll be fed a diet of content based on an algorithm, and much of what you’re seeing will be fake, generated to stir up sentiment and division.
You may have not ‘seen’ any of these things on the March because you’re too busy posting pictures of yourself being such a virtuous person on social media and hoping you’ll be ‘seen’ but you know full well that they are there. And if you can’t see it, ask yourself why you don’t?
I personally wouldn’t want to be ‘seen’ as part of any hatred or division or anything that caused intimidation to others.
When others are telling you this is what impact you’re having it, you still won’t see it. You don’t ‘see’ it because you don’t ‘see’ Jewish fear or pain as legitimate?
But you don’t need to look to others actions, I can see why you don’t see any issue with what others are doing alongside you.
we might both want the bombing and killing to stop. But we don’t want the same things.
So I would not join you on your March, I’ll be at the one with true sentiments of peace being called for, without the division, ignorance, hatred and ‘discrimination’ (to use your favourite word), but I know you won’t let all this get in the way of telling yourself you’re a good virtuous person.
