Israeli flag flyers threatened with arrest after being attacked by Pro-Palestine mob.

[PickyBits]

This is just unbelievable. These ‘protesters’ are being given free rein to threaten and assault pro-Israelis (Jewish) because ‘there’s 500 of them and 2 of you’.

Police not interested in doing their job, which is upholding the law I thought?

Just sickening that this country has come to this.

I don't know whether the flag would trigger those people. I've never been caught up in attack or suffered ptsd or anything like that. I wouldn't like to speak for the victims. My post was purely to point out that there is a link between violent terrorist attacks commited in the name of Islam.

Yes, they supported Gaza and Hamas against Abbas.
Israel acknowledged that dealing and aiding Hamas blew up in their faces after the 7/10 massacre.

Well that's why it made no sense if you followed the posts it was clear I was talking about the Palestinian flag not islamists terror groups but the poster I was quoting was equating the two together which I was objecting to

And I was pointing out that there is indeed a link between the Palestinian flag and Islamic terrorism.

Just off the top of my head here's a list of Palestinian Islamic terrorist groups-

Black September
Fatah
PLO
Hamas
Palestinian Islamic Jihad

Terrorist activities commited include suicide bombings, hijackings, rape, car bombs, assinations, hostage taking. Not all attacks have been commited in Israeli or Palestinian territories.

It's disingenuous in the extreme to suggest there is no link at all between Palestine and Islamic terrorism.

There's links with the flag and Israeli terror groups like the hilltop youth too and others. Some who have been sanctioned by our government. Are we going to ignore that?

And now they are at it again, arming groups opposed to Hamas but not necessarily who you want at the helm either. The Israeli government doesn’t want a stable Palestine other countries will negotiate with. They do not want a 2 state solution and are sabotaging it. The key to move forward is a new government in Israel who won’t support extremism on the Palestine side.

Nope. Totally agree. Can understand why people would make those connections.

But the Palestinians elected Hamas. You want them to have self determination yes, so what was Israel to do in that situation back in 2006?

Can you imagine the global condemnation if Israel had gone in to dismantle Hamas then without an attack like Oct 7th having taken place.

Look at the global outrage when Israel went in AFTER Oct 7th.

Quite duplicitous to make Hamas the fault of Israel while ignoring that Palestinians voted them in.

Did they not have their own agency?

Yes but you have to look at the factors which led up to Hamas gaining in popularity and being elected AFTER the Oslo agreement. . You also wrote as if Israel sat on the fence until the 7th of October. Hamas did not start their suicide missions first. It was an Israeli suicide bomber who blew himself up in a mosque in Hebron killing dozens of praying muslims and so it went on…..

Around a hundred Israeli settlers just went on a rampage a short while ago in a Palestinian village terrorising the Palestinians. They torched homes and vehicles and when the IDF arrived they did nothing to stop it and also fired at the Palestinians. Three Palestinians have just been killed, many others injured. All added and abetted by the state of Israel. Yet you won't hear much about these hundred Israeli terrorists because they are Israeli. This has been ongoing for decades. Far too often, Israeli and Jewish terrorism against Palestinians isn't called out for what it is. This is terrorism carried out in the name of zionism. To harass Palestinians so much that they are left with no choice but to leave their land and homes for settlers to then steal.

Even worse, many settlers seem to be people who have come to Israel from other countries with the express purpose of stealing land from Palestinians, knowing they will be enabled by the government and army. I'd love to see all those scumbags deported and never allowed back - will never happen though.

There's links to terrorism and the British flag and the Irish flag and the St George's flag to far right activists and I'm sure others too,, we still fly them because we recognise the difference between the people flying the flag and the flag itself. It is just an exercise to delegitmise the Palestinian flag

It's disingenuous in the extreme to suggest there is no link at all between Palestine and Islamic terrorism.
That's not what I said. Read my posts properly

Terrorism was pretty fundamental to the establishment of the state of Israel. Google the King David Hotel bombing.

Am Yosrael Chai. Nothing else to add.

ofc decades of terrors from both side.

It's an anagram of the traditional Arabic greeting, going back to the early 9th century, when Mulsim traders would deal with Jewish merchants.

Over time it evolved into its current state of "Am Yisrael Chai", shifting letter by letter from the original "I Say Camelhair".

It is projected to evolve into " Hairy CIA Males" soon.

Hairy CIA Males

Terrorism was pretty fundamental to the establishment of the state of NI…

The people committing terrorist atrocities in the name of Palestinian nationalism are the ones delegitimizing the flag, not the ones simply pointing it out.

Do you feel the Union Jack is delegitimised by home grown loyalist terror organisations?

Of course.
Anyone committing atrocities under their countries flag is linking that country to their atrocities. They are saying- We do this in this name.
The problem is the level and visibility of those atrocities. And Palestinian atrocities have historically been visible internationally. That's by design. Remember Munich?

So if the union has been deligitimitised and anyone who knows a victim of terrorism would be triggered by the Palestinian flag it surely means that the Union Jack should be more triggering in the uk?
After all more people have been victims of home grown terror organisations, but quite a considerable number. So if you’re agreeing with the call to ban one you must surely think the other needs banned?

And Palestinian atrocities have historically been visible internationally. That's by design.

What does international visibility have to do with terror victims in the UK being triggered by the Palestinian flag specifically?

That they are aware other terror attacks around the world not just in the UK?

I’m sure everyone already knows that.
I fail to see how that means a victim of a terror attack in the UK should be more triggered by a Palestinian flag compared to a Union flag when more terror victims have suffered in the name of the latter.

Are you aware of that many terrorist atrocities committed under the British flag in our lifetime? I'm not. Perhaps the St George flag could be linked with football hooliganism? That certainly pops into my mind sometimes... I'm sorry I don't follow the rest of your argument.

As to your second point, its so obvious I can't believe youre posting in good faith. Much terrorism has been committed in the name of Palestinian nationalism in recent times. Therefore I can see the link between violent Islamic terrorism and the Palestinian flag. Thats it.
