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.

What is PA? I still don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you meant to be responding to someone else?

Oh I’m sorry your feelings are hurt. That must be so distressing for you. How will you cope?

PA are the group who broke into a military base in the uk and painted graffiti on some planes, I think?

The planes must have been terrified.

No to you. Do you follow the news? Did you see the recent proscription of PA as a terrorist organisation after attacking an air base.

That’s more likely to be current for the public than Gaza. In fact it probably has rare cross party support to proscribe.

Most British people will want Jewish people to feel safe. Don’t you want that?

Outside mn and the CITME board (I’m sure you know that you’re on it) I very much doubt the feelings are shared.

The public don’t want to have the disruption of the protests, they don’t want terrorism in anyone’s name and those actions just put people off it all.

I know you’ll be you don’t get it, that’s part of the problem here. Just a blank. It won’t get you the support though.

Definition of Genocide = Acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such," including:

• Killing members of the group - I think it's safe to say Israel has a big tick on this one. Since 1949 Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians murdered and starved tp death by Israel.
• Causing serious bodily or mental harm - Israel despite having precision technology when it suits them has chosen to carpet bomb large civilian areas, in many cases telling the people ahead of time that these were safe zones only to burn them alive in tents when they get there.
• Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction - bombing hospitals, blocking aid so people starve.
• Imposing measures to prevent births - attacking hospitals and letting babies rot in incubators, blocking access to baby formula, blocking food so women can't breastfeed,
• Forcibly transferring children - at the end of 2024 there were 163 Palestinian children taken and detained without trial by Israel. Since then Israel have refused to release the numbers.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck

Sadly for some support for the group won’t be legal anymore.

I heard the plane was so offended that a bit of paint was called terrorism when actual terrorism is going on right now.

At this juncture and after Brize Norton, the Palestine flag could be considered a flag that represents being anti British in addition anti Israel and anti Jew.
That is not helping Palestine folk is it?
Just stop oil shenanigans didn’t help their cause either. It merely pushed people to judge them negatively.

I think there’s many thinking that. It’s not often all parties would agree on something. Proscribing them terrorists.

Really? Do you live in the UK?

There’s a lot of supposition in your posts, why is that? And are you the designated spokesperson for the British public now? I didn’t realise that job had been advertised.

Incorrect. Many countries recognise Palestine as a state with right to exist (Spain, Ireland, Norway most recently) which means they also recognise the Palestinian flag.

There’s much on this thread on how people feel about flags.

They’re likely wrong. Those who take action haven’t helped their cause.

Agree with all of that - it’s great to see it expressed so succinctly.

Same.

Supposition? Hilarious given the plight of Gaza is directly related to which sky fairy you follow.

Who is wrong about what? I promise that I am not being deliberately obtuse but I genuinely cannot make head nor tail of your points. Who has taken what actions that have not helped which cause?

People on marches protest for all sorts of reasons. They do not always align. Protesters at the same march do not all belong to the same groups or think the same things. Not everybody is tribal. So when you keep banging on about “them” and “they” you need to be very specific about who you are talking about. Because I’m sure you would hate it if someone decided that every single English person thinks the same way about every subject, right? Why not open your mind a little to the idea that people outside of your limited frame of reference also have the ability to think differently to each other?

Of course there would be cross parties support for it - we have more friends of Israel in the parliament than friends of the UK.

I’m an atheist.

A good step towards authoritarianism. Well done “change labour”.

The actions taken on behalf of Gaza including the recent terrorism at the air base Brize Norton.

Also protesters making Jewish people feel unsafe here.

These bring negative connotations.

You might be separate to that but this thread is about flags and what people attribute to them. I disagree with a few posts below summing up the two flags below.

Jesus what a disgusting thing to say.

It’s always about hurt feelings isn’t it?
