Is the penny finally starting to drop about anti semitism and hate marches?

I think we are now seeing the cumulative impact of the anti senitism that has built up over the last 3 years where there has been a permissive environment with politicians hesitant to intervene in events in the streets that have incubated anti Jew sentiment.

All political parties apart from the hate apologist Greens are now waking up to the fact we need better policing and perhaps legislation. I for one will acting a vote for a party that recognises hate marches for what they are and also willing to tackle the vile posts appearing on social media (and Labour have reacted too late too little). Enough is enough for a Jewish community that lives in perpetual fear.

I genuinely thought that the video of them throwing sweets into the sea 'for the Gazan children' was an AI fake.

You yesterday:

Maybe if neither pressure anyone to do anything
and
neither chase and remind posters to post, answer or watch or whatever anything
Then no one is pressuring anyone to do anything and it won’t come across as really creepy and a bit bullying
Just a suggestion.

You today: Read the news.

Absolutely fucking hilarious.

You cannot be serious, as John McEnroe said.

I think it says a lot that some people have more words of derision for the activists than the do the people who left the activists looking like this:

Horrific !

are those images of wounds from their detention by Israel ?

Yeah, that's what was done to them in detention.

Ok yes thanks @FloralDeerPattern
You just posted as I was about to

i see in the news they are

On the Flotilla activists some appalling reports of abuse whilst in detention in Israel

‘ Gaza flotilla activists allege sexual assault and rape in Israeli detention
Israeli prison service denies claims of abuse during detention of 430 people trying to take aid to Palestinians

Activists released from Israeli custody after being detained on a flotilla trying to take aid to Gaza were subjected to abuse, organisers have alleged, with several hospitalised with injuries and at least 15 reporting sexual assaults, including rape.

Israel’s prison service denied the allegations, and Reuters was not able to verify them independently.

Germany said some of its nationals had been injured and that some accusations were “serious”, without giving further details.

A legal source in Italy said prosecutors there were investigating possible crimes, including kidnapping and sexual assault.

At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape,” organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla posted on the Telegram social media app. “Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken.’

Sabrina Charik, who helped organise the return of 37 French citizens from the flotilla, told Reuters that five French participants had been hospitalised in Turkey, some with broken ribs or fractured vertebrae.

Some had made detailed accusations of sexual violence, including of rape, she said.
In an Instagram post by an activist group verified by Reuters, a French national, Adrien Jouan, showed bruises across his back and on his forearms.

Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel Albares, told reporters that 44 Spanish flotilla members were expected to arrive throughout Friday on flights from Istanbul to Madrid and Barcelona. Four of them had received medical treatment for their injuries, he added.

Western governments expressed their anger on Thursday after Ben-Gvir posted a video of himself mocking activists being pinned to the ground in a prison.
The Italian foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, said on the sidelines of the Nato meeting in Sweden that he was in touch with all his EU counterparts “so that there may be a quick decision to impose sanctions on Ben Gvir ‘

Hoping for a thorough investigation from the countries receiving their activists back.

Also some of the activists have given accounts of being raped by the IDF.

Not so funny, at least the World will and are judging the IDF and their supporters.
