Mumsnet is getting worse

[LondonMummer]

Seriously. Is it the same few people just name changing or is it really this toxic in the UK? There is so much poisonous Jewish hatred on here. I'm not talking hatred of Israel, just vile antisemitism on so many posts now.

I truly think I have to step away before I lose faith in humanity. Why does MN seem to attract so many hateful posters? Maybe it's the anonymity.

I can't keep calling it out. Im exhausted and actually deeply disturbed by it now.

Aaggghh 😔

Bloody hell 😨

I don't know what to say.....

yeah imo Mumsnet shouldn’t have taken it down

Ah yes, I saw the full thread but it was quite late when it was posted.

I also think it have been better if the thread stayed. No original source now! I think the OP asked for it to be removed, which was fair enough as someone took her images onto twitter, which was wrong IMO.

The predictable same poster tag teams when someone dare post something that's not ' on message' is irritating me. As is the domination of all threads on the ME.

It's like posting by numbers.

I think this is what I meant when I was drunk the other night and referred to a vicious Stepford Wives.

Groupspeak, programmed to repeat and not engage.

Is the J-word is like the Bat-Signal to these posters? Up they pop like it’s a panto. Antisemitism? “Oh no it isn’t!”

I have spied some name changes and a bit of 'to me to you' sock puppetry.

Mon dieu, that thread!

I saw an Iranian-American woman post this on Twitter before, and yes, it feels like being driven to insanity:

"Every day, my only Jewish friend, who is also liberal and surrounded by liberal friends, is told that he is cheering on the genocide of Palestinians solely because of his support for Israel.

He's so isolated that he needs to talk to me to ensure he's not going insane.
I don't think there has ever been a time in history when a group has had to explain themselves in such depth to prove they deserve support and sympathy..."

There's a really interesting AMA by an Israeli woman, which is mostly respectful. She seems lovely and has deftly fought-off the few attempts at snide.

That's was such an interesting thread...
Why oh why do people have to be so nasty though? And keep coming back for more? It's vile and happens a lot on here.
As if we are official spokesperson for Netanyahu
Can you imagine if we implied the same?

I heard she left to run the official JC Fanclub. Underwear pics, annuals, she's flogging it all on her new Etsy shop.

And if that doesn't get her back out of hiding, nothing will.

Brave woman!!

Some of the people on the Israeli AMA thread are beyond belief. Thankfully they seem to be a loud-mouthed minority. And forget the blatant antisemitism- I can't get over the sheer lack of manners! What must these people be like at parties?!?

She'll need to give you a cut from the annual sales.

Come back @Trulywonderful !

@0palfruity I actively flinch now when some of the same usernames pop up, one on that thread in particular.

The OPs posts on the AMA thread are wonderful. There is one in particular I found so honest and powerful.

I'm actually quite embarrassed for a couple of the posters on there.

I'd never heard of the BDS until it was mentioned on the AMA thread... had you?

Yes it was big a while ago

To add, I haven’t heard from them in a while. They stickered fruit and veg from Israel, and protested I think. There was a whole incident with sodastream which was ridiculous. (Literally a company that had a brilliant model of co-existence with Palestinians and Israelis in their factory)

IIRC Corbyn had planned to 'tag team' with them if he became PM.

BDS is the fashionable word for pogrom - like how they used to protest outside of M&S because one of the founders (M!) was Jewish
