I’ve been wanting to post words of support here for a while, but it’s easy to post words.

It’s no great hardship to walk round central London for a few hours either, really; nevertheless, the DC (teen, ten and tiny), DP and I hope this small action spoke louder than words.

Thank you for the invitation to stand with you.

An amazing and beautiful experience. Wonderful to feel such support, warm and love from Jews and non Jews alike.

Thank you. It means a lot.

You should know there are so many of us Jewish and not who stand with you. I stand with peace. 🙏🏻

It was a great march on Sunday. Very peaceful. Good to know there is so much support from the quiet majority.

What annoys me is that there are some terrible things going on all around the world, the persecution of the Uighur Muslims in China, yet none of the pro Palestine gang seems to care about them at all. I suspect few of them have even heard about what is going on on China. This is why I find the focus on Israel so anti semitic.

They fail to mention the Muslim hostages or deaths in the pogrom too. Everything is just about Jews to them

A lovely Israel Arab Muslim doctor was shot dead in her car at a junction on 7th October. She was wearing a hijab so easily identifiable as a Muslim lady. However Hamas doesn't care about that. To them she would have been a traitor for being Israeli.

If these protesters got their way and Israel was dismantled or didn't do anything to stop Hamas then all Israelis would be at risk.

@GreekDogRescue 100%. Time and again it has been proven that it's little to do with the Gaza/Israel conflict and everything to do with anti semitism.

I hope it's ok to post on this board again. Two months since the massacre, & I still feel absolutely distraught about what happened in Israel, so I can't imagine how you must feel if you're Jewish.

I was in Prague last weekend, & went to the Jewish Quarter. As a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, the names of those murdered in Bohemia & Moravia were painted on the walls of a synagogue. Outside the synangogue were the posters of those taken hostage. In 2023.

It was overwhelming & unbearable.

Please know that we haven't just moved on with our lives since October 7th. Jewish communities around the world are on my mind, all the time.

AbsoluteYawns · 07/12/2023 20:20

Thank you @Lindos1 this means so very much.

Pennina · 07/12/2023 20:46

Thank you @Lindos1 it is devastating - I just hope it is all over soon for everyone's sake
