I’ve tagged a few people to start off the next thread. Please tag anyone else I’ve missed.
I felt bad calling it Mumsnet could do better 😬

There is an active thread in Scotsnet where one poster has expressed support for Nazism and blamed Zionism, cast doubt on the Holocaust and finally posted this response (marked sensitive in case anyone doesn't want to see antisemitism this morning).

I've reported it three times (the first more than 9 hours ago) with no response or acknowledgement from mumsnet, despite also responding directly to an email about another post by the same person which had been deleted.

It is shameful.

I saw that thread - the Jewish people "apparently" suffered a genocide according to one poster. Hope they get banned.

Nothing subtle about that antisemitism although MN mods seem to be struggling to identify it if you have reported it 3 times!

Pure hatred.

I think it has been taken down, I can't see it today, thankfully!
Shame it took so much work to get it removed though.

Yes, they got round to it later that morning and have removed most the posts from that individual. They did also acknowledge my suggestion that they need to monitor threads/user who have posted deliberately hateful things, but no idea if they actually plan to change anything

Thanks to @Twiglets1 for your responses on that thread ❤️

No problem x

They acknowledged your suggestion which is good but I can't help feeling cynical that anything will change. They have been aware for years now that some threads and users continually post hateful stuff against Israel and Jewish people and they have done nothing to intervene beyond deleting some posts if reported.

Hopefully people are waking up finally that antisemitism cannot be allowed to flow unchecked in the UK- on discussion forums or anywhere. Great news today that the Court of Appeal has ruled that the government's proscription of Palestine Action as a terror organisation is lawful.

That's fantastic news, thank you @Twiglets1 !
I was caught up in one of the matches in the city I live in, as I was trying to cross the road before they started.
So scary, really horrible experience, and that's speaking as a non-Jew (who stands with Israel)!

Good!

It is good news.

Taking violent or criminal action is the way of Palestine Action. They are keen on smashing things up or throwing red paint over things. Thugs. Glad they are being stopped.

This made me laugh!

Very accurate 😂
