Middle East Conflict

Is calling pro Palestinian protesters ‘terrorist cunts’ racist?

There’s no need for the aggression and pushing and shoving but IMO that’s not in and of itself a racist statement.

Clearly a load of wankers just out looking for trouble though and that’s both sides.

These protests should’ve been banned on armistice day. By all means have them, but have them on a different day in a different place.

Course it is assuming the people they called terrorist cunts were Muslim.

Ok let’s unpick this.

Hamas are a load of terrorist cunts and anyone excusing their actions - and in the case of these protests outright defending their actions - are a load of terrorist sympathising cunts.

Now I’m not defending a load of coked up pissed EDL wankers - they can fuck right off - but I don’t think the phrase ‘terrorist cunts’ in the above context is racist.

Obviously going up to a random Muslim on the street just going about their business and calling them a ‘terrorist ****’ is abhorrent and totally racist, but that’s not what happened here.

Were they wearing Hamas regalia? We don't know maybe they were. Let's say they were, could you then call them terrorist cunts?

There's a LOT of things people can't say these days and people are twisting themselves up into knots trying to use victim status to shut up criticism or debate.

Maybe you should ask him about internationally agreed genocidal murder definition as well. And ask if Israel is committing it.

I would should I have wanted to. I wasn’t trying to inflame the rhetoric though.

I was trying to ask a specific question about people wasting too much time defining anti-semitism (and also the need of having to type out the caveat of Hamas not being the whole of Palestine) and not concentrating more on actually debating what needs to happen from here.

If we don’t do that, the death count will keep on rising and it’ll return to some sort of where it was before and no doubt recur in the future.

I would gladly put this **** on his arse repeatedly

He was too thick to take his Arsenal top off. His master, Barverman, has been give the boot too.

The fact there’s some people on here trying to explain to a Jewish poster what is and isn’t antisemitic says everything about the problem the political left in this country has with antisemitism.

I disagree. I’m asking what use it has, because everybody who posts anything anti Israel is pretty much perceived as anti-Semitic, whether they are or not.

Are we not getting sidetracked with all these side debates?

In the meantime thousands of innocent civilians are dying, it’s absolute carnage
