Course it is assuming the people they called terrorist cunts were Muslim.
So calling Jews terrorists is racist as well then yeah?

Not if you're calling the IDF or the Goverment it isn't.So calling Jews terrorists is racist as well then yeah?
Very few people bother about Armistice Day. Until the RBL asked for it to be commemorated a few years ago for a particular war anniversary, nobody had really "observed" it since Remembrance Sunday was instituted.Okay - Saturday then. Which was armistice day, 11th November.
Holding it this weekend was wrong.
Clearly wasn't both sides though, was it?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.
Is it ok to say that the policies of the Israeli government fall under the definition of fascism?Comparing Israel to Nazis is antisemitic according to the internatioally agreed definition. What do some people not get about that?
Says the man who doesn't know what day of the week it is ....Double Down "News", LOL.
You do realise they're the left wing equivalent of Breitbart, right?
Oh grow up.Says the man who doesn't know what day of the week it is ....
That ships had sailed the march went ahead with little troubleOkay - Saturday then. Which was armistice day, 11th November.

On the 6th October there seemed little "anti Jewish" feeling world wide, the 7th as said was shocking but the response from Israel is barbaric in the extreme and has done their cause and feeling towards them huge damage.I think you underestimate the extent to which the Holocaust impinges on Jewish memory.
The history of antisemitism is not simple either. It's probably not even a helpful term in itself when it can cover everything from "some Jews are rich and/or have too much influence" to "let's exterminate all Jews" (and when the term was coined even a Zionist leader like Herzl could use what would now be called antisemitic tropes). Alternatively it's a "soft" euphemism for hating Jews.
The IHRA examples are not law. I think they do try to tread a fine line to distinguish between opposition to policies of the state of Israel and being antisemitic, but it's hard to hold that line when many do not make that distinction. I recall the shock in Terry Waite's voice when in a radio interview years ago when he was accused of being antisemitic because he'd criticised Israel - someone who'd been a hostage of Muslim terrorists being accused of antisemitism.
