Palestine Action

A noble cause but far too many do it from a position of anti Zionism.

I’m afraid that shows them up for what they truly are and about.

The Israeli government led by Netanyahu has behaved appallingly and no doubt broken many international laws, including committing war crimes and they should be dealt with accordingly although I wouldn’t hold my breath on that as it’s not how the world and political elites work, especially with the backing they have.

Are all Israelis and Jews who I’ve little doubt are probably all zionists at heart given its meaning to blame or should be constantly bombarded with the anti Zionism card because of the behaviour of their government?

No is the answer. If you think the answer is yes that’s fine but those doing so should at least be big enough to accept exactly what it is they want and are saying.

When fire is in the house, there is no time to think. It's time to act. We have to stop mass murders against any human population or group.

Even if it means jumping into the same bed as the anti Zionist’s and the likes of the BDS with everything they stand for?

Are you talking about Russia. Of course not, no Jews, no news. What are you all going to moan about when this war is over and the terror group that is Hamas is no longer capable of destroying the lives of so many including their own.Will you match for the Nigerian Christians who are being slaughtered or maybe the Sudanese? Or will you focus on the Congo or the Uyghurs? Or is it just the 15 - 16m worldwide population of Jews that you hate?

Never in the field of human conflict have so few been hated by so many.

Russia doesn’t have our governments support for a start.

Did you take this stance during the October attacks? I imagine not.

What is going on is atrocious. It is not an excuse to murder and intimidate Jewish people in Britain. Some people on here see it as a free pass to be anti-semetic.

Thursday was desperately sad. Attacks on Jews, Muslims or anyone are very sad indeed. I speak as a minority myself.

Condemning murder by an extremist in Crumpsall is no different to condemning murder by extremists in Palestine and Israel whatever their religion. Can we not unite against Hamas, Netanyahu's far right government and any murderous extremist like the one in Crumpsall. There should be no suppression of any of that condemnation.

Condemning it isn't anti-Jewish or anti-Muslim. It's simply humanity and decency.

Many Jewish people like Green Party Leader Zak Polanski are against what Israel and Hamas are doing and say so. He's not anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim or any group of people for their race, religion or whatever.

I think it’s possible to be sad about both the terrorist attack on Thursday as well as the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Protesting against genocide does not mean supporting antisemitism or terrorism (quite the opposite in fact).

If there was a genocide happening against Jews, the same people would be in the streets demanding it stops.

Just because Israel is a Jewish majority state should not mean we can’t protest against them without being labelled antisemitic. It’s a lazy argument.

Agree.

March, campaign for an end to the war and a realisation of a 2 state solution.

The issues comes with support for organisations and movements are clearly anti Zionist and everything that goes with being that.

In what way does being arrested for publicly supporting PA help anyone? PA started before the October attacks and war I should add so it’s not a reaction to what has happened since that day. The BDS started in 2005 and they are open in their opposition to the right to exist for an Israel state.

The war should end immediately. A 2 state solution found but let’s not pretend that those behind certain organisations are appeased by that and suddenly go away because they don’t.

They only want one thing in the same way the worst in the Israeli government want it.
