I think more if not nearly all were Jewish rather than Israeli so that’s why I said Jews…. And how not sure what the issue ANI has with my original comment. 

Have explained below 75% of Israelis are  Jewish so 25% are not, add in aid workers , it was not an attack just on Jews but anyone who was there. Same with 9/11 it was not just Yanks killed.

See, I read that and didn’t bother with the rest. It’s not really the way to debate with adults.

I think it's pretty clear that encouraging people to target MPs offices for any reason is inflammatory, particularly in the context of this issue

There can be no good reason for it

The mechanism for constituents to discuss matters with their MP exists in the form of constituency surgeries

Beyond that, it's a matter of either agreeing to disagree or opting to simply not vote for them

A simple "no" would have sufficed.

It's not relevant if it is itself inflammatory

For example, Braverman's statements would be no less inflammatory or worthy of condemnation even if there had been no "counter-protest" on Saturday or explicit violence against pro-Palestine pritestors because the intent is what matters

Believe there was no malign intent if you want, but I think that belief is naive

It's a 5 second clip. How anyone can believe anything from it is beyond me. Clearly you think he wanted to go out and intimidate people, which I believe is naive given how little know about him or the protest 👍

And asking them if they are a terrorist sympathiser is 🤣

You don't need to read it. We can leave it there if you wish 👍

Hamas doesn't control every piece of information we get from Gaza, that much is fact.

I'm not dismissing the antisemitism that appears to be rife at the moment and I'm with you that it's a worrying trend. 

I just disagree with you on jumping to conclusions on this one 👍

So you agree that forming an opinion about someone/something based on a 5 second clip is silly.

Tbf (used that twice now) using the same logic people who do not like the Israeli government are not always anti-Semitic. 

Tbf, people are using the Israeli government as an excuse for their antisemitism. I mentioned earlier in this thread about the battle of Cable St. People like dates. 1936. Before the establishment of the Israeli state. It does of course go back much further but hey ho, another distraction from the current issues that have fuck all to do with us.
We do of course have some moral obligation to be concerned about the genuine fear that Jewish people are feeling here in the UK because of the hate they experience from many.
Well I do.

How did you form your opinion that there’s no Hamas supporters on here?

Fair enough

We'll have to agree to disagree

I formed that opinion by reading peoples' posts over the last few weeks....maybe I'm wrong? How did you form your opinion that there are Hamas supporters on here?

I'm sure that is the case but then the opposite is also true.  People dismiss any and all criticism of Israel as anti semitism. Meanwhile children continue to be killed indiscriminately.

I’ve not and at no point have I said there are. You’d have to be a bit simple to suggest there’s definitely some or definitely none.

Im anything but.

It is a shame, it’s also a shame 1400 innocent Jews were murdered by Hamas which triggered this latest round of deaths. If that hadn’t happened none of the Gaza deaths happen. 

Interesting split between the words you've chosen. The "deaths" in Gaza, almost as natural, acceptable and normalised as the passing of your nan. Not "murders", oh no.

Current estimates are at around 11,000 Palestinian deaths in retaliation for 1,400 Israelis. 

Let's flip it.

How many murdered Palestinians equate to one Israeli death? Is 8 a fair number?

They were after the Jewish Israelis so that makes me right. Jews not Israelis. Glad we got there in the end. 😜

You say nothing to do with us, but the impact of the Hamas attack and Israeli reaction is having an impact on people in this country. ( on both sides) .

And yes we should be concerned about it.

Apart from you being wrong. Do you think the terrorises were checking foreskins ? Yes they were targeting Jewish Israelis but others were killed, unless you are saying Hamas were very careful ?

I might have been wrong but not as wrong as you.  😜
