This is why people are losing respect for the police...

Are we actually pretending it’s impossible to be Jewish and live in a UK city without being abused ? Because that is some premium grade ********.

Maybe some of us don’t want Palastein to be free from the R to the C?
Maybe some of us think Israel has the right to exist, just as Pakistan does, which was incidentally created at the same time.

What’s that got to do with your insinuation that you can’t be Jewish in a major UK city for whatever reasons ?

Are we conflating Jews and Israel now?

What I am suggesting is try to visit a major city at weekend whilst these anti semitic protests are taking place.
What has it been? 9 months of this nonsense now?

Not pretending. It's true.

Like the protesters?

The relevance to this thread is two tier policing.
Nothing or next to nothing has been done to stop these weekly marches.

Why should it be? People should be free to protest, surely?

There are some strange people on Twitter/X. Someone was talking about the guy who got his head kicked. So I said what about the police women who got her nose broken?

Suddenly people reply to me acting like I was for the head kick. Can't these people think about 2 things at once!?

Today will show the 2 tier policing.
Last time this happened there was full riot gear and horses.

Yet people in Leeds set fire to buses, flip police cars over and nothing gets done.

It’s gone a little bit beyond a protest do you not think?
They are pro Hamas marches.

Kind of related .... There's an anti immigration protest run by Tommy Robinson today. Let's see if the police run away from this and give into their demands........

This is veering off topic but I didnt realise there was a march today.. its funny that the main stream rags refuse to report anything like this. Do they fear some form of uprising or is it a simple case of it not being as clickbait as a ‘minority’ protest?

I don’t agree with the chaps politics but he’s going to be getting a lot more support and the media(and government) really arent helping.

The protest is in part about 2 tier policing so will be interesting to see what happens.

They refuse to cover a lot of things. And that is part of the problem here.

I don't recall seeing any of the Leeds riots covered by main stream media.

Not pretending. It's true.

It's not though is it, it’s a huge exaggeration based on a tiny number of incidents relative to the size of the Jewish population in said cities.

Similarly I could go down the hyperbolic route and say muslims are constantly living in fear due to Islamophobia.

Fact is most Jewish and Muslim people in the UK do not get abused or targeted for their religion. Some do and that sucks but it’s by no means the standard.

That sounded straight from the khan handbook

I see you've edited your message since .....

The irony of your comment is amazing.

Leeds riots were headline news on all the major news outlets, TV and digital???

It is true. If you're Jewish and you go anywhere near one of these weekly protests it's assumed they are anti Gaza pro Israel.

The aggressive nature of the protests can be seen in these auditor videos with protesters assuming they are far right. They get followed around, people purposely pushing into them, flags and banners put in there faces etc. There is a lot of paranoia on the protests.

They are generally hostile. Most of the trouble causers are white left wing agitators.

Similarly I could go down the hyperbolic route and say muslims are constantly living in fear due to Islamophobia.

Some are. No doubt they get backlash from the attitude of the protests.

Fact is most Jewish and Muslim people in the UK do not get abused or targeted for their religion. Some do and that sucks but trying to make out they can’t live in big cities without experiencing grief is comical levels of nnonsense.

Under normal circumstances I would agree with you.
