O/T the Jewish community

In an ideal world as you put it people would have a common shred of decency after people got murdered yes that’s correct murdered. If you believe that they were just protesting against what’s happening in Palestine you are deluded. It was a clear message to the Jewish community that you aren’t safe and the scenes where they were scrapping with the police shows them for what they are. Violent criminals.
Same as the far right thugs too when they do it. Yet not as much condemnations about those last night. Votes matter though.
I hope your wife stays safe because Jews aren’t safe.

Thank you. But if the people doing the Gaza protests aren't just protesting about Palestine, what else are they protesting about? I know several people who have attended anti Genocide protests and none of them have any other issues they are bringing into this. They are just as appalled by the actions of the Israeli givernment, as my wife and most of her family are.

Re government not condemning, haven't the government formally condemned the Palestine Action as officially terrorist? Isn't that quite condemning? Poor Starmer is getting pelters from even moderate centre lefties on that verdict, so rock and hard place there!

I quite like the words from the Heaton Park chief Rabbi:

“We have also been strengthened by the countless expressions of solidarity that have poured in, not only from across the Jewish community but from faith leaders, from political leaders and, from neighbours of every background. In our darkest hour, you have shown us that we do not stand alone. Your embrace reminds us that love and compassion remain stronger than hate."

Again, personally I would like all of the Palestinian protests organised for this weekend to be relabelled something like Multi Faith Peace demonstration, to show solidarity with the Jewish community and all other religious faiths that suffer hatred and attacks, none more so than the Mulsim community themselves who will also be facing attacks over this. . Don't think it will happen but in my world, it would.

I applaud your sentiments raging but it will never happen.
Any form of violence against any faith religion should be stopped.
I’m sick of people thinking it’s ok to commit harm to someone because of religion etc. society has gone now. Last night at the game 2 RUFC fans were calling Bradford fans paki lovers. I called them out it’s disgusting.
I’ve got strong views on the left but I would never ever think in any way shape or form that it’s ok to commit violence against anyone.
These marches I understand I do but they have been hijacked by thugs, hooligans and anarchists
