This.
But the classic anti-semitic conflating of; the fear of some Jewish people in Germany and the nationalism/crimes by hard liners in Israel.
Some people in this country have become selective humanitarians. Quite frightening.
I dismiss those left wing apologists on this. The hard left anti semites have referred to the Holocaust, the Rothschild ramblings, and even praised David Icke’s stance that Jews are aliens. Not hearsay ..... people have been thrown out of the Labour Party for this. Others are under...
The internet has given a platform to nationalists, anti semites, you name it. Gaining hitherto unlikely support.
My hope is that the rest of us, challenge the hate and win at the ballot box (past these virtually meaningless Euro elections).
Good post. Many people of Jewish faith are against the actions of the right wing Israeli government, and no abuser would know her views.
There’s often hypocrisy from these one eyed bigots. Variously turning a blind eye to murderous regimes in Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, UAE...
Is one of my core beliefs. I made that plain in post #38.

Yep definitely, against all violence outside the boxing ring.
But minorities in many parts of the world face a tangible threat the moment they leave their front doors, purely because they look different or don’t tick the right boxes as held the majority of locals. I feel for the daily fear...

(I’m personally not religious btw).

But where a majority/people holding power in a location, target people who don’t look like them or have a different way a life, I feel for the victims.
Not interested in the political arguments particularly; just the fact that a minority, face violence or threats or discrimination. Purely a...
Same here.
But I feel for minorities particularly and don’t hold it against them if they worship a faith. Whether it be a Bangladeshi beaten up in a UK town, a black person by police in the USA, a Jew in Germany or a Palestinian in Tel Aviv.
I was simply commenting on the murderous attacks on Jews 85 years ago in Germany, and now the new threat in the very same country.
I condemn the latter. Any decent human being would.
