[QUOTE=Crossnerd]Edit: RULES FOR THIS THREAD

2+2 Rules

Posting guidelines for Politics and Soci...


These are our baselines. We're not reinventing the wheel here. If you aren't sure if something is acceptable to post, its better to ask first. If you think someone is posting something that violates the above guidelines, please report it or PM me rather than responding in kind.

To reiterate some of the points:

1. No personal attacks. This is a broad instruction, but, in general, we want to focus on attacking an argument rather than the poster making it. It is fine to say a post is antisemitic; it is not okay to call someone an antisemite over and over. If you believe someone is making antisemitic posts, report them or PM me. The same goes for calling people "baby killers" and "genocide lovers". You are allowed to argue that an action supports genocide or that the consequences of certain policies results in the death of children, but we are no longer going to be speaking to one another's intentions. It is not productive to the conversation and doesn't further any debate.

2. Racist posts and other bigoted statements that target a particular group or individuals of such groups with derogatory comments are not allowed. This should not need further explanation.

3. Graphic Images need to be in spoilers with a trigger warning.

4. Wishing Harm on other posters will result in an immediate timeout.

5. Genocidal statements such as "Kill 'em all" etc, are no longer permissible in the thread.

If anyone has any questions about the above, please PM me. I don't want a discussion about the rules to derail the content of this thread. If anything needs clarifying, I will do that in this thread.

Please be aware this thread is strictly moderated[/quote]

we're talking about the police threatening to arrest a guy for being openly jewish


They don't love freedom in the UK and they like to arrest Jews doing peaceful protest.

thats not the feeling I get but ok. good thing it has nothing to do with Palestine or its suppporters! and good thing Jews are safe, even the ones woh they support, fund, and commit genocide.

No it's not nonsense, a copper represents a state's authority via enforcing the law. State representatives stating that a dude's presence is provocative due to his religion/ethnicity- in this case Jewish- shows that London isn't currently fine for Jews.


Then again despite the claims of how bad it is, no-one was attacking him. Despite some saying he was provoking them.

How can you spin that into it being bad? Because some policeman has been stupid? have you never met any police?

similar to the Likud "river to the sea" thing, they will never address this. I think we all know why.

No, the anti-Palestinian side say it's not about that and it's about London not being "fine" for Jewish people. Except you, that is, an actual Jewish person who's actually in London.

But no, let's instead take it from a few dumb people thousands of miles away that they know better.

I'm talking about the people in this thread who are constantly crying about antisemitism while they support what Israel is doing in Gaza. If the country you openly support is carrying out a massive systematic slaughter of a captive population then I would suggest you need to toughen up a bit and stop crying about being a victim.

So because of what’s going on in the Middle East, no other bad things can occur in the world?? Interesting…


by rafiki P

I have a pretty good idea of Vic's list. But jalfrezi, can I have YOUR list of countries that you take this much issue with? Like ballpark, it's ok if Israel tops your list. What others are in the ballpark for you?

When you're ready. Your list of countries you're this concerned with.


by jalfrezi P

i gave an account of my personal experience of living in london as a non-conspicuous jew, and noted that i dont feel unsafe. however, its obvious to me how someone might see that hugely problematic indecent involving the police threatening the guy with arrest due to his open jewishness, and decide to give london a miss

if you cant also see that then its because of the hate

i can honestly say to my jewish american (and canadian) pals itt that london is absolutely fine if, like me, you dont wear any of the stuff and pass as a generic white guy. 100% no problems guaranteed

What does it mean when Likud says it?

Something similar. But it's not in the Israeli constitution and Lukid will likely be voted out


by Brian James P

Playing the victim card while you are slaughtering a captive population which has nowhere to escape to and which you massively outgun is disgusting.

Some of you people should be ashamed of yourselves. If you were capable of feeling shame that is, which I doubt.


You should be ashamed for not demanding hostages be returned before any ceasefire

Israel should allow a country to attack them and do nothing? They not only ignore the people who died but eff the hostages too?

Hamas poked the bear

They have rejected the last 3 ceasefire agreements because they don't want to release hostages

But you want Israel to just stop

You are the one who should be ashamed


This is of course about jews
Victor loves seeing Ukrainians die

In Ukraine if we don't differentiate soldiers from civilians just like you don't like to in Gaza, there's been about a million deaths

But no genocide!


by Victor P

lol the guy claiming Jews are unsafe in London says that he in fact is not unsafe in London. you kinda gave up the game here bruvski.

This may be the dumbest post in this thread. And that says a lot.

Despite what you believe, Jews don’t actually have super long noses or horns.


by Victor P

it does now.

there needs to be a new term for the previous meaning of antisemitism. Israelis stole antisemitism.

Kind of like how you guys have completely changed the definition of occupied and genocide amirite


by Victor P

the Palestinians

Palestinians are a cultural structure, they don't actually exist

Gazeans had 183636993 chances to ****ing leave the hell hole Hamas created there (because of their support).

Everyone who didn't leave chose this.

What, you want me to rank all the countries according to my view of how shitty they are? Why? That's too much work.

But post South-African apartheid, Israel is first. Then some mixture of some other ME countries, China, the US mainly for its executions, Russia, Hungary, Poland, the UK, Italy. Not sure about a lot of the others. Apart from Switzerland of course. **** Switzerland.


I mean, the USA is certainly worse than Israel. but after that its whatever.
