Does that make them good Jews? Reminds me of the bad Muslims who don’t condemn Islamic terrorist attacks with sufficient speed and vigour.

Who am I to say you're wrong
No but I lost the tweet I was going to quote.Does that make them good Jews? Reminds me of the bad Muslims who don’t condemn Islamic terrorist attacks with sufficient speed and vigour.
Jews supporting Palestine is good to show & disassociate Jews in general from the Israeli state.
MrSki
Who am I to say you're wrong
Well according to Reddit who originally posted it.
With the arrests though I have my doubts.

I’m British. Why would I need to ‘dissociate’ myself from Israel?
MrSki
Who am I to say you're wrong
I was more thinking about idiots who shout abuse about Palestine at any Jew rather than holding the Israeli state to account at their actions.
Sorry but have not put this across very well.

I've got no idea if it's genuine, but in and of itself arrests don't have to mean anything,Well according to Reddit who originally posted it.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
No but I lost the tweet I was going to quote.
So British Jews are proxies for the state of Israel unless, and until, they prove their soundness on the Palestinian issue to you or some other self-appointed moral guardian?
You've not put it well because your starting point is dumber than a fucking house brick, and would doubtless have you howling in outrage were it expressed about any other ethnic or religious group.
MrSki
Who am I to say you're wrong
That is not what I said.
No Jew regardless of nationality should be harassed because of the actions of the state of Israel. Is that clearer for you?

All sorts of just causes (such as the Palestinian cause) attract wankers sadly

MrSki for years and years i felt that it was necessary for me AS A JEW to show up at every anti-occupation protest, often on my tod and stand there, not quite able to join in with from the river to the sea. Some (not all) of that compulsion was to please / appease people like you. I don't feel that way any more. Whats the point.
eta on a slightly more positive note i joined in with a zoom thing yesterday from these people Na'amod – British Jews Against Occupation
and there were just under 200 of us tiny boxes on there. I don't know how much i can help with their stated goal of changing majority opinion in 'the british jewish community' as i don't really know many jews but the fact that it exists it is something.

No pasaran!
It would seem some folk on the far-right in this country have taken tips from their cousins across the pond. Interesting how there's no mention of this incident or a similar one in London.

Strangely enough, it's reported on Wales Online but not the Ailing Standards.

This is long, but really good, imo. A lot of what he's talking about wrt the narrative many jews are taught, and cling to, i recognise well from my own upbringing and family.

A Jewish case for Palestinian refugee return
The long read: As fraught and imperfect as efforts at historical justice can be, consider what happens when they do not occur. The crimes of the past, when left unaddressed, do not remain in the past

Shit, you're right, this is the link for tonight: Freedom From Occupation, Freedom From Violence Although it's all a bit secretive, seems like you have to sign up first and then get an email with a meeting point?
Yeah I'd imagine they have to be careful to avoid wrong un's trying to infiltrate.
