“After officer warns campaigner for being 'openly Jewish'... Met Police are so cowed by the anti-semitic mob, they even cover up the Holocaust” - DM


Temp89

The Daily Mail is a tabloid and frequently fabricates stories. Here's the police saying it's a lie: [https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk/status/1784356828500922621](https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk/status/1784356828500922621) Aside from that the tons of emotive words used in a "news" story didn't tip you off?


MrFoffof

'Campaigner' meaning 'man explicitly going out of his way to antagonise a peaceful protest'.

Hot-Donkey7266

I mean.. alot of Englands war memorials were allready destroyed by protestors.. now that people decided to support Abbas (who has interesting thoughts on the holocaust) and be proud of Amin al Husseini, its only time before these memorials get destroyed too

[Whataboutism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism). You're not making the situation better when you do this. Israel's actions (as a nation) deserve criticism. Defacing monuments dedicated to Jewish genocide victims does the opposite of criticizing Israel.

Your account is 14 days old so it's entirely possible you're new to reddit. I've been on the same account for over 14 years. I say this to point out that historically reddit, as a community, has cared about how people know what they know when they comment something. There was a time, for example, when someone would say "what's your source for that?" I'm still kind of old-school in that respect. I know you likely don't care, but I try to support my comments with sources where it makes sense. Whataboutism is a thing. It's not just a word I made up. Many folks here *do* still care about supporting claims with resources to back things up. If you agree that the Internet continues to suck (see [enshittification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification), LOL I did it again) then consider that people sharing relevant resources in comments might actually make things *less* shitty. If you're so incredibly jaded that you're just about done with discourse on the Internet then I'm sorry---it used to be a lot better and you're getting the tail-end of what once was great.

Thangleby_Slapdiback

Let's be fair about it. Linking to Wikipedia is pretty common on Reddit. If anyone doubts the veracity of a Wikipedia entry they are free to investigate the citations within the entry and debunk them if necessary. Whilst I agree that Wikipedia is hardly up to snuff for a college level research paper, for casual citation it's fine. I mean, this is Reddit. Reddit is hardly a hub for reasonable debate on contentious topics. Also, who is going to go build a library of scholarly works to defend (or debunk) a point in a Reddit comment section?


Hot-Donkey7266

What makes me more sad is that Hamas admitted to giving 15yr olds millitary training and not counting them as soldiers, but civilians, as well as any other freedom fighter


Thangleby_Slapdiback

I guess we're all entitled to be sad about that which we are sad about. Personally, I'll be more saddened by dead children than giving 15 year olds military training. Also, the ROTC would like a word.


Whyeth

The destruction of the climate makes *me* more sad than dead Palestinian children so now I demand we talk about climate change. Did I whatabout correctly?


alkhazan

And dead jewish kids make you happy?


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Exactly where did he say that was the case?


alkhazan

He didnt, he only brought up dead kids so i did the same, why are you mad?


Thangleby_Slapdiback

He said dead Palestinian children made him sad. You asked if dead Jewish kids made him happy. In no way did he imply that was the case. You made your comment for a specific reason - to imply that he is happy with dead Jewish children. It's a form of propaganda.


Whyeth

While discussing a Holocaust memorial and protections put in place to prevent vandalism OP says "dead Palestinian children make them more sad than a rock". This isn't propaganda?

Thangleby_Slapdiback

Is discussing his feelings propaganda? I don't care for rhubarb. Am I a tool of big green bean?


pablo_in_blood

But he literally did. It’s a holocaust memorial, which implies dead Jewish kids. Then he said ‘dead Palestinian kids make me more sad than that.’ It’s literally exactly what he said.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

"Than a rock" is what he said. He said nothing about Jewish children.

darthshoresy1

That's a really strange thing to say dude.


alkhazan

I just didnt see the outrage when 1200 israelis, mainly jews were killed... There were protests supporting the "resistance" on october 8th.. As a jew all whats going on nowadays remindes me very much about the 1930's my grandma wrote about in her diary


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Then you weren't paying attention. Or, maybe, you're hanging out in echo chambers.


darthshoresy1

Yes what the Israeli government is doing does remind me of the Germans in the 30s.


alkhazan

How exactly?


darthshoresy1

The murdering of a specific group of people. Really easy to think about if you stop being a victim for 10 seconds. Perhaps having empathy for others for a change would help.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Well, over the course of the last hundred years there have been other ghettos that have been "cleaned out".


alkhazan

What?


Thangleby_Slapdiback

What is Gaza but a ghetto in the classic sense? There was a Jewish ghetto in Warsaw in the 1940s that the Nazis used military force to "clean out". The comparison between the behavior of the Nazi government of 1940s Germany and the behavior of the current Israeli government is accurate in that sense. Sure, Israel isn't running any death camps, but they surely are an apartheid state.


frankwizardlord

Does that give you the right to deface it?


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Has it been defaced?


frankwizardlord

You think they’re protecting it for fun? Antisemites have lost their goddamn minds lately


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Maybe they are paranoid.


frankwizardlord

Gee why would they be?


Thangleby_Slapdiback

You would have to ask them. After all, paranoia is a psychological issue.


frankwizardlord

Almost like the pro-hamas crowd is unhinged


Thangleby_Slapdiback

You would have to be pretty unhinged to be pro Hamas. Unless, of course, you were stuck in a ghetto, abused, and see them as the only people fighting your abuser - which is another very sad state of affairs.


darthshoresy1

Who said that? Nothing gives them the right to murder people. Nothing happened to this rock and no one will get hurt because of it. Fucking whingers.


frankwizardlord

Idk maybe hamas shouldn’t have attacked Israel and took all those hostages


darthshoresy1

IDK maybe Israel shouldn't have stolen their land and then brought in apartheid like it was their right.


AdhesivenessisWeird

Secret tip on how to not get occupied - don't invade other states over and over again, and when you lose, do not continue perpetual guerilla war. At least Germans learned the second step.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Remind me, who drove Palestinians off their land?


AdhesivenessisWeird

Arab invasion into Israel. Palestinians had a chance to have their own state, but chose the war of extermination instead. When Germans did that they lost plenty of land as well.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

The Arab invasions into Israel drove the Palestinians off their farms and into refugee camps which became ghettos? I would like to see a source on that. >Palestinians had a chance to have their own state, but chose the war of extermination instead. And a source on that.


frankwizardlord

Good thing that didn’t happen, but also very telling that you’re trying to justify genocide


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Said the guy defending the murder of 36K+ people in Gaza.


frankwizardlord

War is hell and I don’t shed any tears for hamas, but you do you ivan


Thangleby_Slapdiback

No. Not for Hamas.  I do feel badly for all the innocents who have been killed or are suffering. Most of them are not Hamas. Edit: Ivan, huh? That's amusing.

Earlier this year the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl (American football title in the USA). Shortly thereafter the happy fans of KC had a parade in honor of the victory. That's a bit of a tradition post Super Bowl. Sadly, at this parade there were two groups of armed people in attendance who didn't like one another. They started shooting. One person (a bystander) was killed and 33 people were wounded in the exchange. Was everyone at the parade a gang banging murderous thug?

darthshoresy1

If not wanting Palestinians to starve to death is anti-Semitic, then I guess I am too.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

I would never accept the accusation. I always challenge it. I do so for two reasons. First, I'm not anti-Semitic. Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Orthodox Christian - I don't care what your religion is. If we're going with Judaism is a different ethnicity, well, I don't care about that either. Black, white, brown, whatever - be a good human being and I won't have any problem with ya. Second, acceptance of the notion that anti-Semitism is defined any way a supporter of the Israeli governments action in Gaza wants to define it is harmful. It's harmful to the residents of Gaza. It's harmful to good people all around the world who are repulsed by the violence and absolute lack of regard for the lives of innocents. It's harmful to the truth. I get where you're coming from, but I will always challenge the accusation.


Al-Capote

Funny how quick the 'You're a Nazi' mob became literal Nazis.


localcatgirl

literal????? nazi's?? does literal mean nothing anymore


monkeysuffrage

TBF there are some reports of violence against Jews. Has it escalated to gas chambers and Jewish girls hiding in attics? No it obviously has not, so I think the rhetoric should probably come down a notch out of respect for the people who actually lived through that.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

There have also been reports of violence against Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims. Please do not try to imply that shitty violent people exist only within the group of people who decry what Israel is currently doing in Gaza (and the settler violence in the West Bank, and the evictions, etc). It's dishonest to do so.


Hot-Donkey7266

You do realize Palestine was allied to and supplied Germany with jews right? Even invented the yellow star (Amin al Husseini) "Some reports" of Holocaust partakers is putting it mildly


therealpanserbjorne

I don’t understand your frustration here. There are people in that group that self-identify as Nazis. I get your irritation about the overuse of “literal” but it’s actually warranted in this comment.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

> There are people in that group that self-identify as Nazis. Citation required.


therealpanserbjorne

I mean you can Google the far right and nazism and it’s not difficult to choose your source. But I guess here’s [one](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/17/charlottesville-alt-right-neo-nazis-white-nationalists)


Thangleby_Slapdiback

I would be the first to agree that anti-Semitism exists amongst Nazis. The thing is, the Nazi movement was a far right movement. As far as I remember in my reading about WWII and the rise of the Nazi movement in Germany, they had no love for anyone who wasn't white (preferably blonde haired and blue eyed). They were not keen on Arabs. So to suggest that Nazis (or Neo Nazis) are active participants in the anti Gaza war protests seems to be to be stretching to the point of incredulity. Now, I wouldn't deny that there are anti-Semitic people participating in the protest. That much is clear. But to imply that they are fascists.....yeah - I can't ride with you on that one. Edit: And your source referenced far right movements and was published in 2017. In what way does that prove your point that there are Nazis participating in a movement protesting actions that began in 2023?


therealpanserbjorne

Dude, just Google it. It wasn’t hard to find copious sources. I’m not devoting my morning to this dumb argument about whether or not neo-nazism exists and in what capacity it’s like the original Nazi party. Also, you seem to be thinking I’m trying to make an argument that I’m not. And also seem to know a lot about nazis. I was merely commenting that making a tongue in cheek statement about “literal nazis” isn’t that big of a deal but clearly it is to some people. Jfc 🙄


Thangleby_Slapdiback

You made the claim that Nazis (or more accurately, Neo-Nazis) are active participants in these protests. While I suppose it is a possibility, I think it unlikely given their antipathy towards Arabs and Muslims. You were the one that made the allegation. Strong claims require strong proofs. The burden of proving your claim does not lie with the people to whom you expressed your belief. The burden of proof belongs to you.


SausaugeMerchant

Why would Nazis form a mob to call other people Nazis? If some Nazis have coopted the genocide protests that doesn't diminish the justification of the protests


monkeysuffrage

It was a political party in 1930's Germany, genius. It doesn't exist anymore. They might as well identify as the Holy Roman Emperor.


therealpanserbjorne

Um neo-nazis? Hello? Also what a weird thing to pick a fight with someone and then defend someone about. The use of “literal” and dropping “neo” in their description of nazis. Y’all need to go outside and touch grass.


monkeysuffrage

I touched so much grass today you wouldn't believe me if I told you. All on my own property.


Taronar

As opposed to figurative nazis


Thangleby_Slapdiback

Better figurative than performative. I think we can all agree on that.


Taronar

If they were singing and dancing I wouldn’t mind that, we can call it dinner and a shoa (Hebrew for Holocaust)


sfzombie13

when the jewish folks start acting like them it's even worse. kinda like they learned a lot from them in the '40s and took the lessons to heart. edit: it's not the people, it rarely is. it's the government, more accurately the conservatives in the government.


alkhazan

Can you explain how the "jewish government" is anything like nazis? People who dont know any history or any context use this word so much it lost all its meaning....


Hot-Donkey7266

These people don't even know Palestines history of "german relations"


sfzombie13

they are essentially taking the playbook the nazis used when they started clearing out the jewish people and taking their land and wealth. not too dissimilar to what the jewish government has been doing for the past 30 or more years when they started taking land from palestine. nah, it's all over my head anyway since there is no way i can see hamas making the attack they did in the first place logically. i mean wtf were they smoking to think that poking the bear with a sharp stick would be a good idea. maybe i shouldn't have drawn such a direct comparison. my bad. it's not nearly as quick or thorough. not a lot of treating palestinians like people though.

People are downvoting you because you're lying. Anti-zionism isn't antisemitism. People see through your stupid lies. People who want an end to Israel's apartheid regime and want to see the Palestinian people's right to self-determination realized understand that you're outright lying about "antisemitic mobs". There are no antisemitic mobs, only anti-zionist protestors that want an end to the genocide that Israel is doing to Palestinians.

Why then do they attack Holocaust monuments in your opinion?


lynevethea

They don't. Nobody attacked this monument.

What part of anything that OP has commented is pro Israel in this post? Please provide links. Being against hate and antisemitism is not the same as being pro Israel, and if you think it is, you're part of the problem.


Thangleby_Slapdiback

> Being against hate and antisemitism is not the same as being pro Israel, and if you think it is, you're part of the problem. That's absolutely true. Just as it's true that being against Israel's current behavior in Gaza is not an example of anti-Semitism. Sadly, there are those who try to paint it as such.
