    led crowds in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF” [The BBC said:] “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable … " [Starmer said:] “appalling hate speech.”

    “Free Palestine” is not antisemitic. Criticism of a nation state’s armed forces is not antisemitic. Especially when those armed forces are objectively committing genocide.

      Pfft…

      Only the rational and reasonable buy into what you’re putting forth here…

      Which completely and entirely excludes any/all MAGAts and other assorted fascist/authoritarian types that appear to be consuming gov’ts globally.

    When did IDF become a protected minority group? Is saying “Death to Nazis” not allowed in the UK?

        Gotta be fair to the genocide force of course.

        Like they’re not an ethnic group or comprised of innocents. This is a force whose express intent is genocide and displacement.

            It’s a quote. From the guy in the article… you also didn’t remove the other people mentioning it here…

            Gotta protect the poor organization formed explicitly for genocide…

            Can’t see how you are doing exactly what the UK police is doing? 😂

            Would you also just follow orders when the Nazis tell you to?
