I don’t attend marches; never have, never will. So your assumption is that I don’t care about anything the marches stand for. Wrong! It’s just my personal choice not to do something that others feel obliged to do. Sorry if my freedom of choice doesn’t sit comfortably with you.
So, if the UK government stated that they wanted a ceasefire, the marches would stop?
If Israel had done nothing after the attack on them and just used words, then the people on the marches would now be marching demanding the release of the hostages and waving Israeli flags?
I just see people hiding behind one-sided compassion ( genuine or otherwise), whilst atrocities elsewhere in the world are ignored. Sure it is difficult to align various terrorists in the same manner, but it appears that their victims are all Christian, or at least of a different faith, so there is a similarity. I’m just surprised that the people on the marches aren’t attending a mass candle lighting event somewhere to demonstrate support for those victims. But that would be unfashionable.

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

I’m using the exact logic you applied to protestors to you… that was the whole point. Sorry if their freedom of choice doesn’t sit comfortably with you.

As I said above, the rest is just whatabouttery on steroids - it’s completely obvious why this particular atrocity, in which we are complicit, has evoked such strong reactions. The existence of other atrocities in the world does nothing to change that reality.

Britain.

Not that irrelevant apparently as the British state recently committed to building a holocaust museum near parliament.

As we are a client state of the US on many matters we are indirectly aligned.

So are you saying everyone in Britain is complicit?

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

It's hard to know what you mean but all opinions welcome

Hate to be pedantic after my " semantics " but the nation is called the United Kingdom
