Originally posted by Spiderman So how many demonstrators showing support for Hamas have been arrested, let alone imprisoned.? I think you are backing the wrong horse here. Surely anti semetism is illegal, how many arrested? If it was a Tommy Robinson led demonstration how different it would be Does anybody seriously think the police are adopting double standards over this? When the police’s primary responsibility is to keep people safe this can lead to situations in which to arrest those committing illegal acts would threaten their ability to do so. In such circumstances they need to make a very difficult judgement call. One that those observing may well disagree with, but don’t have to take any responsibility for making, or have to face the consequences if they get it wrong. So I can well understand why any commanding officer might err on the side of caution and decide to stand back from arresting those involved in relatively minor crimes rather than risking actions that could result in the loss of life. It’s unpalatable and regrettable but also inevitable. I am quite sure the same thinking is applied to anything involving Yaxley-Lennon. The difference with him is that he deliberately courts arrest for the publicity it brings him.

Originally posted by eagleman13 A huge amount of policemen/women ARE fluent in Arabic. They have been specifically recruited for this very purpose. C'mon Wissie, keep up. On what do you base this claim? I can find nothing at all to support it, and very much doubt it’s true, but am prepared to be convinced. That officers have been trained to use greetings in a variety of languages in London is merely a reflection of today’s multicultural reality. It’s little different to anyone visiting Spain saying Hola rather than Hello. It doesn’t mean they are fluent!

Palestine is not Hamas! Palestine is actually the area between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea. An area which includes the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and modern Israel. Politically this now refers to the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Hamas control the Gaza Strip, but that doesn’t mean everyone living there supports Hamas. It has a presence in the West Bank too, but the Palestinian Authority administers things there whilst Israel controls the security. So countries supporting Palestine are not supporting Hamas.

I agree. And that sickening song they sing "from the river to the sea" is about genocide of Israel and it's Jewish population.

Yeah, they are, otherwise alongside their statements about it being an area or country or whatever wording they used they should have put in brackets, like this: ( once Hamas are gone).

I get why some people equate all Palestinians with HAMAS. But a HAMS regime was just a result of their voting system where there were really no other viable candidates. A bit like saying all Germans were Nazi's or everyone in the UK/US wanted the Gulf War Blair and Bush took us into, Most Palestinians were hugely discriminated against by Israel, had land stolen, and some were arrested and killed. HAMAS offered some kind of hope that this might stop. But then, that's politics for you Edited by Forest Hillbilly (24 May 2024 7.01am) I disengage, I turn the page.

Originally posted by eaglesdare Yes I thought I would say it anyway.... There was barely a peep out of them and I stand by that. They are all pro palestime / Hamas anyway. A complete embarrassment to the rest of the world as per usual. Edited by eaglesdare (23 May 2024 8.50pm) At least you’re honest about being a liar I guess. Most of the rest of the world already recognise Palestine as a state so not sure why Ireland’s position would make them an embarrassment. I think supporting a genocide is far more embarrassing, personally.
