"It feels much better than it ever did, much more sensitive." John Wayne Bobbit

My family came from Krakow in Poland my nan and granddad escaped and came to britain just before the the rest of the Jews including my nan and granddads family were rounded up in the ghetto and then sent to the placzow labour camp never to be seen again. My grandfather was a polish fighter attached to the british para regiment and fought in market garden. Antifa and the left has always been rife with anti semitism. Its debatable if Fascism is left or right wing especially since the nazis were committed socialists. Also the lefties love ripping into Israelis and calling them invaders despite it was the arabs that kicked them out in the first place. Anti semitism has never been taken seriously and the left are rife with it.

Yes one or two generations back not 200 years. Where do reparations actually end. I want some money from the french because over a 1000 years ago I was forced to be Anglo.

Maybe if it were something that had stopped, it wouldn't still be an issue for those calling for it.

You mention France for instance, they continue to benefit from their "former" colonies to the tune of something like 500 billion.

The 14 French African colonies, when offered independence were asked to sign to sign a document called the Pact for Continued colonization. In exchange for political independence they had to deposit 85% of their financial resources with the french central bank in operating accounts. They then could apply for up to 20% back in loans from france after they presented full financial statements to the French treasury. Two countries refused, Mali and Guinea, so the french put concrete in the sewers and destroyed much of the infrastructure, as they said they built it. The other countries then signed up.

To this day, they can still access only around 50% of their own money, although it varies.

Jacques Chirac former President, was quoted to have said in 2008, that without Africa, france would be a third rate power.

They are most certainly a minority in terms of involvement so that perspective is vital, but as I stated before it's a no-brainer that disruptive elements of all political persuasions jump on protests. It's the ultimate free lunch, carnage you can blame on those with a cause you oppose.

Case in point, The Joint Terrorism Task Force just charged three far right individuals who allegedly sought to exploit protests and incite violence In Las Vegas with conspiracy to damage and destroy by fire and explosive; possession of unregistered firearms and Molotov cocktails and conspiracy to Commit an Act of Terrorism amongst other things [Link]

They should be commended as they snuff out any and all individuals intent on turning protests violent. Examples of the footage of attempted murder by rioters that we've seen should allow them to get yet more scum off the streets.
