Unite the Kingdom and Pro Palestine marches Cup 16th May 2026

We have foxie, and it was worth re-reading to see if any of the accusations against it were factual.
Couldn't find any evidence to support them.

Thank you foxie for your post. It was clear to me and others.

sixandahalf do you know that Oreo is Jewish?

I think she knows a fair bit about antisemitism, not just in her head…

GG13 we are talking about this Thread.

There is no evidence of anti semitism on this Thread.
We would all have reported such a post.

Dr Margaret Connolly sister of the Irish President Catherine Connolly has been kidnapped in international waters by the IOF along with others in several boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla.

In her video, Dr Connolly said: “If you are watching this video, it means I have been kidnapped from my boat in the flotilla by the Israeli occupying forces, and I’m now being held illegally in an Israeli prison.

“I am so proud to be taking part in this flotilla -it is the largest to date.”

She added: “I feel utterly compelled – as a mother, a doctor, and as a human being – to help in this flotilla.

“The cause of Palestine is the moral compass of our time, it is what makes us human. Their humanity is our humanity.”

Correct, so where exactly is the antisemitism on this thread or any other please?

Where has anybody, ever said horrible things about Jewish people, agreed with hatred and violence? Where?

Kidnapped! That is shocking.

A Poster zapped?

IMHO Islamophobia and anti semitism are different aspects of the same thing ie racism . The Klu Klux clan believed in white supremacy and focused on skin colour rather than religion but they still saw minority groups like Jews, Roman Catholics, immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community as well as black Americans as inferior and white protestants as superior. I have a feeling that if you scratched the surface of Unite the Kingdom, you would find many aspects of white supremacy. Certainly the Nationalistic tone, flag waving and link to Nationalistic Christianity should act as a concern.

I hope they are treated humanely.

It is concerning.
But, from all reports, the numbers are down compared to the last march.
So, if you take away the 'innocent' marchers, who are not in tune with any racism, racism, the numbers are even lower.
All depends on how many folk were simply protesting, and on a family day out.

Well, she did know it was a possibility, of course, and took that risk to do what she thought was right, as the video recording was made before she was detained.

Brave to do that.

They all know they will never reach Gaza and will be detained, there’s no bravery involved.
They’re also well treated and sent home.

They are brave to face the treatment meted out to any held captive, by that armed force, as witnessed by Palestinians who have been imprisoned by them.
As witnessed by the abuse suffered by Greta Thunberg.

Brave woman. Hope she is released soon. And all the others.

I don't believe they will be well treated. There is no evidence of humane treatment there and they know that so they are brave.

deleted? Nice.

Anybody? Please?

There isn't any antisemitism on GN. I have been on for 8 years and not seen any. It's a ploy used by some to discredit what others are saying.

Happen to agree with you AGAA4.

I completely agree.

A hatred or other negative feelings, actions or speech to any one cohort or group of people who are different to yourself is simply put, discrimination
