If Police Are Seen As Part Of The Problem, It's A National Crisis

[naomi24]

Although the police appear to respond swiftly to incidents that aren't criminal offences, a failure to act on anti-Semitic behaviour at a recent pro-Palestine march in London, prompted this article from Stephen Pollard, former editor of the Jewish Chronicle.  It makes interesting reading.

Are the Police part of the problem?

 We have got freedom of speech and expression in this country, or have we?. When does freedom of speech become a crime?.

The slogan 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' does NOT push a very intolerant view that Israel must be obliterated. It just pushes a desire for an indepedent Palestinian state. No obliterating, no wiping away Israel, just a desire to live on their land.

How about the calls for jihad, gromit?

I'm sure I can't be the only one who finds it strange that referring to somebody who has a penis as a man, despite themselves calling themselves a woman, is worthy of a visit from Dibble and censure from AB, and yet a Hamas supporter on this site, a proscribed terrorist organisation, who refers to them as "freedom fighters" is allowed to spout that hate under the umbrella of 'free speech'. 
 

Supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation is not free speech, it's illegal.

That person is a disgrace.

I'm astonished AB has allowed sandyRoes support of the "freedom fighters" to stand, and yet much much lesser comments get  censored.

I'm actually happy they're allowed to stay, despite being illegal (as far as I'm aware it is illegal in the UK to openly support a proscribed terrorist organisation) just to show other AB'ers of that person's abdication of any morality.

That person is a disgrace.

Gromit at 5.04 - that's a romantic and naive interpretation.

The people screaming that slogan do so for different reasons to your whimsical reason.

You are wrong there T³. If Plod trawls Twittokfacegram then it's to spot someone using the right pronoun.

[Old_Geezer]

One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. It's a well known and oft quoted fact. All groups will be judged by their actions and excess violence simply leads to further hatred & conflict in a downward spiral.

Yer terrorists learn from history that if they can only hold on long enough they will become legitimate voice of the people types.

It's just how the world works.
