Articles say they were “verbally abusive” but none of them actually say what was said.
There’s no way to say who was in the right here.
If they went up to someone in hacidic garb and said:
Do you support Israel genociding Palestine?
Well, people can ask questions if you’re in public. It’s shitty to bother people but it’s legal.
If they were just screaming “zionazi” at anyone that looked Jewish, then yeah, that’s illegal.
I should be able to look at this headline and article and think, fuck those people and move on. Instead, I can only think, what did they actually say or do, what did the other people say before, during and after. I don’t want to defend anti Semitism but can’t be sure when it’s actually being committed or not unless I see it all myself
Can’t you trust The Guardian?
No.
Not as much as I used to
Here’s some more info. Totally worth it for the ShitTok views.
If they’re dumb enough to film themselves committing an offence, then there’s no point trying to victim blame.
I read the link, didn’t see anything that adds any real context. I"m not victim blaming. I haven’t seen the videos or sought them out or anything so have no idea if they are guilty or not. My point is, I’ve seen enough recently to not trust the news or the Met to believe that they are guilty from the article, the arrest and now the CPS report you shared. They could well have said and done horrible stuff.
Yes, if they recorded themselves crossing the line into hate direct, they’re pretty dumb too
the stabbing of two Jewish men last month in Golders Green.
There it is again, the third victim being completely erased from existence.
They’re fine with erasing Palestinians from existence, what’s one more Muslim to the media.
I used to think that making antisemitic videos would involve things like screaming something about killing all jews, calling for a Jewish genocide or something like that.
Today I am assuming that these kids dared to make videos that said something along the lines of “Palestinians are human beings that deserve the same dignified life and rights as you and I enjoy”
Because that is enough to be labeled antisemitic
Honestly, I don’t know what these guys did. Maybe they were making actually antisemitic videos, and actually hurting or harming people.
Like extremist feminism a decade ago cheapened the word “rape” to the point where it meant nothing anymore, antisemitism has been so hollowed out by extremist Zionist that it means nothing anymore
Israel uses the IDF to commit genocide.
That is not a controversial statement, it’s simply observation of fact.
Yet that statement just now made me an antisemite.
I’ll do you one worse
I bet Palestinians are mostly kind and good people, just like you and I
Oh, the antisemitism is just steaming here!
Fuck Israel, all those in the IDF that murdered Palestinians must be jailed. If that requires jailing hundreds of thousands, then so fucking be it because that is what a civilized society does to criminals
