    If this is the one from a while back then I remember reading about it. The guy tried to enter the building while a service (is that what they’re called?) was in progress. Because it was locked he set fire to the outside instead.

    I remember being shocked that this wasn’t hitting the headlines as much as it should have.

    Surely we should ban all extremist organisations, regardless of the faith they align to?

    Any solution that pretends antisemitism isn’t also a real problem will never go anywhere.

      I think you’re right. Surely the solution is to oppose all discrimination on the basis of ethnicity or religion, whether it’s discrimination against Jews, or Muslims, or Christians, or Hindus, or black people, or white people, etc.

        Using semantics to redefine an established word. That’s a good one from the right-wing playbook.

          No semantics, educate yourself. The right-wing in your example must mean the dirty Zionists that try to take ownership of the word. Filthy dirty animals trying finish a peoples and lay claim to their ethnicity at the same time.

            Calling a group that’s primarily Jews “filthy dirty animals” is not doing the antizionist cause any favours

              I’m calling the Zionists that are committing genocide that. The dirty Zionists as opposed to the good Zionists. I differentiated before I continued. But thank you for your concern.

                My point is that if you chose Goebbels-speak like that it gets in the way of what you’re saying because it raises questions about how you feel about non-zionist Jews

                  I don’t think you have any point other than to try and tell people what they mean.

                Nah, your hatred is palpable. The term “Zionist” is used instead of “Jew” so you can get away with spreading your ancient hatred to young leftists who aren’t familiar with it. It continues to get in the way of anyone actually helping the Palestinians.

                  Nah, it’s your hatred I feel poring through this. Your terminology and attempt at correcting people in what terms to use. My hatred is for the dirty Zionists that are all for committing genocide, again distinguishing them from the good zionists. If you want, you may continue to guess what the good people of different forums really think, but my guess is that you are always wrong. “leftists”, “Right Wing”

                  You’re boring.

        That’s just naive. If you believe that Satansyahoo and the IOF wouldnt be committing terror attacks if only they were atheists then you have not been paying attention. If you think that the palestinians are attacking pissrahellis because they’re muslim and hate jews than you really have not been paying attention and are conflating zionists and jews.

          I would also state that they would do it based on rational motives mainly (they want to exploit their neigbours). The main problem is the irrational based support has an outsized influence in the conflict.

            Yeah I completely agree with that, your original comment seemed to flatten it into a “Judaism vs Islam”, where both sides (i. e. palestinians) are motivated by their respective religions which is not the case for palestinians at all, and for zionists only insofar as Judaism gets weaponised into attacking their neighbors.

        the problem is ALWAYS politics

        no one is getting murdered because they believe someone else believes in a different sky squirrel

        the troubles were not about catholic versus protestant but British loyalists and Irish republicans yet the British state propounded the idea that it was religion that was the sole cause
