it definitely seems to be getting worse. Whether thats Iranian-sponsored or locally grown, I have no idea. |  |

more overt racism is being normalised by the likes of reform and the headbanger wing of the conservatives. |  |

I don't believe that any of the recent attacks on the Jewish community is coming from the right wing of British politics. Pretty distasteful to shoehorn Reform and Tories into this imo. |  |

racism is racism, and when you have an anti-semite leading the party leading the polls, it normalises it. undoubtedly there are some more radical muslims stoking it too, but they're not platformed to anything like the same extent |  |

Racism and extremism as a whole is on the rise, then there's what's been going on in Israel that has some people who are not right-of-thinking, equating normal Jewish people to those carrying out genocide. Absolutely awful all round, but you're right - this rhetoric is born of the normalisation/exacerbation of extremist ideology by right wing politicians from abroad and at home.

I'd suggest that the regular Jew hate spewed on our streets up and down the country every week plays a much bigger factor in what is driving these bastards. I'd rather you didn't attempt to score political points off the back of this tragedy. |  |

why didn't you say this to ulla's original post? i think normalising and playing down racism and anti-semitism as farage does, creates an environment where this kind of abhorrent idiocy thrives |  |

It's not worth engaging with this bloke, he's disingenuous to his very core- highly recommend blocking- makes the board a lot more enjoyable. [Post edited 29 Apr 13:14]

The OP made it political. You've just demonstrated your confirmation bias. |  | |  |

That's a wild take. I would be amazed if Polanski was anywhere near the first thoughts anyone had about this horrible incident. SB |  |

From what I see the anti-semitism seems to be coming from the left and connected to their dislike of Israel and the West. |  | |  |

disliking israel's actions and "the west" (which parts? orban's hungary? spain? poland? slovakia?) doesn't make you anti-semitic, disliking minorities definitely can. |  |

appreciate that people can wind each other up the wrong way, but i'm always happy to hear gb's angle (and ulla's!), even if i sometimes disagree with them. i happily use the block on others though, so i can definitely see your pov! |  |

| Two Jewish bods stabbed on 14:12 - Apr 29 with 2985 views | Ryorry | Seems pretty sad to me that people who are obviously on the same side (anti-racism of every kind) end up squabble between themselves.

The op was pretty divisive tbh. Clearly looking to start a fight |  |

As is your perogotive- I used to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I’m older, wiser and longer in the tooth now, after over a decade of reading the board and posting- GB’s “angle” is often as performative as it is predictable. It’s not just him- I’m on a block spree and the boards never been so readable, can’t believe I spent so long straight up refusing to block anyone. |  | |  |

How odd. It wasn't so long ago you were thanking me for having your back when Callis attempted to slander you on here regarding your personal life. |  |

On reflection, you're absolutely right: it would likely have only been one of the first thoughts of people offended by Polanski's comments last week. |  |

I know you’ll be rather pleased with yourself that you got a nibble, but I’ll momentarily unblock and bite- Approximately half a decade ago (probably kinder tbh) you reached out via PM, after callis acted totally out of line, I thanked you for that. Using it now in the way in which you are only really cements my point- performative kindness which can be weaponised at a later date as suits. Disingenuous to the very core.
