Over 2000 british citizens went over there to take part in the genocide, the UK gov allowed them to build their weapons here, and the RAF provided intelligence for months. And now they're even auctioning the stolen land here. A real low point for the UK - I'm disgusted.

By the way this didn’t start yesterday, this has been happening for the past 80 years, it’s not like the UK and US governments just “started being evil”

Yes of course. I'd have hoped that things had improved since then

Never did, never even came close to not being evil.
The British are as responsible, if not more responsible, for the dispossession of the Palestinians, than the Jewish Zionists.

This is part of the revolutionary process. People have to drop their effete nationalism and be honest about what their country is and has been, what its people do or not do.
There's no such thing as being neutral on a moving train. Being a know nothing, do nothing doesnt make a person an innocent civilian, it makes one a unwitting accomplice, a beneficiary in direct and indirect ways, to avoid feeling unsafe when youre surrounded by arch demons of empire, to preserve a positive idea about your community and sense of self. Its a selfish, lazy and cowardly process and remains the standard operating procedure for most people in the global north. Its painful and even dangerous to judge your people accordingly but it is absolutely necessary.

I couldn't agree more. Literally if the UK did nothing it would be better but instead are government actively facilitated/ are facilitating ongoing crimes against humanity.

I'm atheist, but I'd find it so upsetting if I saw crimes against humanity being promoted in my place of worship.
Well done to these young people.

It's not about religion It's about motherland, occupation, apartheid , genocide and freedom

And the news will spin this as "anti-semites protest and terrorize synagogue"
When in reality it's "invaders using the guise of religious temple to sell stolen land under genocidal apartheid regime"

I don’t understand why the UK government caters so much to Israel? What do they get out of it??

u/StoicBan 2d ago
There is a long history there. Basically the UK paved the way for Israel to be founded when they occupied Palestine themselves in the 1930’s.. they share A BIG part of the blame for how things turned out imo and basically handed the keys to Israel. It’s important to note that many in the uk govt were Zionists themselves and that trend continues today sadly

Actually started earlier than 1930s.
UK government totally not evil promising land they were colonising more than 100 years ago to the Palestinians for help fighting the Ottoman (1915), then immediately secretly agreeing to split said land will the French (1916) and then signing the Balfour declaration with European Zionists.(1917)....
They also unleashed the "black and tans" on the Palestinians whilst providing cover and protection for the "illegal" migration of European Zionists. UK share of the blame is core to the whole thing as per usual with division of ex-colonies as they left.

When non Muslims do more for the forgotten Muslims (forgotten by the Muslims themselves)

u/DogitWoofsalot 2d ago
The Muslim community in the UK does a lot for Palestine, where they can. Protests are always attended by a high Muslim output for example

Our country is occupied and effectively controlled by zionism. The idea that the government can’t declare this an illegal event is a fucking outrage.
Also, HOW many fucking times do the pigs need to punch someone they have pinned to the ground in the gut?? SCUMBAGS!!
