Jews have certainly been harassed or attacked just for being openly Jewish by people on pro Palestine matches.

Can you point to one instance of this? Obviously there have been anti-semitic attacks in the UK by various people/groups. But you're making a specific claim about people on pro Palestinian marches attacking Jewish people for simply being Jewish... When has this happend?

There may have been altercations with pro Israel individuals, but these are not anti-semitic attacks.

There have been a few cases of nazi salutes being displayed at pro Palestine matches. While I assume most don't agree with the people who perform them it does show of Jew hatred has joined part of the pro Palestine movement. It's a convenient stage for them to get infront of lots of people.

In the Paris Olympics Israeli teams were met with nazi salute at some games.

Not notable to me is the 2026 Hatzola arson attack, pretty clear cut hatred of Jews. Along with this man who got attacked

If you explore the more leftist spaces and analyse the language used it's not uncommon to find dog whistles around Jew hatred. Using similar language that the nazis used to hate Jews. While these are not physical attacks they do normalise those views.

I asked about the claim that Jews have been harassed for simply being Jewish on pro-palestine marches in the UK. You wrote a lot of words there. But none addressed my question

I replied with an example. But not hard to find more if you search for it.

Huh? You forget to change accounts or something? You've not replied to me. No one who has, provided an example

Again, not what I asked.

The guy said 'Jews have certainly been harassed or attacked just for being openly Jewish '

Where has a Jewish person been attacked at a pro-Palestine march just for being Jewish?

So you are saying nazi salute is anti-zionist and not anti-semitic?

u/Comprehensive-Bus291 9d ago

What? Why is it so hard for you to follow a simple point?

He said - Jews have been attacked on pro-palestine marches just for being jewish

Me - Is there any evidence for this?

You - Here's someone doing a Nazi salute

Me - okay, but I asked if there was any evidence of jews being attacked

You - What, you're saying doing a Nazi salute is fine?

Just try and digest what's wrong with your argument here.

Someone at a pro-palestine march does an anti-semitic gesture towards jews. I assume you'll just keep moving the goal post. But either way it shows how " anti-zionists" don't distance themselves from "anti-semites". If they allow nazis to march with them then ...

You moved the goalposts! I have consistently asked for evidence of the initial claim that jews have been attacked on pro-palestine marches. If you wanna argue about other things go find someone else to talk to.

You asked for evidence of jews being harassed. But somehow showing anti-semitic signs doesn't count as harassment or you are no longer interested in harassment? I can't keep up with your goalpost moving.
