    FBI Director Wray said in an interview yesterday that antisemitic threats and violence were increasing before 10/7 and since then have gone up "quite substantially."

    He also talked about how manipulable TikTok users are for China.

    In London police had to apologize after telling a Jew that he "would be arrested if he refused to be escorted out of the area [of a pro-palestinian protest], because he would be “causing a breach of the peace.”"

    Later the police acknowledged that being "Being Jewish is not a provocation." Yet?

    But hey, I forgot to mention here that I don't like Bibi.

    Emily Maitlis (Jewish) - one of the better UK journalists - did a deep dive on this and it seems the guy in question went fishing for confrontation and then used the video to discredit the Met who were trying to cope with a difficult situation. It's the second to last story here.

    It's well worth taking 5 mins to listen to because it really illustrates how difficult this is to police and report on.

    ETA; For clarity, Maitliss says that what the officer said was obviously bad, but he likely was acting in good faith i.e Gideon Falter was deliberately attempting to walk into the protest and was not just try to cross the road - the officer, worried about potential conflict, sought to escort him across the road. Maitliss also played the ongoing attack from far right figures like Braverman, who are attempting to bring down the Met police chief for allowing these protests.

    Did he talk about Elon Musk buying twitter and using it to boost 1000s of neo nazis and holocaust deniers?

    Genuine question

    Or Markey Mark's past behavior regarding radicalization and genocide?

    Nope...it's only those Reds who are the problem. What is this? A Fallout game?

  10. So....our hamas monitor uses an agitator, bent on causing a problem, as "evidence" against the Met.

    This appears to have been debunked (link is part of a longer thread):



    Wrong. There were some individual graves (where Palestinians were buried) that were moved to mass graves. However, the number of people recovered significantly exceeds the number of graves that were seen at Nasser hospital prior to the IDF raid.

    And, of course, that doesn't explain bodies that were found naked and bound or the bodies that still had catheters connected to them.

    1. That is a lie. Nowhere in that video says that

    2. According the Gaza defense chief and as always no one else could verify that claim

    I saw it on a local report here in LA: https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/a...ests-spark-concerns-about-the-safety-of-jews/

    Still sad that we have to have someone go out of their way to say it is ok to be recognizably Jewish in public and that being Jewish in a crowd can be by itself provocative. We can easily imagine analogues to this situation.

    Whataboutism? You're better than that.

    He answered what he was asked.

    Oh edit: how scary is it that the left and the right are both manipulated by social media to hate jews?

    Just a reminder that nobody's stopping Hamas from releasing all the remaining hostages.

    It's still whataboutism, which is a pathological moral problem.

    Twitter thread in the first half of my post.

    I've posted multiple links about it in the thread, including pictures.

    For me, whataboutism is defined by the intent not the technique; but I get what you're saying.
