Whether you would say it or not, or whether jews or Israelis are offended by it or not, doesn't make it antisemetic. It's not. That's the point. The question is, why would calling for a free Palestine be offensive to anyone? Why would asking for people's liberty and independence frighten anyone living in the UK? Madness. If I write it on Insta or Twitter, or hold a placard whilst protesting through a legal march through London, why are the media calling that antisemetism. It's bollox and definite propaganda. Thankfully the law is on the side of those marching for a ceasfire and for the Palestinian ppl's freedom. As we're seeing in Gaza, if it was up to some, whether it's the CST or the Daily Mail, they'd want them all bombed or shot in the head.
I think the most non offensive thing that use to piss me off and it's not illegal lol was when Americans use to say to me 'I love your Australian accent,' bunch of shhites
So if the law is on the side of it being said, why is Pinkie crying over it? I don't normally read what he writes, I just work on assumption of what he writes. Seems a pointless conversation then, I guess Pinkie has believed something written by right wing then and taken it as Gospel, as we were people... please log in to view this image
Pinkie wants too much brotherly... brotherly... brotherly love. Btw loved Kenny Everett. It's all done in the best POSSIBLE taste
I hear "Irish accent" more than Australian. When you came over was it in the 80's/early 90's when Crocodile Dundee was still very much in public consciousness? Either that, or maybe it's because I have a Northern accent Americans associate that with being more Irish to them, and Southern accents sound more Australian to them. My favourite is still "I love your accent, are you from Korea?" And: "Where are you from?" "England" "How long have you been here?" "3 months" (this was shortly after I moved) "Wow, and you're almost fluent already!" Oh, and one time driving through a medium-small town in South Carolina (not small enough that everyone knows each other, but still a pretty small town)... pull up to a petrol pump. A heavy man in blue-jean coveralls, a long grey duck dynasty style beard, driving an ancient pickup truck on the other side of the pump looks at me and says dismissively "you're not from around here are you", I reply "no", he harumps, gets in his truck and drives off. Still baffles me to this day how he knew I wasn't "from around there", I hadn't said a word so it wasn't my accent, I drive a fairly basic car (Honda Civic), wasn't dressed in any weird way. Whatever it was that he recognized as me from not being from around there, offended him.
if you think peace was bought to Ireland in the duration of a human lifetime you are completely raving
So if "Free Palestine", or Palestinian flags is offensive and causes fear to the Jewish population, would "Support Israel", or Israeli flags be offensive and cause fear for the Muslim population? How much actual violence is going on over there [in UK] against the Jewish community. It seems like it should be obvious to everyone that Jewish people living in the UK arn't the ones killing Palestinian kids or causing the conflict. Is there any legitimate fear from the Jewish community over that? Does anyone actually blame Jewish people in the UK?
My guess would be because it's a southern accent, I've had northerners suggest I'm cockney (I'm not) but I can tell it's due to the North / South divide. Some Americans struggled to understand me, so I use to leave my other half to sort out anything that required a long conversation. Although it was useful if someone was being a shhite to her, because then my voice would jump in and the argument would end there.
I don't think it just applies specifically to the Jewish situation, my lads best mate is Muslim and it was nightmare if some terror attack happened in the UK years gone by, because his dad ran the local mosque. It's just people being shhites as usual and it don't take much to create anxiety in any local community.
Honestly, it's been so long, and I've noticed my ability to pick out where an accent from has plummeted. I'd probably misplace your accent too. My own accent hasn't faded, but my ability to identify other people's certainly has. It's a skill that's quickly lost when you're not exposed to it often.
point was that the definitions the CST have used to demonstrate anti semitism, was parroted by the media but you didn’t read any of that best stick to posting pictures of bikes mate
His Sid Snot character was responsible for one of my favourite poems ever... There was a cow upon a hill If it's not there now ... it must have gone.
That's right unlike you I don't need the media or CST to form an opinion. I'm quite capable of working out for myself if something might be considered offensive to certain groups of people. If I'm wrong people generally will not hesitate in correcting you, which in this case I'm not wrong. I can fully understand why certain slogans may increase anxiety in Jewish people, especially in areas where Palestinian flags have been flown or marches to support the Palestine cause, let's not forget here mate, you ran away from London for personal reasons to you - anxiety comes in all forms, just because you can't comprehend something does not make it an invalid argument. Likewise I agree it does not make it illegal (unless the law says so)..
