3 years ago today. 7th October 2023.

The antisemites are out in force today but there are Jewish plans to mourn and remember all those horribly murdered in Israel three years and those taken hostage and then murdered.
Anyone who thinks that this thread is ‘provocative’ should give their heads a wobble.🤬

Oreo

How on earth could this thread be provocative! Answer that.

People see us for what we are Oreo.

I certainly agree with that!

Me neither. 🇮🇱

I won’t forget.

As I posted up thread my sympathies are with the worldwide Jewish Community today ✡️

Shocking!

Yes, I could. You clearly implied I support a terrorist organisation. That is a very serious, and untrue accusation.

I didn’t mention you personally.

My sympathy is with the Jewish people today and always.

I could report you for that Oreo, but I prefer to let it stand even though it is patently untrue and a slur on my character.

No you couldn’t

I have been thinking about what happened on that terrible day all morning😢

Yes I agree with this comment too FGT2
I have to avoid the subject with one person I know as I don’t want to fall out with her.

I'm assuming people on this site are compassionate, perhaps with families of their own.

Anybody would feel some emotion around the terrible situation in the Middle East and elsewhere.

It is the marches themselves taking place on today of all days which is deliberately provocative.

Both are provocative.

FriedGreenTomatoes2, I am totally with you, it is beyond comprehension. I lit a candle this morning for the souls who suffered.

I have a huge amount of respect for the tiny country of Israel and its people.
It’s the only democracy in the Middle East, surrounded as it is by all the. ‘H’ terrorists all of whom wish them harm.

Imagine how Jewish here people must feel today, especially those who maybe have had to pass these dreadful demonstrations.

My candle is alight.
What a dreadful day that was.

The situation continues to be horrendous on all sides.

One look at the vacuous faces of those anti Israeli people marching today says it all. They have no idea what they are supporting and how disgusting Hamas are.

It is the marches themselves taking place on today of all days which is deliberately provocative.

To me the vile murderous attack three years ago was all the more horrific as it was youngsters at a music festival who were targeted.
Just imagine how everyone would feel if something similar happened here at, say, Glastonbury.

A while back I read a truly harrowing account describing the level of hatred Hamas terrorists and their Palestinian supporters have for the Israeli people.

During the atrocities the murderous thugs were on their phones to their families describing the butchering which had taken place and even mothers could be heard whooping and cheering with delight.

That extreme level of hated is what the people of Israel face, day after day.

Any supporters attending pro Palestinian rallies, today of all days should be ashamed of themselves.

I agree Casdon. An OP simply expressing sadness for the terrible events of that day would have been more appropriate.
