About a week ago, a Facebook friend was appalled at pensioners being arrested for supporting Palestine Action. Last month, the British government designated it as a proscribed terrorist organization.
From where I sit, it's one thing to help finance a terrorist organization which author Sally Rooney seems intent on doing but quite another to express public support for it however misguided. I don't think expressing public support for Palestine Action warrants arrest or detention. With that said, if one does see fit to support Palestine Action then it is reasonable to conclude that one also sees fit to support Hamas. While you might be within your rights to support Palestine Action, I will call you out on that support.
This was the gist what I wrote below. It would provoke from one Derek James Dubery. As you can see, I stood up to his rubbish.
Assuming this is the actual Derek Dubery, he fancies himself a model and an actor. I should note that his page appears to have been subsequently deleted.
In any case, I just wanted to capture sentiment among some that Hamas is on the right side of history and that it is somehow against killing women and children. Well, methinks the Bibas family might beg to differ with that assessment. So too the female hostages who were raped by Hamas thugs.
In view of such facts how can one possibly conclude that Hamas is on the right side of history?
Well, it's very simple. To simply deny that Hamas wantonly murders women and children and rapes women with impunity. After all, Dubery saw fit to deny that Hamas uses the Palestinian people as human shields despite the indisputable evidence to the contrary. If Dubery sees fit to deny any wrongdoing on the part of Hamas one must wonder if he denies wrongdoing by Germans who deployed Zyklon B.
In order to genuinely believe that Hamas is on the right side of history then one must also believe there is not only no place for Israel, but also no place in the world for Jews.
One might be free to hold and express such views. But those who do see fit who promote such anti-Semitic filth ought to be shamed and shunned. Mind you, the people who believe that Hamas is on the right side of history might be incapable of shame. But perhaps their family and friends are and pressure can be brought to bear from those sources.
The best that we can hope is that such pro-Hamas sentiment can be nipped in the bud. However, given what we have seen in the UK regarding anti-Semitism among those who support the Palestinians, there is a good chance we are beyond that stage. If this is the case it does not bode well for the future of Jews in the U.K. and elsewhere.
