        Not falsely claim that the sign is antisemitic and confiscate it. I’m surprised I had to spell that out for you but I’ll refrain from making any ableist insult.

          I mean if you actually refrained you wouldn’t have said that specifically, which is just making an ableist insult but for cowards.

          Ironic.

    If I wanted to speak to you I would.

    Well, HE’S SPEAKING TO YOU! What a fucking power tripping cunt. You are paid by the public and you are here to serve the public, not the other way around, why can’t you answer a simple question? Is it because you know what you’re doing is wrong?

    ACAB.

      They should have started holding the sign together. Then they’d have to talk to him as well. If the cops wanna get obtusely technical, get obtusely technical back.

      I hate how the cop reiterated that they ‘have rights’, but… ‘shut the hell up…’ paraphrasing of course.

      Really feels like we’ve got our priorities straight this year. /s

    I don’t think inviting a kid to forcefully defy/hate like that was the right thing to do. The invitation to tread on the face as a sign of defiance/hate or whatever it was, was probably a poor choice in the moment.

    I think its wrapped up in the problems with dehumanisation of enemies, that tends to breed generational circles of violence.

    What event were they at?

    If it was a Jewish thing then yeah, the sign is just antagonism. edit: nope.

    There’s plenty of places to express your views on jews, Israeli’s and Gaza.

    An event hosted by the jewish community intended to try to ease tensions and rebuild cohesion after a terrorist attack directed at them isn’t an appropriate one.

    Edit: I was wrong, it’s an annual ramadan festival

      An event hosted by an explicitly-zionist (and therefore pro-genocide) organisation is always the appropriate place for protest against Israel’s genocide. No matter what they ostensibly claim the purpose of that event is.

      I think it is a Ramadan evening event from the text in the top left and the attending crowd.

      Besides that, an event being Jewish does not automatically make it immune from Israel criticism. Sadly many Jewish events are heavily involved with Zionism and recruitment for the IDF. It would need to be judged on a case by case basis.
