Looked a bit awkward saying what you said with an Israeli flag smack bang in the middle of the picture. 
 

 


Does it? Israel flags flying at the right wing marches at the weekend as well. But yeah you try and imply something that isn’t there as usual. Clown.

Why are you mentioning something else that has nothing to do with the subject in this thread. You’re like Trump.
 

Would you like to clarify what I’m implying Professor Xavier?

A picture of right wing Trump supporters waving an Israeli flag the same weekend as the same flag was being flown at a right wing rally in London isn’t anything to do with a thread about Donald Trump? Pack it in. 
 

I’ll wait for you to tell me what’s anwkward about that.

It's worth bearing in mind that the kind of "very fine people" who take part in torchlight parades chanting "Jews will not replace us" are happy to line up behind the flag of any country that commits genocide of a Muslim population.

Yet another moron gets his just reward:

 

Jay Johnston, a former cast member of “Bob’s Burgers,” was sentenced to a year and a day behind bars on Monday for his participation in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The 56-year-old actor, who played Jimmy Pesto on the Fox animated sitcom, joined rioters’ “heave-ho” push against police guarding an entrance to the Capitol that day, The Associated Press reported.

In July, Johnston pleaded guilty to interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder, which carried a maximum sentence of five years. Prosecutors recommended an 18-month prison sentence for the actor.

During Monday’s sentencing, Johnston told U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols that his participation in the riot was “a humiliation and a horrible oversight.”

 

Nichols, a Trump appointee, said the actor sounded “less contrite than many” other rioters and described Johnston’s conduct as “problematic — reprehensible, really,” according to the Hill.

Johnston’s sentencing memo claimed the government was using his status as “an acclaimed Hollywood actor” to “make a point to the public.”

On Monday in court, Johnston’s younger brother urged the judge to take his brother’s guilty plea and the loss of his acting career into consideration in his sentencing. Other members of Johnston’s family told Nichols that the actor’s teen daughter has autism and relied on Johnston for support.

The government’s sentencing memo included a photo of Johnston dressed as Jacob Chansley, the spear-carrying Capitol rioter known as the “QAnon Shaman,” for Halloween a couple of years after the attack.

“He thinks his participation in one of the most serious crimes against our democracy is a joke,” prosecutors wrote.

But it’s on both sides of the divide. There’s a democratic following that can’t be reasoned with . Sadly in so many parts of the world people are not prepared to sit and talk about their different views . Both left and right are sooo nice until your views don’t match theirs. What a fuck up.

I was at a birthday party with the little one at the weekend due to an invite from her nursery and I noticed that there was loads of Americans. Apparently they are all missionaries from the church of latter day saints and are massive cunts who are Trump supporters and live in the same house.
 

Absolute lunatics

So, are you going to tell me what I was implying? You seem to be a tetchy about being accused of something that you haven’t been accused of. 
 

How do you know those holding the flag aren’t Jewish, and if they are, how do you know they are full on right wing? Are the black, Asian or Latino people in that audience right wing too? I thought only white people were right wing? It’s a bit slightly more nuanced over in the US compared to here and other countries. Being right wing and right leaning are two very different things. 

The march over here was very different to the one we are talking about.
 

People vote for an individual based on self interest on a wide range of things. Trump supports Israel, so there are going to be Jews who will vote for him solely on that basis alone. You picking out a picture and going with the word “they” where Jews are holding an Israeli flag is exactly that, a bit awkward. You (I’d like to think it’s not consciously intended) associate the Israel flag with being right wing over here and the US, again that’s awkward. I see it as the same as those on the opposite side using the support of Palestine as being anti-Semitic. It’s not as simple as labelling it as one thing or another. 

 

Surely you can understand that.
 

I wasn’t even being that serious by posting a GIF of Wayne Campbell. But let’s be honest some may see it differently, and you’ve certainly nailed your colours to the mast about how over it was a “scam” and those who raised potentially legitimate concerns about anti-semitism over here were wrong. I agree it was something that was used to weaponise, but not all of it was untrue. You have even aimed those accusations ant our very own Jew in heated debates and at times dismissed his fears of his and his families safety since Oct 7th last year. That again makes it look a tad awkward.
 

Do I believe that your anti-Semitic? (that’s what you appear to being paranoid about by saying “sorry to disappoint a couple of dickheads”) I can’t say 100% that I don’t think you are, because sometimes your words and attitudes towards the issue of Israel and Palestine can lean on the line when passions get heated. However that could be how I see people use the word Zionist. Overall, I reckon you’re about 98.99% none anti-Semitic. 
 

It seems to be a get out jail card, Zionists are still Jews, who have a belief just like you and me have our own beliefs. What Israel is doing, we fully 100% agree on, where we differentiate is the use of language when discussing that. I’m uneasy with labelling those driving that conflict as Zionist’s, as I believe the Israeli government aren’t Zionists, I believe they are tyrannical and are driven by greed and power and use the Zionist ideology as something to hide behind. 

You’ll be here all day waiting for me tell you what is ankward about it though, as I don’t know what ankward is,

Definitely agree on how polarized politics etc has become but with the caveat that one side can't realistically have a discussion with someone brainwashed by conspiracy theories and Russia funded disinformation campaigns on social media. One side picks the wrong hill to die on and the other absolutely can't be reasoned with.

Not everyone is daft enough to believe conspiracy theories and Russian bots pushing disinformation . IMO so many people are intolerant or are not prepared to see somebody elses point of view , you can see it at times in some of the topics in here.

There's definitely polarised views but I've never seen a leader given as much leeway as Trump gets.

 

For example, if you were on the left and loved Corbyn, but then he took a consultancy job with Goldman Sachs, he'd lose all of his supporters.

 

If he operated under Trump rules, people would simply say something like "Well he's just being smart".
