    Nobody is “all” anything. But many if not most would agree with Zack and the rest are going to have to prove that their perceived fear of Palestine marches trumps the freedom of speech of others and the lives at stake in Palestine.

    It must be great to be invited to give your opinion, but when it differs from the stereotype assigned to you, you get told off for not conforming to the stereotype.

    “All Jews” never suppported the state of Israel

    Israel was never created for “all Jews”

    There are more Jews living outside Israel than in it

    There are large numbers of Jews that oppose the state of Israel, even it’s existence yet their voices are rarely heard

    Trevor Phillips the so-called anti-racism campaigner joined in the islamophobic attacks on all Muslims, he’s another establishment propagandist

    Polanski didn’t have much of an answer to it, even though it’s not a difficult one to answer from a principled position. You can report hate crimes if you want, but the right to free speech of thousands of people should be balanced against the possibility of hate crimes being committed by a tiny minority on those marches.

    I think this principle stands both ways, too, because it’s clear that far right rallies are permitted, despite hate speech being kind of the point of those rallies. I’m not sure why Polanski couldn’t have answered this better, especially when he is in the right.
