What's Going On ?

[Khandro]

I feel saddened, and sickened to learn that the lovely, Maureen Lipman now has to have police protection because of warped Jew-haters in England !                                      Maureen who has brought so much fun & life into our lives, remember those British Telecom adverts, not to  mention her stage work, which has included appearances with the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

I see now at least, The Express, this morning is refering to those loathsome street demonstions as, 'Hate Marches'.

Nobody should be defined by their creed, colour or religion unless they push it themselves.

[Khandro]

I don't think she 'pushes it'  but she does often mention it to poke fun at herself and in the BT adverts in one iteration she marvellously played a Jewish grandmother.

She was once playing a live take as a scruffy old bag-lady in Oxford Street when she spotted a friend walking by, she left the crew and pestered him along the street as the bag-lady character much to his embarrassment, him not realizing who she was. 😄

She is a real national treasure, and to think that she is in fear for her own safety is abhorrent.

[Gromit]

Lipman is a fine actress and her acting work is rightly much appreciated.

She is also staunchly pro Israel and is very vocal about that, which makes her many enemies. She has demonstated outside theatres against Palestinian plays on there, which sets her apart from your average soap opera star.

//She has demonstated outside theatres against Palestinian plays on there//

 

This is what she says about that.  It's worth reading.

The Hamas terrorist bastrads started this whole sheet-show back on the 7th October.They started it,the Jews,the"evil"Israelis, will finish it.

[Khandro]

naomi; Thanks for that link

[Khandro]

There's a plausible reason for concern; it's not only in the UK, & the French cops sound to be as ineffectual as the Brits.

 Police were hunting for a man who stabbed and wounded a Jewish woman in the French city of Lyon on Saturday. A swastika was found graffitied to her home. A spokesman for the national police gave no further details about the suspect, and said he could not confirm whether police were treating the attack as an anti-Semitic hate crime. 😒

Meanwhile Rishi(too small for his boots too big for his suits)Sunak pledges to “build a better future”, “strengthen our society” and “help people feel safer”. I have got news for you "Suni" We used to have a strong society, our future was assured, we felt safe in our communities. Then we had the duplicity called diversity. Millions of people, with no intention of being part of our society, were brough in after Bliar's policy of deliberately undermining and weakening the UK. We are seeing just the beginings of what is going to a fight to the death for some and a craven capitulation for others. I see that the terrorist supporters were aiming exploding fireworks at the crowds who were not supporting them and the police yesterday. A hamas spokesman may just as well say    ...   what could we do?? the mortar bombs hadn't arrived.

Will no-one save us from this incessant, repetitive babbling?

[ynnafymmi]

Woof-Woof.Not me Duggie.

[Gromit]

The point I was making, which you prefer to ignore, is that Lipman is being targetted for hate mail because of her Zionist activism, not because she is a Jewish actress.

[naomi24]

Nonsense.

[ynnafymmi]

Nah,she is being targeted for being Jewish Gromit.You know that,we(well the non anti-semites on this site)know that.

[ToraToraTora]

gromit, have a day off. You think the jew haters first find out their views on the existence of a Jewish state! Perlease! .... and anyway are their any jews that are not zionists?

[Khandro]

gromit; I despair of you.   

[bednobs]

aren't jews part of diversity though?  Like muslims, they are part of a minority religion in this country.

So are we saying that diversity is ok, as long as it's a religion we "like"?

or are we just saying that diversity is ok?

No one should feel threatened in this country because of their religious views IMO
