@andrewfeinstein Right you are….

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

70% of Israelis supporting something doesn’t magically make a private property conference in London illegal under UK or international law.

You keep ignoring the actual question: Which specific law was broken by the event itself?

Also, blaming all Israelis (or all Jews) for government policy and threatening ‘consequences’ is collective punishment.

That’s the exact logic you claim to oppose when it’s used against Palestinians

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

Holding a private real estate conference in a London synagogue is not illegal under UK law. The government doesn’t ban events based on political disagreement with what’s being discussed.

You’re also claiming the Met Police and government are ‘owned by Israel’. That’s a serious accusation. Do you have evidence for that, or is this another example of people confusing criticism of Israeli policy with conspiracy theories about Jewish control?

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

Statements comparing Palestinians to Amalek or using dehumanising language are serious and should be condemned where they occur.

However, isolated inflammatory rhetoric by individual politicians does not meet the legal definition of genocide, which requires specific intent to destroy a group as such, demonstrated through systematic policy and action.

My original point remains narrower: a private real estate conference in the UK is not itself a breach of international law. Those are two separate issues.

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

Genocide is a specific legal term with a high bar -deliberate intent to destroy a group in whole or in part.

I care about evidence. If you have clear proof that the real estate conference itself constitutes or enables genocide, please share the specific evidence.

My point was narrower: holding a private property event in the UK is not a breach of international law. That’s a separate legal question from broader political disagreements.

The ship was part of Russia’s sanctioned ‘shadow fleet’ — vessels using deceptive practices to evade oil sanctions imposed because of the illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Calling the interdiction of a sanctioned tanker ‘piracy’ while ignoring the context of Russia’s aggression and sanctions evasion is selective. Do you apply the same standard to any other country’s sanctioned ships being stopped?

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

Land from Northern Cyprus (occupied by Turkey) is sold at property events in London regularly. No mass protests, no demands to ban the events, no accusations of the UK enabling ‘annexation.’

So is the real objection the principle of selling disputed land, or is it only a problem when Israelis do it?

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

A private real estate conference in a London synagogue is not ‘apartheid and annexation with a sales pitch.’ It’s people meeting to discuss property.

You’re using very serious legal and moral terms. Which specific law makes it illegal for Israelis to hold a property event in the UK? And why does the same standard never seem to apply to other countries with disputed territories or occupations when they hold events here?

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

Police arrested six people from the protest side for public order offences and criminality.

You’re claiming the ‘peaceful’ side was the one being kicked and punched while the counter-protesters were the aggressors. That’s a very specific claim. Do you have video evidence of the ‘Zionist mob’ initiating unprovoked violence, or is this another case of masked participants from your side escalating and then crying victim when police finally acted?

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

@avygal I hope so I really do.

[Scott Andrews @scottfutile]

It’s a beautiful day. The sun is shining. Justice is functioning as it should. Terrorists have been locked away. The London Hamas supporters club learned a lesson in humility. I am so incredibly thankful for the freedom to think, to live, and the mostly decent society I live in. I feel blessed.

@RLK303303 @StopTheHate_UK Absolutely wonderful.

[RLK @RLK303303]

The counter protest 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 Thank you @StopTheHate_UK

Current day blackshirts tried to march on a synagogue on a Jewish part of town.

When Jews came out in force to stop them, the entitled fools begged for help.

@doctor_rahmeh You would think, given all the police around, that you know, if it was illegal, they perhaps would have stopped it….

@acailler Imagine discovering that there are other opinions than your own. Those poor dears. Going out of their way to cause trouble and finding that not everybody agrees with that. Welcome to adulthood.
