Can't speak for LW but I would say that if the Green Brigade support Palestine they are not being anti-semitic. And Israel is certainly a terrorist state. 

Hahahaha. So it's impossible for the Green Brigade to be antisemitic if they support Palestine? By that logic, nobody who supports Palestine can possibly be antisemitic any way? 

 

Next you'll be claiming that they if they support Palestine they don't support terrorist organisations.

 

A wee clue. The 2 issues aren't mutually exclusive, and you really shouldn't be taken in by the Green Brigade.

Or are you trying to argue that the Green Brigade aren't terrorist loving antisemites?

Anybody who thinks ant Zionism and anti semitism is the same thing is a dimwit not worthy of debate.

The term 'anti-semitic' has been weaponised so much that it becomes nearly impossible to have a rational argument. And we can certainly argue what constitutes a terrorist organisation. State actors can certainly come into that category.

You're obviously a mind-reader then as I've said that the Green Brigade are antisemitic, but I've not said why I think that, but as you are incapable of posting without insults then perhaps you should take a break from debating on this site.

There are plenty of examples of the Green Brigade being antisemitic and if you're trying to excuse their behaviour by claiming the term has been weaponised, and if you're trying to excuse the Brendan McFarlane banner by arguing that the (proscribed) IRA aren't a terrorist organisation then you've really gone down in my opinion.

I'm not fooled by the GB; especially I won't forgive that effigy. I'm only concerned with the anti-Israel banner which has been replicated by many supports worldwide. I suggest you look more closely at what's been revealed about October 7th; there was an Israeli defence minister who admitted that the IDF had killed some Israeli civilians and saw it as justified.

Argument for another thread but but to support Palestinians is not anti-semitic but anti-Zionist. Huge difference.

Not all Northern Irish Catholics supported the IRA.  That’s the same logic.
