It's funny how selective this patriotism is. Being patriotic just as a trend, and using your national flag to make others feel unwelcome isn't patriotic at all.

Whereas with your mindset.. waving a Palestinian flag to make UK jews feel unwelcome amd uncomfortable will be patriotic.

Not at all, I see it as a protest in the same way as I see this 'Raising the Colours' as a protest. I would criticise anyone waving a Palestinian flag with the intent of making Jewish people feel unwelcome. Raising it to support Palestinian civilians is fine. Flying it in an act of anti-semitism is not okay. In the same way that I have a neighbour who has for as long as I can remember had a Union flag up in their garden and I have never thought it to be problematic because that is an actual sign of patriotism.

I'm not sure where you've got this impression I am anti-Jew. I've spoke maybe twice about the Israeli / Palestine conflict and I've simply said I don't believe civilians - on either side - should be caught up in political wars. I've also openly criticised anti-semitism and agreed it's a discrimination that seems to be unfortunately brushed under the carpet and accepted a lot of the time.

I think if you're trying to paint me out to be anti-Jewish you should take a look back over my posting history.
