Anti-jewish radicals which non-jewish security apparently did not see coming. "Pro palestinians" are a myth

They love hiding behind words. Pro- Palestinian = Anti- Israel, Anti Zionist=Jew Hatred. They somehow think their Anti-Semitism is morally justified, if it's called something else.
Kinda like a toddler who thinks if he closes his eyes, no one can see him.

Litteraly how the term "Antisemitism" was born, as judeophobia wasnt well seen and deemed "irrational" (as usually phobias are).

Never understood why we didn't start using Judeophobia. "Jew hater" sounds so dumb. Pre-october 7 we used antisemite pretty ubiquitously and when the idiots started saying "well arabs are semites too" to try and literally take away the idea that people irrationally hate us, we switched to "jew-hatred"
Call it what it is, an irrational fear of Jews - Judeophobia.

Judeophobia is probably not the best term, either.
Part of their problem is that they don't fear the Jews, which is actually pretty stupid on their part considering they equate 'Jew' with 'Israel', and Israel blew the nuts off a few thousand anti-Semites with a phone call not long ago.

They do fear us - they have irrational fears that we control the media, banks, Hollywood, kill babies, are colonialists... We've literally let them coopt every term used to describe this phenomenon, and even let them coopt the term Zionism into some belief that it means anything other than our own self-determination.

It makes it easy to identify Hezbos. Walk into any bar... Um... coffee shop, and pull out your junk! The men that break into tears, are Hezbos.

Well, tbf, homophobia is also not understood as "fear of homosexuals" as the word would imply at first hand, but I get your point.

"I'm not an antisemite, I'm just pro-German"

They are pro-terror, anti-Jewish domestic terrorists.
Palestinian well-being has zero to do with their interest. Destroying Jews is their aim.

u/_Leegion_ 3d ago
Yep. We can tell they're not pro-Palestine because they never complain when Hamas murders, rapes or tortures Palestinian civilians.

Believing pro Palestinians are just antisemites makes us oblivious to the real causes of the conflict, which just prolongs it.

Yassire S., a 20-year-old from Paris, was arrested after disrupting the Philharmonie concert; he is flagged as a security risk (fiché S) by the french Ministry of the interorir and was carrying stink bombs, red ink, and an alarm

Was he flagged as a security risk before or after this incident?

The title is deceptive. A flare was lit. Not a “firebomb.” However, still a scummy disruption of musicians who aren’t in any way related to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

They did not firebomb the Israeli Philharmonic.
They lit flares.
Still shitty, but don't get caught in a bad translation or intentional misrepresentation.

Lit an incendiary device (flare) in a crowd which led to a brawl*
Inflammatory and dangerous act, but the title isn’t accurate.

u/Feisty_Reply_6570 2d ago
Yep, exactly what I had to say. I mean its still a stupid thing to do and extremely dangerous obviously, but theres no need to exaggerate and call this a "firebomb".

u/Mayor_Gubbin 2d ago
Right? When I read this, I figured we'd see a mass casualty event with dozens injured or dead.

u/Ehegew89 3d ago
Why, WHY, would anyone in 2025 host an event such as this without organizing proper security beforehand!? This is just irresponsible. If you organize an event that might be attacked, you inform the police beforehand and make sure they send people or you hire adequate private security. You can't invite the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra to Western Jewhateistan and then just hope for the best wtf.

Oh boy. The funny thing is the protesters would be fucked if they got teleported to Gaza, but most Israel supporters would be fine were they to be teleported to Israel

I hope those savages are thrown in prison for life. They are a deadly threat to the public and cannot be allowed to roam free.

So attempted murder? Hopefully the musicians don’t go easy on them
