A group of young Jewish girls were on their way to a rehearsal on Monday evening when ‘around a dozen glass bottles and plates’ were allegedly thrown at them by a man on a balcony at Woodberry Down Estate.

The girl was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.

‘The sheer volume of glass scattered across the area resembles the aftermath of a riot.

‘The force and distance of the thrown glass bottles reveal the deliberate and violent nature of this act.

‘These young children were targeted simply for their visibly Jewish identity.’

That “Shomrim” thing is disturbing. Why are religious fascists allowed to openly police the streets?

Not to mention that a neighborhood watch, organized by civilians, that does not apply force, is a right of every group in a Democratic society. Freedom of association. Unions are a counter to fascism.

Do you also think BLM and community gardening are also fascism?

The fact thay the local Jewish population feels under attack and need to organize to defend it-self is okay? It's only a problem when Jews strike back?

I think you suffer from a case of being a nazi.

‘These young children were targeted simply for their visibly Jewish identity.’

Maybe if they were in school uniforms? I'm not sure how else they could be so quickly identified from a balcony while walking down the street.

But is the story really that some guy posted up on his balcony waiting for someone he thought was Jewish to throw a bunch of stuff at them? Like, the person who threw stuff would have had seconds from seeing them to throwing if that's what happened.

It just doesn't make any logical sense, especially since it acts like the balcony was really high up, but if they were just walking by it's probably not as easy to hit someone intentionally in the like 2 seconds it takes them to walk by.

There's just a huge amount of holes in this story.

There's also this:

The girl was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.

Neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, which protects the Jewish population in Stamford Hill, said the attack had ‘deeply shocked the community’.

There was no actual authorities at the scene until after the far right orthodox "volunteer police" who routinely harras anyone that isn't Orthodox (even if they still Jewish) and their own ambulance service who only serves people of their specific right wing conservative religion?

Like, we have the word of a bunch of far right religious extremists that a situation happened exactly as they said it...

Or they're making shit up to play victim.

But it makes sense why only a tabloid owned by the Daily Mail is reporting it.

So after being exposed for making up fake scenarios in which a Jewish girl having glass bottles thrown at her head is not really a victim, you go back and edit your comments to make up fake scenarios in which a Jewish person is somehow the perpetrator??

What a class act.

you go back and edit your comments

There would be a timestamp if it had been edited...

So I'm not sure what you're talking about, why you're being incivil, or why you came back and replied again to try and start an argument...

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

a simple explanation could be the person who threw the glass was Jewish. They couldn't turn him in. But would still have to explain the injuries.

So that's not you? Looks like I responded to another of your comments, but are you really going to deny what anyone can see by scrolling down?

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

You mean on a different comment where I wrote "quick edit" before it and the timestamp shows it was before you replied to it?

Yeah...

That clearly happened.

But how was I supposed to know what comment you were talking about? That was literally 8 hours ago..

I legitimately don't know why you're so upset people are pointimg out the Ultra Orthodox "special police" are not allowed to report any crimes where the criminal is Jewish.

It's weird, and I'm going to assume you're just intoxicated since it's a holiday.

I hope our next interactions arent like this, but I won't be replying again to this thread. But this is giving off those weird Squid vibes, I blocked them a long time ago for acting like you are now.
