Presumably chucking packets of bacon at mosques is a bit passe for him?

It’s a bit gauche all told. I’m sure I could find someone on Etsy who’d run me up an al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades t-shirt, but I’m not going to wander round Golders Green or turn up at Kabbalat Shabbat service wearing it.

No he wouldn't look I follow Tomos I don't always agree with him but he's ok and he can pretty thoughtful actually.

My joint favourites are the one in which he describes a small demo as ‘The Cardiff Intifada’ and the one about a possibly funny look he might’ve gotten from ‘the Muslim bloke who works in this cafe.’

Do you think picking on someone with severe autism is a good look? Oh and nice comment calling him to beaten up btl.

Autism or not, he's just another edgelord trying to provoke people. And hiding behind disabilities is a really shitty thing to do.

Second, I saw no desire to see him get beaten up. More a desire to grow the fuck up.

Do you think picking on people and using severe autism as an excuse is a good look?

If he’s aware he may have a different interpretation of what’s appropriate behaviour, he should also have the sense to ask his community whether what he’s doing is OK if he’s unsure. And If he isn’t aware, he’s putting himself in danger and his community - i.e. you - should talk to him about it.

Getting away, for the moment, from the shock news that some people on Twitter can be idiots either all or part of the time, this piece by Freedland in the Guardian reminds us of the fundamentals of the situation. Maybe it can be dismissed as feeble, typical Guardian both-sidesism, but it's well worth a read.

There is a yawning gap between how the world sees Israel and how Israelis see themselves. If only each could see through the other’s eyes

Sorry you don't pick on people with severe autism. Those tweets we're written ten years ago btw.

Those tweets were written ten years ago Andy as for the desire to see him beaten up

Someone should beat him up, but just because he's an annoying little toerag

Pretty clear to me. Yeah let's go kick the autistic person's head in because his views run contrary to us.

Can someone explain to me what's going on here? I don't have a clue - is it really as trivial as it seems?

Close to kittens...

It's pretty clear that remark is saying if he gets a hiding, it should be for being a dick, not his politics, and whatever you can say about autism, going out of your way to try and provoke people for clicks and coins is being a fucking dick. It's also pretty clearly hyperbolic in nature.

Still, if his autism means that his opinions and actions can't be taken seriously as provocation, why then should they be taken seriously outside that framing? Ye can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.

That isn't what I'm saying I was calling out Philip for dragging things up he said ten years ago to use against him.

It was absolutely valid though. You posted his criticism of CWS’s work in here. But we now have context that he has a history of deliberately provoking pro-Palestine groups going back way before the current situation, and also seems to use his autism as an excuse (or you use it as an excuse on his behalf - I’m not clear which).

Either way, we now all know this is not a person who is in any way objective, is likely in fact quite the opposite, and can treat his comments on CWS’s work in that light.

I bought up his autism because I feel very strongly that Philip and the person he quoted was picking on him for stuff he did 10 years ago and the only reason this is being bought up is because he dared to criticise Cold War Steve.

Just for funsies as much as anything, how old is this person? I would like a little context on why "it was ten years ago" is an excuse for acting the bollocks

I don't know really know whay don't you ask him yourself? As for what he did I do recall Tomos did he regretted that. But let's use that against him because he criticised Cold War Steve,

Because he's not the one in front of me going "it was ten years ago" mostly. If you're going to make an argument, it's hardly out of order for someone to ask you to back it up.
