I’d be interested to know who did this, and why, rather than knee-jerk to anti-Jewish violence. I would first assume that the violence is anti-Israel, with no information, given the current political climate.

It’s my understanding that Hatzola aren’t politically active and that some of their members are actually anti-Zionists. If they were targeted by anti-Zionists, then these criminals are ignorant, stupid, or anti-Jewish…I wouldn’t assume the latter.

Jewish or Israeli?

The distinction matters.

[–] i_ben_fine@midwest.social 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This might be a dumb time to ask this question. It's an ambulance service in London. It's Bri'ish.

[–] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don’t know if you’re aware, but they can be Bri’ish and Jewish and/or Zionist at the same time.

I’m still trying to figure out when the ambulance converted to Judaism

[–] i_ben_fine@midwest.social 1 points 5 days ago

I do not believe you're ignorant of why a Jewish community would have its own volunteer ambulance service. Which doesn't leave many options for your JAQing.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It really doesn’t since 85-90% of jews support the Jewish state as it currently operates. This was also an Orthodox Jewish service so definitely Israel supporters.

Entirely made up statistic by an actual antisemite piece of shit. Go fuck yourself nazi.

“Surveys in other countries where there is both a sizable Jewish community and a coruscating wave of antisemitism have delivered similar results. Hamas and its international cheerleaders are widely detested, and Israel is regarded supportively and affectionately.”

Yes the number is likely around that 85% mark.

Of course that’s what that data says - it’s from the fucking Zionists.

If I grab curated data points written by a group wanting to promote their agenda, I too can back up unsubstantiated claims.

The problem clearly stated with your “polls”

Go home racist.

You can share and question sources without resorting to insults.

They don't help your case and just make you look insecure about your argument.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Your sources are older, from before October 7th and the rallying around Jewish identity.

To mimic your point. Of course that’s what the data says - it’s from “liberal” jews trying to cover for Israel.

[–] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

oh my god. You’re not worth the air you breathe you antisemitic piece of shit Nazi.

Do me a favor and the rest of the world a favor eat an entire bottle of advil.

You aren’t worth the energy it takes to move my thumbs. You aren’t worth the air you breathe. You are a complete waste of a pile of shit.

Kill yourself, you racist fuck.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

That’s a lot of words to not refute my previous statements. You know I’m right and can’t / won’t accept it. The Jewish ethnoreligion sees you as cattle, a slave for when they rule the world.

Wtf is there segregated healthcare in the UK?

[–] MyMindIsLikeAnOcean@piefed.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Two things:

  1. It’s not restricted the the UK. Hartzola (the various orthodox Jewish ambulances services) operate all over the world.
  2. Although they tend to be based in majority Jewish areas, they don’t restrict their service to Jews, as part of their code.

So is the point to cover specific religious taboos?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Not exactly. The Orthodox Jews run their own service in a lot of places. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatzalah

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 22 points 1 week ago

I'm not familiar with situation in the UK, but in other countries there are NGOs that try to complement the national healthcare services, ranging from financing ambulances to at home care. They are often tied to religious movements.

At a quick glance, Hatzola Northwest seems to provide services for free to everyone in their catchment area, so any segregation is geographic in origin.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Jewish people throughout the world reap what Israel has sown

Having said that, don't think for a second that this group aren't Zionists

Hartzola? They’re not Zionists, to my knowledge. They tend to be Jewish orthodox healthcare professionals, most of whom are neutral on Zionism, and some who are even anti-Zionist.

[–] davetortoise@reddthat.com 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not at all relevant if they're zionist or not. It's a volunteer ambulance service

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I disagree

And if you've seen how orthodox jews treat other people in London, you might sing a different song

[–] davetortoise@reddthat.com 13 points 6 days ago

Civilians are civilians. Nothing can ever justify attacks on healthcare infrastructure. That's an absolute
