Is #FakeFur campaign undermined because #StephenFry supports #Israel?

Stephen Fry: people who were offended by the support for the genocidal regime in Israel he provided in his ‘alternative’ Christmas message are now offended by his campaign to end the persecution of bears to make military uniforms, suggesting that he has had nothing to say against the slaughter of innocent Palestinians in Gaza.

That much-loved institution of British comedy, Stephen Fry, is in the news again – this time with a campaign to end the use of real fur in military uniforms. But has he undermined himself by supporting a genocidal, rogue state?

He’s calling for an end to the use of real fur in the bearskins worn by the King’s Guard:

Personally, This Writer thinks he makes a good point; there’s no reason to hunt and kill bears when synthetic materials can be used instead, and will do just as good a job.

And others agree:

But there is resistance – and it is not related to the fur trade at all, but to much-loved institution of etc etc Stephen Fry’s apparent support for Israel, as demonstrated in his ‘alternative’ Christmas message.

This Writer published an article about that last month, discussing ways in which it caused offence.

Sadly, this offence has now overflowed into much-loved etc etc Fry’s other interests, So we are seeing messages like these:

And their points are valid too. Aren’t they?

    I like Stephen Fry and he is right about the bears. I do think he has gone badly wrong on Israel though.

    Stephen Fry demonstrates his contradictory stance wherein men murdering bears for their fur is rightly condemned by him and yet he believes it is okay for the fascist/zionist Israeli regime to continue its systemic mass murder of Palestinians!

    Regardless of the cruelty of killing a bear to make one hat there’s the cost. Going by last years figures the cost, per hat, is just a little over £1,300. That’s £1300 for a fkn HAT, ONE HAT!

    I submit this is not value for money. They are worn on parade and not on any other kind of duty. They are impractical even for parades. They are useless for anything else. Cheaper, more practical hats are available at a fraction of the cost. Spending approx £150,000 a year on useless hats is poor value..
