  • 1967 Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF)
  • 1968 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC)
  • 1969 Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP)

    I mean ok but the drafters of the Terrorism Act did think of that already, changing your name doesn’t get you out of anything. Both the IRA and National Front were forever peeling off into splinter groups with new names back in the 20th century.

      How does that even work then, do they just decide what group you are supporting?

        Pretty much, I mean that’s why we have judges, to look at all the facts of the case and make a decision on whether this is functionally the same group of people doing the same things as they were under another name. Legal loopholes aren’t as easy as some people think.
