Aircraft that are being used to bomb innocent civilians should be vandalized.

These planes are not bombers, and carry no weapons.

Setting fire to a UK plane that is being used to genocide people

These planes are not being used for that in any capacity.

I look forward to your moving the goalposts.

Well don’t leave us in the dark. Why didn’t you bother explaining what the planes were actually used for? You’re clearly trying to portray the Palestine activists as cliche violent anarchists who destroyed government property for no rational reason. That is really the only reason you wouldn’t explain why you think they did what they did. Likely it’s something that’s still clearly genocidal, but you didn’t want to mention that so you could get that “moving the goalpost” zinger in.

So let’s actually look into this, as you failed to do so in order to muddy the waters.

Oh hey, they’re mid-air refuelers.

So we’re not talking bombers carrying out bombing runs, we’re talking about flying gas stations that top off the tanks of the fighters and bombers carrying out bombing runs. These war planes directly used to enable genocide.

Any sane person would call this “a distinction without a difference.” You didn’t bother explaining what they actually vandalized (really just painted) because you wanted to make it seem like they torched a random civilian airliner or something equally irrational.

But I guess this is just “moving the goalposts” in your warped reality.

  I said these planes were used to bomb Palestinians. And that’s exactly what these mid-air refuelers have been used for, even if they didn’t carry any bombs themselves.
  
  Verifiably false. The RAF has not been bombing Gaza. And before you bring it up, no, the RAF has not been refuelling Israeli planes either. The British use an entirely incompatible air-to-air refuelling system. And even if they magically didn’t, they wouldn’t be parking the planes in rural Oxfordshire.

    Again then, please illuminate us. This is a pretty well organized group. They don’t just pick targets randomly. If you have all the answers, illuminate us on why these planes were targeted instead of just whining.

    Indeed. If they are a well-organised group with rational people, it would seem odd and uncharacteristically incompetent that they managed to pick literally the most inappropriate target in the entire RAF inventory. Assuming their motives are as they say they are.
