  They literally arrest you for supporting Palestine in the UK.

    They’ll arrest you for supporting Palestine Action which has been designated a terrorist group by the government. You wouldn’t be arrested for peacefully protesting and supporting the Palistinian cause.

      Why was it designated a terrorist group. Who have they killed and what crimes against civilians have they committed?

      I am being rhetorical of course and besides it has already been determined unlawful.

      It is clear they attempted to illegally suppress human rights in support of Isreal.

        JTAC based their assessment largely on the Filton incident where a police officer suffered possibly life-changing injuries after a PA member attacked them repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

        The underlying basis was the definition used in the Terrorism Act, of a group that commits serious damage to property in order to influence government policy. The UK is one of the few places to have such a broad definition.

        I’m not arguing about the designation, that’s up to the government. However the people that been arrested for holding up the signs knew exactly what they where doing and had been warned before their arrests. They were protesting the proscription of Palistine Action rather than generally supporting Palistine.

        We will find out how it all plays out once the appeals process is completed.

        Palestine Action beat a police officer on their back with a sledge hammer, fracturing their back. It was pure luck this wasn’t deadly.

  Critisizing israel but still sell wespons, share intel and impose no sanctions on the state of israel itself. That’s called hypocrisy

  Might be both. Tell Israel it’s to help, but make records to make the case to exit the war.
