Comment on UK flying reaper drones above Lebanon from Cyprus base
stsquad@lemmy.ml 3 hours agoI’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.

Yeah I am not sure that is accurate to say people were only protesting the act of it being banned. I am sure the majority also supports ending the genocide that the UK refuses to designate as such.
When you can excuse human rights abuses it is all pretty much moot anyways.

I didn’t say that they were only protesting the ban. That is what they were arrested for through.

Oh, I thought you were implying that. Sorry for misinterpreting it.
