Comment on UK flying reaper drones above Lebanon from Cyprus base
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 hours agoJTAC 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.

Oh gosh one person severely injured, that is horrible. I am truly sorry for their suffering as no one deserves treatment like that.
On the other hand there have been a verifiable 172,000 Palestinian injuries with over 72,000 estimated deaths.
The government knew full well what they were doing and anyone defending it should be ashamed to defend this abuse of human rights. There is no doubt in my mind about this because it is a verifiable pattern.
Just like UKs support of Israel.
