Comment on Journalist Richard Medhurst arrested under Britain’s Terrorism Act
Mrkawfee@feddit.uk 4 weeks agoYes that’s my point. They were a terror group and then weren’t when the US decided. In the same way that Sudan was a state sponsor of terror until the US decided otherwise.

In both cases it was recognising the occupation of Palestine.
Also if committing massacres made the PLO a terror group then surely the IDF should be a terror group many times over since October 7th but instead it receives billions in funding and weapons from the US and UK

As I said it is a form of political repression.

No, it’s when you commit terrorist acts that you become a terrorist group. Like the PLO did, repeatedly, over many many years, and bragged about.
Terrorists are by definition non-state actors.
And yes I’ve seen the Pallywood stuff coming out of Gaza just like everyone else has. It’s the same bullshit they pull every time they cross a line and find their shit getting pushed in by Israel like in Lebanon in 1982.
In 2023 total UK arms exports to Israel totalled £18.2 million. We do not provide them with foreign financial assistance.
So you were only off by a little bit.
In 2023 Israel received approx. £3.3 bn in foreign assistance from the USA, the large majority loaned to purchase US supplies of both defensive and offensive munitions. That same year, Egypt also received about £1.5 bn in foreign assistance from the USA, Jordan £1.7 bn, etc.
Yes, that’s why it’s good

Yes, in the same sense that I deny the existence of unicorns. I’m also a unicorn-denier.
