The UK has been criticising Israel for attacking Lebanon though.

Like I said, if Israel wanted recon they can just use their own drones. Seems like people are jumping to the conclusion that we're gathering intel for Israel rather than collecting our own Intel to get an idea of what's going on.

    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.

    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.

    Of course when the video was released to the courts it showed it was the police officer doing the brutalising on the protester. Not surprising the police would lie.

    As they falsely claimed. The planes they damaged had nothing at all to do with israel.

    Flying over Palestine and helping the israelis target missles at children sounds like a lot to do with israel.

    Just because you want to offload the blame for the genocide entirely on the israelis, doesn't change the reality that the UK has been complicit every step of the way for the eradication of 1000s of Palestinians families

    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.

    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.

    If you can be convinced that anyone is evil then you'll happily commit evil against anyone. You're no different to the Zionists

    now there's some BS pulled out of your ass.
    Not 'anyone' is genociding a whole country are they?
    They can die, and so can their bootlickers and hasbara agents.

    No, designated as a terrorist group because they broke into an RAF base and damaged aircraft.

    Criticising Israel and opposing genocide is perfectly valid, attacking a country that's stuck in the middle of it because you don't like that they're embroiled in a 100 year old mess they've been trying to mediate the whole time, is a different thing entirely.

    If Palestinian action wanted to make a difference they'd target the Israeli embassy but they didn't, because they're not protestors they're saboteurs.

    Uk leadership should rot in jail for selling arms for a settler colonial power called Israel . The united kingdom is sponsoring Israeli terrorism . Yes those who infiltrated it are saboteurs sabotaging military targets complicit with genocide . Palestine action is just like antifa a decentralized group each member is responsible for it's own actions. The High Court recently ruled that this proscription was unlawful too but because the uk support genocide they still want to arrest people.

    Might be both. Tell Israel it's to help, but make records to make the case to exit the war. That or blackmail Isreal to moderate themselves, but they have no shame so I don't think it's that.
