Fascists look soo stupid with their trumped up charges on words.

Death death to the idf
What I love is the wording of this. They said the case wasn't moving forwards because of a "lack of evidence". Not that there was no crime committed.
The whole thing was filmed and broadcast on TV. Exactly what extra evidence was needed to bring this to court?
Not a crime and should never have been treated as one. Complete waste of time and money.

Yeah, as you pointed out, the chant was done in a public place. So "lack of evidence" is a prosecutorial euphemism for "we have no case."
Not familiar with the specific law in question, but for a lot of laws intent and knowledge at the time of crime matter. Eg the difference between manslaughter and murder is a difference in attitude.
I could plausibly see that in this case there is not enough evidence to determine what the mind set was, while the physical action still undoubtedly took place.
Eg in Germany showing the Nazi salute or displaying a swastika are illegal, except for artistic or educational purposes. A case could be constructed in which a defendants intent when showing either the gesture or the symbol could not be clearly deduced. This not enough evidence exists wether a crime was committed, even though the physical action that would constitute the crime undoubtedly happened.
Could be a similar thing is at play here.
Why would they prosecute him for a change? WTF is happening with the world.
Me: Prosecute? Speech? You can't, get fucked.

Oh that sounds bri*ish as hell, makes sense, didn't have a chant starting loicense.
Ex police officer arrested (though not prosecuted, still held for more than a month) because he quoted Trump after Charlie Kirk got involved with a projectile.

At least in the US, that is illegal to do. Now good luck prosecuting that until a lot of police reform happens because that's a whole issue as well, but that is illegal. Over there he'd be convicted and sentenced on top of being held.
There's a thing called freedom of speech, not freedom of warcrimes. Death to the IDF!
Any reason why this group of people gets so much more protection than others?
We can criticize just about anyone, but when it comes to Jews it's off-limits.
I think that's kind of unfair and bullshit. They shouldn't have this power over us.
It's not about protecting jews it is about protecting zionists. There are anti israel jews that are forcefully arrested
Because 6 million of them were exterminated in WWII and they have faced centuries of blood libel and hatred.
Don't confuse hating what Israel is doing with attacking "the Jews". Totally different topic.
But it's okay to say christianity is a death cult?
Also, I disagree that Jews are immune to criticism for the reasons you stated. Literally every group of people has faced persecution throughout history, including christians. That doesn't mean we can't criticize them.
Unfortunately, you're probably going to ban me just because of my previous passage, proving my point.
Nobody should be immune to criticism. But you should criticise people for their actions, not their being. I hate the Israeli state, not because they're Jewish, but because of their actions in gaza.

Oh stop predicting a not yet existing victim state.
Every time you use "the Jews" as a pejorative makes you look more and more like a Nazi and brings you one step closer to a ban. This is NOT a Nazi bar:
Feel free to criticize Zionists and Israeli war crimes all you want, but if you can't (or won't) separate those actions from the Jewish people themselves you can GTFO.






Got this lovely message shortly after making this comment:

What were they "investigating" for 6 months? It was a nationally televised event. The decision to press charges or not should have been near instantaneous.
The "investigation" was meant to intimidate and silence opposition to Israel. It was obvious from the start it wouldn't hold up in court.
The Zionist UK government managed to cancel multiple Bob Vylan gigs by scaring events from hosting Bob Vylan. Dragging it out was on purpose. Also Bob Vylan had to refrain from making the chant for a while when it was very popular fearing prosecution.
They were too busy saying to Palestinian children, "death death by the IDF!"
They knew they had nothing, but spent 6 months trying to pin something on it so it wouldn't look like a blatant attack on the first amendment.
I hate to side with any rapper but my love of free speech overpowers my hate of noisy poetry.
