Break in at Brize Norton two jets damaged

So you want more innocent people to be hurt on top of more. Have a word with yourself.

Really, are you for real, you're not concerned that engines of jets had liquid sprayed into them and who knows what else? Are you concerned about what happens when engines fail? Unbelievable.

Interesting to see which part you are more stunned at.

The trouble is that people like Putin, Kim and the ayatollahs haven't really got the message about promoting peace.

How would you feel if that plane were about to go on a mission to drop aid to Sudan? Or Yemen? And now can't because of this action? Or if it had harmed members of our military serving our country?

Thank you for your compliment.
I work full time, am honest and don’t try and disrupt people going about their business. I didn’t go to boarding school and live off trust funds. I wouldn’t dream of vandalising aircraft which had been used in dropping aid in Gaza. If they had been shot then it’s their fault. I suggest these idiots go to the border and beg to be allowed to go and help in Palestine. That might earn respect.
lets be honest they wouldn’t do thst would they?

An extremely unpleasant anti-American, anti-Israeli multi-millionaire backs the American wing of this group. I'm just wondering if foreign governments are funding their training camps and court cases. That group has weaponry. (It being the US.) I don't believe it's just about a bit of paint and a few scooters. It's more sinister than that.

It doesn't cost a lot to take direct action - red paint and boiler suits aren't all that expensive - so most of their funds go towards supporting those who are arrested and charged (and sometimes imprisoned).
People have put on benefit gigs, done collections and set up online crowdfunders, for the most part.

It would be fascinating to know who is funding this group. Follow the money.

Stunts like this only serve to turn people away from the Palestine cause. Likewise the embarrassment of the global march for Gaza, where Egypt deported all the western saviour ‘activists’. This is not how you engender support for your cause.

Not sure why this is relevant to the thread.
If they're 'hypocritical' when it comes to being involved in Palestine Action, what does that actually equate to? That they're secretly investing in the Israeli military-industrial complex and producing arms for them to use?
I'm glad to hear that you are a perfect, non-hypocritical person, doing your most each and every day to make the world a better/ safer/ more peaceful and less polluted place.

If they did that at RAF Akrotiri, they stand a very good chance of being shot.

The RAF over there are on high alert to people who want to disrupt their activities.

My neighbours are part of Palestine Action, also Stop Oil and Zero Waste. They are the biggest hypocrites ever. They put out food and general waste every week. They fly off on holiday when it suits. They have gas heating. They have a trust fund. She went to boarding school. They don’t do any gardening as they believe in natural planting, but it’s an excuse to be lazy. They don’t work, but they spend half their lives preaching on Tik Tok and Instagram. I hope they move soon because I spend my life avoiding them. I bloody wish it was them who sprayed the aircraft….might have a chance of being locked up.

Why wouldn't it go ahead?
The earliest Yvette Cooper (the current Home Secretary) can put anything before Parliament is Monday. There would then need to be new legislation made to have the effect of 'proscribing' the group.

They represent many thousands of people who are trying their best to act in solidarity with the people in Palestine.
At least mainstream media outlets like the BBC are now covering the story of British military support for Israel (something they've kept pretty quiet about up till now).

Organisations like Amnesty International have already come out to condemn the Home Office's announcement.

I agree.

No matter what your view on the situation in the Middle East, no one should be able to get onto a military base and do what they did.

We have a lot of modern technology now. Surely systems should be in place to protect both assets and personnel.

It’s not a Palestinian group, please stop your propaganda. I knew it would be you starting this thead.

I think it will be a meeting without coffee

It is a genocide and now I fully understand why they’ve been allowed to happen in the past- because people will excuse or deny one even when it’s right under their nose

The RAF should be embarrassed by this. Couple of people on scooters but suppose that had been a genuine terrorist or a foreign agent with some kind of bomb or chemical weapon? Seemingly no perimeter security, infra red cameras, motion detectors, roving patrols. Was everybody tucked up in bed? They were lucky it was some paint

Tbf it’s the pp who will have to rethink it, as they will be proscribed.

Cold war and the planes had nuclear weapons so the threat was different

Should have shot them.

You may want to look up the Terrorist Act 2000.
They have disabled 2 military planes.

I'm glad they took action to stop the UK being as complicit in what's happening to Palestine.

For those that haven't been paying attention up till now, Palestine Action are mostly UK citizens who are alarmed by the fact that our military has been assisting Israel's genocide* for the past few years (from our bases in Cyprus) and have chosen to take effective direct action about it (as marching in our thousands almost every weekend obviously isn't working).

It's not 'terrorism' (and arguably not even a crime, if it prevents a bigger crime) to damage war planes in order to prevent them being used to kill and maim Palestinians of all ages. Whatever Starmer and the Evening Standard say. There is a long, long tradition of anti-war activists taking this kind of action (and in many cases being found not guilty by the courts), and I applaud them.
Check out https://tridentploughshares.org/ for just one example.

I am disgusted by all the 'they should shoot them' commenters. If any of you gave a fuck about 'national security' you'd be pressuring your Govt to stop spending so much on weapons of mass destruction (eg nukes) and put more effort into stopping wars, rather than treating them as an ideal opportunity to sell arms made in this country. And you'd be writing letters of outrage about the lax security on bases like Brize Norton.
