To think Palestine Action isn't a terrorist group?

I don't agree with what they've done (breaking into military bases to vandalise planes), but I don't understand why they're being proscribed. Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil have caused far more damage to property and general annoyance.

Arrest and prosecute the people who commit criminal acts, absolutely, but this is setting the bar for branding protestors "terrorists" far too low.

Yes, it's going too far, but it's not terrorism. No one's blown anything up or made people afraid to go about their everyday lives.

Extinction Rebellion dug tunnels and occupied Euston for a month. Just Stop Oil blocked ambulances.

The group has said it will fight the ban and consider all options. More violence on the streets of London then. Fuck with UK military and find out. Terrorists.

You can’t break into military bases and cause millions of pounds of damage. Fine to protest but not destruction. You could argue what they have done is treason because it’s put military assets out of service to defend our country

I would think that those in the position to make the decision have more information than we do.

Breaking into a military base and vandalising military equipment is a step far beyond gluing yourself to the road.

It's like assaulting a police officer, it has to be taken more seriously.

Calling those of us that oppose the genocide anti-semitic wasn't enough to stop us, so they have upped the ante to calling us terrorists.

The courts will soon be full, but unfortunately not with those who deserve to be there for the mass murder of innocent lives.

They carry out terrorist activities, therefore they are terrorists. Simple.
