Hamas legal bid to be REMOVED from list of proscribed terrorist organisation.

What the legal challenge is happening at protests is it? Are mumsnet users taking part in the legal challenge? If not then what's the reason for the posts 'I bet some mumsnet posters will be happy' and 'I never see anyone say anything against Hamas at protests so they must by default support them' nonsense posts then? There's plenty of threads dedicated to that shite talk too in case you missed them.

This whole thread is just a ridiculous excuse for a rant demonising people who believe in Palestinians right to exist. Not a single one of you actually thinks that a government who have repeatedly refused to condemn Israels actions, refuse to sanction Israel for breaking international law and are actively helping Israel will take Hamas off the proscribed terrorist list.

There's more outrage shown about things that will never happen or things that haven't been said or done than there is about things that are actually happening.

This thread is to talk about a legal challenge to the UK government prescribing Hamas as a terrorist organisation. If you dont want to talk about that, why click on the thread?

This legal challenge is actually happening. If you are referring to things that are actually happening in Gaza, there are hundreds of threads expressing outrage at that.

I have seen the London marches, they're full of masked protesters ( some with Hamas colours/masks) and horrible signs which are definitely anti-semitic. I don't know why they are allowed, they're matching for hate, not peace.

Nailed it.

A UK law firm trying to get a terrorist group off the proscribed terrorist list. Bizarre and quite sick. I thought support for terrorism was illegal in the UK unless shouting for hamas eh.

Unfortunately they some of them didn’t do that . Instead they some of them threatened protesters who did condemn Hamas.

Fixed that for you

Since you haven’t specified any particular protest, I’m assuming you’re talking about UK protests in support of Palestinian citizens generally (which have seen hundreds of thousands of British people take to the streets in the last 2 years).

Claiming that every British person who stands in solidarity with innocent Palestinian citizens is also pro-Hamas is total crap.

Hmm ..
I can only speak about what I’ve seen/ heard/ read.
I didn’t see any protesters in London who openly condemned Hamas. ( and I have personally seen evidence of protesters who appear to support Hamas … defacing hostage posters / insulting Iranian anti Hamas protesters in Trafalgar Square etc)
I didn’t hear about any evidence that protesters were publicly and openly condemning Hamas from posters on here or on social media.
I didn’t read that pro Palestinian protesters were openly condemning Hamas in the media

I’m afraid I can’t take you seriously as you’ve just told me I’m talking crap without providing me with any evidence.

Anyone who wants a better life for Palestinians should be anti Hamas. The pro Palestinian marchers should have openly condemned Hamas on the marches ( in addition to their criticism of Israel ) . Unfortunately they didn’t do that . Instead they threatened protesters who did condemn Hamas.

Israeli settler violence only? Where does that leave the thousands of children who were killed by the Israeli government- the IDF?

Apparently it's pro bono. And they deny that they support Hamas, despite the solicitor posting a lot of pro-Hamas content on his Twitter. Which I thought was supposed to be illegal but oh well.

Here we go. This is about a UK law firm wanting something that’s really disturbing.
Doesn’t make any difference to the current conflict.
I really think religion should not mix with politics ever. Don’t care what religion, it shouldn’t be used as a political platform in any government.
Any law firm or political person should not bring in religious views to UK law.
We do not serve Israel or Palestine.

you sound...supportive.

Ok carry on acting childish with your laughing emojis 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ll use whatever emojis I want thanks! Accept my explanation or don’t, it’s up to you. I’m sure if you agreed with the substance of my points you wouldn’t be nitpicking over the emoji, which has already been fully covered.

Disbelief is a different reaction to laughter so I’m still baffled as to why you thought the laughter emoji was an appropriate response.

Most pro Israel people on here will criticise certain things the IDF have done or are doing. But as to who is responsible for starting this war - it’s Hamas.

Please just argue your case respectfully and without laughing emojis. Completely inappropriate when discussing war.

As I said above (which you’ve obviously already seen) – my response was in open-mouthed disbelief at the absolute absurdity of this poster’s attempt to argue that if anyone is to blame for Israel slaughtering 50,000 innocent civilians, it is not Israel (who apparently have no agency whatsoever), but in fact Hamas.

The absolute refusal to accept any criticism of anything that Israel does is just breathtaking.

Last week they murdered 15 paramedics and openly lied, stating that they had no blue lights on, and also claiming it was a restricted zone (a status they cynically put in place 1 hour after the killing). I suppose that was Hamas’ fault as well?

I don’t support Hamas in any way, shape or form and was sickened and horrified by both the Oct 7th attacks and the open apologism that followed for Hamas in some quarters.

This doesn’t make Israel’s killing of civilians and disregard for international and humanitarian law ok.

“Anyone who wants to support Palestinian civilians should be marching for the removal of Hamas first.“
I agree - although I’d more happily support a march that condemned both Israeli settler violence AND Hamas.

Factcheck your claims- Hamas wants to eradicate ILLEGAL OCCUPATION by a Zionist state and not Jewish people.

Anyone who wants to support Palestinian civilians should be marching for the removal of Hamas first.

Mumsnet is full of toothless platitudes about ' I condemn Hamas' followed swiftly by ' But it didn't happen in a vacuum did it?'

"They were naughty but I can understand why' is enough for Hamas. They wanted more hatred of Israel and they are certainly getting what they want in this country.

Shameful for us.

I hope they fail. I also hope this leads to the arrest of terrorist supporters.

Are the solicitors being funded by the proceeds of terrorism?
Or is another country funding them?
Or are terrorist supporters in the U.K. funding them?
Or are they choosing to do the work for free as they support terrorism?

This country needs to sort itself out and quickly. If it doesn’t I wonder what the country will be like in 5/10/15 years.
