Palestine Action demo 9 August

They kill and kill and kill and kill. Yet some will still try to defend the indefensible. Atleast some Israeli voices are now finally accepting that their government and the IDF are carrying out a genocide.

That's just shit and not even MSM believes it. Even Israeli media casts doubts on the IDF version of events which is saying something.

As will we, thanks.

There is no massacre, and with Hamas infiltrating the aid queues people getting shot is very, very likely to be a legitimate military response to a threat.

@Bunion8 what is out of step with the majority of the British Public is the view that breaking into a UK Airforce Base and deliberately causing millions of pounds of damage to Aircraft with the specific aim of damaging the UK’s military capabilities and leaving taxpayers to pick up the bill is a legitimate protest.

I will say what I want thanks. Can't believe people are so bothered over a peaceful protest whilst Israel are continuing to murder and massacre Palestinians.

If Palestine Action wins its appeal against being a terrorist group, that will make any arrests unlawful.
The police will then be subject to compensation claims from all those arrested.
The police have a very difficult task facing them, so it’s not quite as simple as just “bang them up”

I'm not bothered by a few peaceful people holding placards saying they are against genocide, no.

I think you should stop telling people what they should think.

i think there’s been a mix up here.

On Saturday there are several protests.
1 by Defend our Juries which is about the legal right to Protest for which 500 people are expected this will claim support for Palestine action in order to challenge the legal case which proscribed them as being a terrorist group.
1 large March in support of Palestine of which there have been many
1 anti immigration protest.

I’m not sure which you think is out of step with the majority of British people but here is a letter signed by 500 Jewish members of leading professions (including human rights lawyers) who state that the proscription of Palestine Action is unlawful

I think people on this thread should read the room. Everyone should be against the genocidal state of Israel for what they are doing to innocent Palestinian children. Starving them to death!

@Bunion8 if they are holding signs expressing support for a proscribed Terrorist organisation then yes, they should be arrested. That is the law after all.

Palestine Action group has been responsible for some pretty nasty attacks, including an attack on a Jewish owned business in North London. They claimed it was because the business had links to Elbit but this is simply not true, it was just Jewish owned.

I suspect that they have read the room but that some people in the room are a wee bit too trusting that everyone is as well intentioned as they are.
Lawfare is a bit less disruptive to innocent bystanders and they seem to be pursuing a court case, they're surprisingly well funded.

I will be watching along on tiktok live as I have my dd who is only 6

It would be too crowded for her, although I wholeheartedly support the protesters and pray for peace for the innocent Palestinians 💛

The action on Saturday is by Defend our Juries and is about the right to protest.
There are supposed to be 500 people silently holding signs.
Is this to be condemned in Britain today?
Should this be an arrestable offence

@Bunion8 that view is very much out of step with the majority of the British people who do not see attacks such as the one on Brize Norton as simply “economic damage” nor as a legitimate protest.

Even Just Stop Oil has belatedly recognised how counter productive their protests have been. It’s time Palestine Action read the room.

What about the attacking police officers with a sledgehammer? Was that non-violent?

What does this have to do with Palestine Action.

Palestine Action support non-violent protests.
Economic damage does not a terrorist make
The attack on Brize Norton highlighted the direct link between the RAF supporting Israel’s bombing of Gaza.

Do people really believe that breaking into a UK Airforce base and inflicting damage on Military Aircraft (at huge expense to the taxpayer) with the specific aim of impacting the UK’s military capabilities is legitimate protest?

I wonder in which countries this wouldn’t be regarded as an act of terrorism?

The ideology precedes the latest useful crusade by centuries, or rather millennia.

That's the extent of the brainwashing. You are convinced to turn your back on your fellow countrymen, in support of an ideology, that wants to destroy you. It's absolutely mind boggling.

Forgive me, but as a Jew, you don't speak on behalf of all Jews. If we are being told that calling out antisemitism shuts down debate, then why can't Islamic extremism be discussed, without being told we are racist. Your part about being 'useful' and Jews' use expiring, I won't comment, other than to say, I find that ironic.

Thanks for this. God knows I think Just Stop Oil are troublesome fools and SY-L and his ilk are a deeply unpleasant and dangerous stain on the country but they’re hardly comparable to Islamist terrorism. I can’t believe people are so blasé about the Brize Norton incident.

Again, I’ll ask “where’s the link to radical terrorism”. I’m genuinely interested as I support the right to protest, but if the group had been hijacked by terrorist groups I’d like to know. I’ve just checked and Islam was not mentioned in the court case against them so why are you linking them…. unless you know better than the Judiciary?

Pslestine Action have also been given the right to appeal the decision that proscribed them a terrorist group which wouldn’t have happened if they didn’t have a firm legal claim.
