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.

Taken from Facebook. Does she look like a terrorist?

Here's another photo of her with a hammer and chisel smashing the glass protecting a rare copy of Magna Carta. What an innocent old lady she is.

They were protesting in support of Palestine Action.
The protest was not held because they supported the views of Palestine Action ( which are more or less the same as most who claim to support Palestinian liberation), but the actual terrorist group.
A seemingly slight, but in fact great difference.
So no, free speech in support of Palestinian liberation is not being suppressed.
Support of a terrorist group which interferes with British defence is being dealt with.
And if that is what got that old lady out of her bed onto the streets, I'm sure at her big age she knew what could be the attention grabbing consequence.
And like is often being said about any bad things that happens outside of Gaza...." People are worse off in Gaza" than that old lady.

Criminal yes, terrorist NO

Her arrest 'peacefully holding a sign' was probably orchestrated on her part. She seems to like being arrested, claiming to have been arrested at least 28 times.

Also, supporting a proscribed terrorist group doesn't mean that you, yourself are a terrorist. You seem to misunderstand that point.

Unless you think they are supporting genocide, then, in my view, go right ahead.

Good luck with supporting that.

I would absolutely love for you to explain what a terrorist looks like.

More arrests within Palestine Action group. What a surprise. They are now officially terrorists. Go and see what they look like.
