Nearly 500 arrested for support for Palestinian Action Group a proscribed terrorist organisation

[NototerrorismIntheUK]

This is getting ridiculous. The same group, think they can do what they want which includes, using a sledgehammer to attack a person, breaking into a military base and causing millions of pounds worth of damage. Hatred towards Jewish people.

It appears these people feel the law doesn't apply to them. None of the above is peaceful protest. Stronger sentences or fines are needed.

It certainly feels like hatred has ramped up and the rise in antisemitism and anti semitic attacks backs that up. I feel we need to look at how people are making others feel fearful and restricting their movements and life's.

Whilst I agree that those using a sledgehammer should be arrested (and charged), sitting down with a sign seems a push.

It also begs the question: how might people validly protest a view you disagree with?
The Hamas attacks were disgusting- but they don’t justify collective starvation or genocide, nor the pager attacks (which had been in planning since before October 7th).

I find pro Israelis to be very much like those who were “Blue Lives Matter”. When you ask them how the other people might protest the answer is “silently, unpublicised and at home.”

Oh so now the problem is logistics? That people simply couldn't put on hold their plans to be arrested and spend a lovely day in London instead?

Such a predictable response though

What? Hamas accepted the deal. Israel have carried on bombing them. Have you seen how the children have died in the last 24h since Hamas accepted the deal? Have you SEEN?

What kind of people do you think Hamas are? NO ONE on this planet would accept a deal to release their bargaining chip, and continue to have their people be murdered and maimed, with no hope for a state for their people. Do you think they're somehow more capable of making that decision than any of us would be? If your daughter was murdered in that way you’d agree to that for a plan? I hope they do of course, but I’d be shocked. How could they EVER trust Israel? The amount of Palestinians they have incarcerated and abused. I hope Israel gets put in its place and they are told that Palestine WILL have a state and they WILL keep to the borders. And that would be a peace deal.

I’m not breaking any laws.

The Suffragettes broke the law.

Martin Luther King Jr broke the law.

Nelson Mandela broke the law.

Some laws are unjust and they are repealed.

Just over 50 years ago it was unlawful for a woman to own property in this country.

It used to be lawful for men to beat their wives in this country.

It used to be lawful to buy and sell slaves.

I agree. But protesting against the genocide in Gaza isn’t inherently anti semitic..

I haven’t been on any protests and I wouldn’t have gone to the one yesterday.

But I have no idea about the logistics of organising and cancelling protests, and I don’t think you do either.

I've just been reading a BBC news report about their reasons and it is laughably nonsensical. People were at risk of harm? No shit, it's a war. A fertility clinic with frozen embryos and sperm samples was in the bombing zone in 2023 so that apparently met the definition of restricting births. Total and utter guff. Offensive even, especially as there are real genocides going on right now.

Look at Netanyahu.

This explains everything

Here's my thread about the violent protest on Thursday night outside Downing Street where police officers were assaulted by pro-Palestinian protesters

And one of my threads about the Tommy Robinson marches

I assume you will ignore this as it doesn't support your view that normal people can't have concerns about both sets of marches containing violent racist thugs.

I want these hate marches stopped. I'm in russia oops I mean Liverpool. Like I said before, it's all a load of the worst conspiracy theories gone wild. It's like people have lost their minds.

Agreed.

There are lots of bad faith actors at play across media, Israel has indicated the next battle ground is TikTok.

Starting with the multi millions of pounds Netanhayu spent on his YouTube campaign, showing blond Israelis interspersed with brown Palestinians.

💯 agree

How did they get their sorry arses there then?

I completely agree. I’ve never had an anti-Semitic thought in my life.

This explains everything

😆

Why are you pretending I posted to you and not lampshades?

You think that these people were forced to attend the march simply because it was organised?

That they don't have any agency themselves and couldn't decide for themselves that policing Jewish spaces in the aftermath of a terrorist attack and near the anniversary of October 7th was more important than their getting arrested for likes?

The people who turned up despite that are absolutely despicable.

How did they get their sorry arses there then?

rolling?

You need to ask mnhq directly, they’ll respond.

@noblegiraffe just do as I do and ignore

Because you seem obsessed with the idea that anyone posting against Palestine Action is an Israeli bot.

I assume this is you accepting that they are not.

Did I say they couldn’t walk?
