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.

Why have you proscribed views to me that I don’t hold?

And why have you conflated yourself with Netanyahu?

The ones who were arrested weren't protesting that. They were supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation.

The suggestion that those who do not support or at the very least don’t object to the Pro Palestine groups and marches somehow infiltrating from outside is propaganda itself. The very fact that those who aren’t pro these groups and marches feel they can’t voice their views openly in my opinion shows just how toxic the debate itself has become. I suspect that the majority of people do not agree with the marches and groups but have been silenced out of fear.

exactly

It was definitely not unlawful for a woman to own property in this country 50 years ago.

Suffragettes were arrested - and sent to prison - for violent acts including bombings. There was a major rift between them and the non-violent suffragists. Many historians believe that the actions of the suffragettes in fact delayed the grant of women's suffrage (which followed more directly the contribution of women to the WW1 war effort)

The point is we don’t know who anyone is on tinternet.

Do you think that painting criticism of yesterday's marches as Israeli propaganda is helpful?

Where did I do that? I’m suspicious of posters with strong views but barely any posts to their name, sue me.

The worst thing is that they seem to say because they are a pensioner/vicar/hold a tin pot degree or think of themselves as ‘educated’ or part of the met political elite that this makes their disgraceful protesting acceptable and credible. It really isn’t acceptable in any shape or form.

Supporting Hamas is really a low bar, doing so whilst there was a direct attack on British civilians is gutter level behaviour.

No one wants to see anyone die in the Middle East, we all hope for peace, but running around in a deranged fashion with placards stirring up racial hatred is not cool, and it never will be. I would be disgusted if I knew anyone doing this in real life.

Its baffling isn't it.

It seems people are suggesting the only way to protest about what's happening in Gaza is to hold signs saying you support a proscribed terrorist organisation.

It's absolute nonsense, there are loads of ways to protest, slogans to use, that wouldn't get them arrested. They know that. They want to waste police resources.

They just need to sit down with a sign that doesn't say "I support Palestine Action".

They could hold a sign that says "I support Palestine" or "End the War in Gaza". "Support Gazans".

If they support Palestinians so much why don't they do that?

Because they are incapable of seeing anything other than their ‘cause’. They are blinded by their self-righteousness.

Because it boggles the mind as to why anyone with their moral fabric still attached would think opposing a genocide is a bad thing hence why the only conclusion is that you’re part of the propaganda. The threads on here are constant and it’s the same names supporting Israeli agenda.

yep

Yes, because police won’t arrest the scary ones, because they are chicken imo. Probably because they are at risk if they do. Interesting times.

Thank you. Its possible to be have opinions about a range of things. I think some dont like tgat everyone has different views and the easy route us to pretend bots, paid comments etc. People just have different views. I just felt that the marches didn't really achieve anything but increased tensions in the UK and made some individuals fearful.

Or get behind the peace plan for example!!!

😂 because you said this thread was full of Israeli bots!

I haven’t “proscribed” any of your views, strange as I find them. I’m not prescribing any to you either. I’m just responding to what you wrote. But if you do in fact think it’s legit that a lot of people are worried and scared by the tone of public debate & frightened after Thursday then I’m delighted that you can see and understand their position. It is possible to hold and understand multiple positions. Rather than this binary polarisation which tears people apart.

Agreed, it’s constant.

If ending the killing is the top priority, protest for Hamas to accept the deal. That is literally the one thing that can stop it right now.

If you don't like all terms of the deal, the particulars can be amended over time in peace and stability. What boggles minds is that you could think it's a genocide and yet not want to take the clear step that would stop it.

Do you believe that foreign destabilisation is a real thing that exists? Go and watch The Americans - they got their stories from real
life. Destabilisation is when populations turn on each other, and it is a serious threat to democracy. In other words - the problem is not the problem.

The marches are designed to intimidate Jewish people. They support the annihilation of Israel. Anyone going on them is supporting radical Islam and at best a useful fucking idiot. No one in my friendship group supports this nonsense, thankfully.

But why exactly do you think this? Is it not anti semitic to weaponise the deaths of 2 Jewish men to allow a foreign state to continue a genocide? Are you saying that the Jewish community in Manchester/the UK are responsible for the Israeli governments actions? Is that not anti semitic?

Earlier on I was a bot or paid by Israel and a name changer and now its the same names. Maybe I just have a different view to you. We don't all think the same way.

Enjoy your day. I'm off out with my dog.

The Hamas/Gaza cult going to these protests genuinely seem to think that anyone suggesting that they should be respectful given the atrocity this week is a bot. It’s absolutely ludicrous.

I don't support the Israeli government, but I sympathise with the pressure they are under to safely bring those poor hostages home.

This.

Would you have felt as uncomfortable walking by the Tommy Robinson march recently?
