Ckear support for proscribed terrorist groups must be treated very seriously

[ENGLANDalltheway]

72 pro Palestine protesters arrested outside a court in London for showing support for proscribed terrorist organisations.

Doesn't help our society and doesn't help people thousands of miles away. Fed up with individuals showing support for terrorist groups. Peaceful protest but its crossing the line actually supporting proscribed groups. It further divides our already polarised society.

Sky News today.

terrorist supporters in name. They weren’t before it was proscribed. Supporting PA isn’t supporting Hamas if that’s what you’re trying to equivocate.

Never said it was.

Supporting Palestinian Action is supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation. Simple really. Anyone arrested holding signs showing support for a proscribed terrorist organisation knows what they are doing and knows it is illegal. They should be arrested.

Supporting homicidal psychopaths like Smotrich and Ben Gvir should also be a criminal offence in the UK, they're as much terrorists as anyone.

Never seen anyone shouting their names in support. It"s possible to not agree with support for proscribed terrorist organisations and also disagree with the actions of some members of a foreign government. It's not an either/or situation.

However, we do see and hear individuals shouting for a proscribed terrorist organisation Palestine Action.

The scroutes who carried out assault and criminal damage in the name of their beloved proscribed terrorist organisation will be doing time now.

Think it was a PR story apparently.

😂

Counter terrorism in various countries obviously wrong and Iran doesn't fund terrorism then. 😂

It is "either or". Wearing a t-shirt saying "I support Ben Gvir", who is clearly a very disturbed and evil individual who has a long track record of inciting war crimes and other human rights abuses, would have no legal ramifications for the wearer.

Yet wearing a t-shirt saying "I support Palestine Action", a group that has harmed no one, will get the wearer jail time.

Clear double standards, but I guess PA doesn't have the same lobbying power as the Israeli govt.

It really doesn’t make you appear legitimate when you turn what I posted into meaning something completely different.

Do you understand the law at all?

If something is illegal eg supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation then its illegal. Its not hard to understand.

Never seen anyone wear t shirts supporting people from other governments. There are a lot of awful individuals but there aren't laws for random worldwide individuals whereas there are laws against supporting proscribed terrorist organisations.

Just because I don't support proscribed terrorist organisations or people who assault police officers with sledgehammers or cause criminal damage it doesn't follow than I support the actions of individuals who are awful. Whats with your binary thinking. If you don't support x (proscribed terrorist organisation) doesn't mean you therefore support y (individuals in Israeli government).

It is possible to support the people of Palestine without supporting proscribed terrorist organisations. You do realise that? 🤔

They’re not an organisation though are they? Supporting Trump isn’t a criminal offence,nor is supporting Putin. If he’s not a homocidal maniac i don’t know who is.
The govt haven’t even proscribed the ROGC which is something that also needs to happen.
Im sure law-abiding Gazans would love to know a police officer was almost battered to death in their name. Absolutely ridiculous.

Exactly. The argument is rather childish.

(I also don't support Trump or Putin).

Indeed, imagine what hitting a female police officer with a sledgehammer did to support the people of Gaza 🙄 mindless goon.

You really need some evidence for those statements - has anybody been sent to prison for wearing t shirts supporting either Ben Gvir or PA?

To suggest the group has harmed no-one also ignores the female police officer with her spine fractured by a Palestine Action supporting bloke, welding a sledgehammer, who is now on prison. Another inaccurate statement.

Thanks for the rebuttal.

I don't really understand what is going on in our supposed "elite universities" between these scumbags, the idiots lying in the road to prevent them being taken to prison and the guy jailed for chanting "put the Zios in the ground" (he said he'd "workshopped" the chant at Oxford University).

I'm increasingly tired of wars and quarrels far far away dominating our political life.

Indeed.

Workshopping antisemitism hate speech. They need to have a good look at Universities.

UPDATE:

Court rules that the ban on Palestine Action under Terror legislation was lawful.

There is no doubt now. Sing the songs, supporing Patestine Action supports a proscribed terror organisation! Correct result. Very divisive group.

Just peacefully support WITHOUT waving banners supporting proscribed terror organisations. It is possible.
