    Honestly, you have way more stuff going that need to apologize for.

    Maybe look up Palestine Action before commenting:

    In June 2025, the Home Office announced that it intended to designate the group as a proscribed terrorist organisation after the group broke into RAF Brize Norton, vandalising and damaging two Royal Air Force Airbus A330 MRTT refuelling planes by spraying paint into their engines.

      The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription.

            terrorist organizations such as Hamas

            Can you get more bad faith?

            Just stop using Palestinians as as guise for your love of terrorism.

            Yeah, they're the ones arguing in bad faith 🙄

            "Stop arguing in bad faith" *proceeds to immediately make the most bad faith argument I have seen in this thread*

              Thanks for providing a textbook example of bad faith arguing.

              My point was that you can protest for the cause of Palestinians without showing allegiance to terrorist organizations.

              You are not only claiming that you must support organizations that are defined as terrorist, you pretend I was the one defining their status.

              Well done. (slow clap)

              Still haven't explained where they did this but yeah they're the ones arguing in bad faith.

              Try harder. Can I get the contact information of your handler, I think you need some additional training...

                They're calling these people terrorists for holding signs calling for the end of Israel's genocide. They're not calling the people who have been committing genocide every day terrorists: they're valuable allies. This is the UK Government's morality. I hope it's not shared by the British people.

                What if it is an excuse to put people that openly oppose colonialism and authority under control and fear? They maybe don't care that much for Israel but why miss this opportunity?

                  How explain word “like” simple? Difficult but I try - for you.

                  • Orange like grapefruit - both fruit
                  • Toyota like Ford - both car
                  • Hamas like “Palestine Action” - both terrorist

                  If still difficult:

                  • grapefruit more sour than orange - still both fruit
                  • Toyota better than Ford - both still car
                  • Hamas way way worse than “Palestine Action” - still both terrorist

                    Technically it's because some members of the group trespassed in a military base and vandalised an airplane. Which is trespassing and vandalism. Not terrorism. Unless Starmer has been watching too much Thomas & the Friends and Pixar's Cars and believes that the poor planes can't sleep at night anymore, because they are terrified.

                      What really happened here: Members of this Palestine Action group sneaked onto a military base and attacked the aircrafts there. This act of politically motivated vandalism resulted in this group being officially banned by the government. Which is totally ok, no state in the world will and can tolerate some group doing acts of terrorism and/or doing sabotage.

                      Supporting banned terrorist organizations is of course also not allowed (which really makes sense) and yeah, this priest totally did that on purpose. You are therefore totally fine holding up a sign supporting Israel and you are also totally fine holding up a sign supporting Palestine, but you are not fine holding up signs supporting banned organizations.

                          Well definitions can include anything and everything. They can also be debased to the point of being useless, or in the case of crimes of being the engine of witch hunts.

                            where'd that "must" come from? straight out of the anus I assume?

                            i don't give a shit about what groups are "defined" as terrorist; it's a designation given by governments for political purposes, often commiting much more heinous crimes themselves and usually for the specific purpose of distracting from that fact and suppressing any opposition including what would otherwise be free speech, which is exactly what's happening here.

                            the biggest terror organization in the world is the US Armed Forces. unless you show me people getting arrested in the UK for supporting the US you and all of you "terrorism" concern trolls can suck a bag of dicks.

                              Or you you could just, you know.. protest against Israel and pro Palestinians without explicitly showing your allegiance to terrorist organizations such as Hamas.

                              Why are you talking about Hamas in a thread about Palestine Action? The two groups are not related at all and use totally different tactics (Palestine Action is explicitly non-violent).

                                Oh, I see, you think that just because the UK labeled Palestine Action a terrorist group, they actually are?

                                        What really happened here: Members of this Palestine Action group sneaked onto a military base and attacked the aircrafts there. This act of politically motivated vandalism resulted in this group being officially banned by the government. Which is totally ok, no state in the world will and can tolerate some group doing acts of terrorism and/or doing sabotage.

                                        Supporting banned terrorist organizations is of course also not allowed (which really makes sense) and yeah, this priest totally did that on purpose. You are therefore totally fine holding up a sign supporting Israel and you are also totally fine holding up a sign supporting Palestine, but you are not fine holding up signs supporting banned organizations.

                                        You're equating vandalism to terrorism, you might want to look up the meaning of those words.

                                          Honestly, you have way more stuff going that need to apologize for.

                                          Maybe look up Palestine Action before commenting:

                                          In June 2025, the Home Office announced that it intended to designate the group as a proscribed terrorist organisation after the group broke into RAF Brize Norton, vandalising and damaging two Royal Air Force Airbus A330 MRTT refuelling planes by spraying paint into their engines.

                                          Funny, I wasn't aware vandalism is a synonym to terrorism.
