UK arrests 83-year-old priest for backing Palestine Action and opposing Gaza genocide

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.

Some definitions of Terrorism also include property damage
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.

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)
wrote last edited by [email protected]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).
-
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
Oh, I see, you think that just because the UK labeled Palestine Action a terrorist group, they actually are?
…
Hey, come on over, I got a bridge to sell you!

Another week of genocide in #Gaza.
Supported by German politics, concealed by the German media, ignored by the German public.

"Are we the baddies?"
-Said exactly 0 of the cops

I support Palestine Action - illegal
I support Action for Palestine - legal
I support P.A.
gets arrested
I said I support Pennsylvania, the US State!

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.

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

There is only one context in which Palestine Action is "a terrorist organization such as Hamas" and that's the depraved legislation that the idiots in Westminster passed. The bravery of the 83 year old priest this article is about lays bare the depravity and stupidity of this absolutely idiotic legislation. Your comment on the other hand, by using this idiotic comparison buys into this aberrant degeneracy. Why do you do that?

I think more people have alts on lemmy than we'd like to admit. Particularly when they're accounts spewing hasbara propaganda.
Unidan is taking AIPAC money.

Those innocent European priests never abused anyone…. Oh wait
-
Attacked aircraft? By smacking the landing gear with her walker?
Please inform yourself: People of the Palestine Action group have sneaked upon a british military airfield and sprayed paint into the jet engines of several RAF planes.

You're equating vandalism to terrorism, you might want to look up the meaning of those words.
The British House of Commons voted by 385 votes to 26 to add Palestine Action to the list of terrorist groups proscribed under the Terrorism Act. Maybe you want to tell us why your definition of terrorism is different from the one in the British parliament?
-
Just wondering, if I would hold up a sign with 'go isreal, continue the amazing work you do!', would that get me arrested? Surely i'd get beat up but i mean what would the lawmakers think of that? Would it be different if the sign would say 'go isreal, murder those innocent families' or 'go isreal, your genocide rules!' (am i allowed to call it a genocide if i'm not against it?)
None of those signs would lead to your arrest in the UK.

As someone stated... The police are not your friend. They are not there to serve and protect your interests. They are there to serve and protect the interests of the state you live in.
The other day my wife's car stopped at a busy road. The police quickly arrived and asked if she had crashed on to my car. Like how can we take this unfortunate event and turn it into a profitable situation where they can impound the car...oh it's just engine failure, well you're blocking the road so I'll call the most expensive possible tow truck. How can we make your day worse?

So? Did the paint damage the planes? The RAF should give them an award for exposing the vulnerabilities in its security measures.

Yes, putting paint into a jet engine damages a jet engine.
