    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.

    Also, even if a few members organize themselves to do that, that doesn't mean the entire organization supports it or is behind it.

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

        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.

          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?

            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.

              Thanks for providing proper context.

              Before they decided to break into a British military base and sabotage planes their status might have been debatable.

                  You might want to re-read that article. It doesn't mention Gaza once. Here are some quotes:

                  "fighting between Israel and Iran"
                  "protect UK personnel and bases in the Middle East"
                  "we've never been involved in attacking with Israel"
                  "we've got assets out there they need to be protected given Iran has suggested they might be under threat"

                    That's the definition of vandalism. Feel free to open a dictionary and educate yourself.

                      Yes, that is vandalism by definition.

                      "Vandalism is the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.[1]
                      The term includes property damage, such as graffiti and defacement directed towards any property without permission of the owner."

                        Apparently they sabotaged the engines:

                        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.

                        By committing that act they’ve successfully played themselves.

                                  Mandatory Palestine

                                  the UK is against backing "Palestine Action" which is a group that has sabotaged British military equipment. Surprisingly, the British government doesn't take kindly to that sort of thing.

                                        without explicitly showing your allegiance

                                        So you assume that there's either an explicit or implicit support for Hamas by protesting against Israel?

                                        Sorry for using difficult words. Make simple for you now:

                                        • protest against Israel: Ok
                                        • protest for Palestinians: Good
                                        • support Hamas: very bad

                                        Understood or brain still hurt?

                                        So support for Palestinians is only ok if you don't support the one thing Palestinians could actually do to stop the senseless slaughter of more Palestinians- armed revolutionary action?

                                        So basically one can only wave a flag and cheer against the slaughter of Palestinians by Israel while vilifying the group that Israel deems it’s enemy for checks notes dealing back the same damage dealt to Palestinians for over a century now since Zionist terrorist cells who would become the Israeli military intelligence apparatus and political elite, waged campaigns of massacres, bombings and assassinations all across British mandatory Palestine forcing the British to leave their occupation and the un to split the territory 55/45 in zionists favor. So essentially we are denied to cheer on reciprocal retribution by a population clearly wronged through decades of subjugation, brutal
                                        Oppression and genocide because of the sensibilities of colonial capitalist imperialism?

                                        Got it

                                          Not even close, I mean you probably colonized my people good and tried to beat the Indian out of us, for which I hold a grudge, particularly to the church. But don’t let my criticism deflect from your attempt at a strawman rant. You probably wouldn’t even be able to find my country on the map, since it’s not a white nation.

                                          P.s. the Americans are the bastard children of Europe, not of my people, so don’t put that on me.
