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

I support Palestine Action - illegal
I support Action for Palestine - legal
I'm honestly impressed that a left wing organisation lasted long enough to get themselves banned.
They usually split into a dozen warring factions within a month.

To be fair, China does it all over, especially in Africa. Russia probably would too if they could.
The Russian Federation is de facto a Moscowite empire. And they are trying their best to annex more countries into their "Federation".

There is such a thing as context. Red paint on a street is an annoyance (and may make for very visible and effective protest). Red paint on hi-tech equipment is sabotage (and makes for very unpleasant reactions by the owners of said equipment).

Oooh, waaah, muh paint!

On the inside there are moving parts that probably don't like increased friction, so they probably have to take the whole thing apart to remove the paint.
It's still not really destruction of property.

The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: âI oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.â She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription.
Uh, I've had enuff of shitty news; let's switch to another timeline.

If she were in the US, she would be pushed to the ground and beaten by a bunch of white guys in riot gear and masks.
What a nice silver lining

It's sabotage. It's not terrorism. The gov is wrong to proscribe this group, you must see that? Regardless of your stance on the issue, this is an anti democratic move by Labour.

Big deal. The UK has billions of pounds from selling arms to the Apartheid Zionist state

I hope you see your loved ones suffer.

Why is the UK against people backing Mandatory Palestine?
Because they helped set israel up and have to be allied with them.

The joke is that Mandatory Palestine was the name of the British colony before they gave the land to Israel

Oh, thank you for explaining!

I'm gonna try it again maybe this time you will understand: praising a good priest is not much different than praising a good scientologis, you can be a good person without associating yourself to a cult that threat people to believe in ghosts
Why this level of vitriol and condescension in this exchange?
I'm also going to repeat... Taking your stance to an extreme, and you have yourself a reductionist view of the world with nothing but intolerance or hatred for those who don't share it. Sounds familiar?
I don't know what's going on in your life, you could be going through something and I don't want to add more to the pile of what you're already dealing with. So I'm just gonna leave this here, because I suspect that even my concerning tone right now will read as passive aggressive to you. It isn't. But I can't control that.
So take care.

"One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these - to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity."

Sabotage can absolutely be terrorism. In this case probably not, but the British government has a valid reason to oppose this specific group.

Way to show your ignorance.

I didn't mean to say say sabotage could not be terrorism in general, I'm agreeing that this is absolutely sabotage, but in this case it is not terrorism.
The govt do not have a valid reason to proscribe them as a terrorist organisation. There are other available methods of opposition.
Terrorism is generally linked with a risk to personal safety at the very least, not mere property damage. These people are criminals, not terrorists.
