UK arrests 83-year-old priest for backing Palestine Action and opposing Gaza genocide
-
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.
Now I understand more closely Starmer's subservience to America's Donald Trump.

I saved your post about saving a post because it makes me less depressed and more warm and fuzzy inside. You are a good person and you clearly care
wrote last edited by [email protected]Oh, thank you so much. I wish I let myself believe that I am what you just described. You do seem to fit the description you assigned me very well from this very brief interaction.
Let us all keep spreading warm and fuzzy feels on and on to as many people as we can.
The world certainly needs an antidote to spread against the vile current that is dragging us all into a hole of despair.
We can't let that happen!
Unfortunately, I often do let myself go in that direction.
So thank you for pulling me the other way.

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

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

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.

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?

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

But how would I telegraph my desire to murder the Jews if I did that?
To simply imagine Palestine without settlers, to simply imagine a sky without drones—that, in the Zionist imagination, is genocidal. If you stick with the “want” of the charge, the notion that Palestinians want to kill all Jews, you find that Zionism is at war with our future. It is at war with our ability to articulate, even if only through poems and protest chants, a future in which Zionism does not reign. For in the past 100 years, Zionism has situated us in a condition of constant dispossession and premature death; our Nakba remains and renews. We are besieged in an inescapable, eternal present tense.

Were there people holding up signs for these in public places?
As a German I sincerely apologize for people like this guy here

Where did they show support for Hamas?
terrorist organizations such as Hamas
Can you get more bad faith?
Just stop using Palestinians as as guise for your love of terrorism.

the IOF is a terrorist organization. much bigger, more prolific and active than Hamas as well. literally a war criminal organization. funny how you never hear people getting arrested for supporting the IOF though.

trying to stop delivering arms to a terrorist group commiting genocide: terrorism
commiting genocide and deliberately killing, maiming, starving and playing cruel games with the lives of civilians and literal children: not terrorism
talk about bad faith... fuck off with all that.

Genocide accomplices!
Everyone involved with this "law" should be tried and hung in the Hague for aiding and abetting crimes against humanity.
Let's not hang people in The Hague now

No they're not. There's a difference between "Palestine Action" (the group) and "actions and other stuff in favour of Palestine". The former has been banned, the latter has not. Protesting is legal in the UK; vandalising Air Force equipment is not.
Damaging equipment that is being used to conduct genocide is not vandalism, it's human fucking decency.

Are there any pro “IOF” demonstrations anywhere?
Holding up a sign in support of a terrorist organization will (hopefully) get you arrested.
You might argue that “Palestine Action” should not be defined as a terrorist organization.
You can hold up a sign supporting them to protest the designation. You will be arrested however. That’s just what happens.
Personally I’m not so sure that Palestinians will benefit from all that.

This article is about the UK. The UK is pretty much the mothership of what we calls "the west".
