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.

    without explicitly showing your allegiance

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

        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

            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*

            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.

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

                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…

                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.

        OK but where is the explicit support for Hamas that this woman was allegedly demonstrating. “Hamas” doesn’t appear in the article.

            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!

            ICE is a terrorist organization. MAGA is a terrorist organization. You must be really against both of those things, eh? They use fear tactics and scaremongering, and when that doesn’t work, they get violent real quick. And they are based on both political and religious ideology to boot!
