    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?

        Because they are unfairly biased in favor of Israel. The U.S. has shown its bias by denying the war crimes that every serious scholar has agreed is happening. The state of Israel itself has tried to shoehorn “criticism of the state of Israel” into the definition of antisemitism.

        Governments will stretch and distort definitions to suit their purposes.

        That vote just shows us the British House of Commons is full of racists. Nothing new there.
