The "free pass" is what their supporters want them to have. No idea what PA want, but they would be more useful as peace activists in Israel

They are trying to get the British government to stop supporting a genocide
So not "Action" but "inaction"? They want someone else to do something. How very middle class of them. Why don't they act as human shields in Israel protecting aid convoys from Settlers? That would be useful action
They aren’t in Israel theyre here. We are supposed to be a free country that acts proportionately and sensibly rather than excessively like a dictatorship. Appropriate offences for appropriate matters.
If they want to do vandalism then at least do it to the actual machines involved. But they are not. They are petulant children who cannot be bothered to travel to Israel.
The dictionary definition of ‘terrorism’ is violence or threat of violence against civilians, designed to bring about political change. The UK government’s definition of terrorism is far wider than that, & includes ‘damage to property’. This is not ‘terrorism’ as most people would define the word.
"dictionary definition", or your reading if it? Most definitions of terrorism include acts against government (and we have a legally elected government). Anyway I would prefer that PA are proscribed as knobheads, because they have achieved nothing and don't even have the balls to say who they are.
And do remember that it is "the people" who have to pay for the damage done by the PA knobheads, so yes, they are affecting the population. I would prefer that £6m to be spent on community nurses, but maybe you think we don't need them?
First of all, drop the sneering, patronising tone. I’m not a child & im not stupid. Ok. Secondly, ‘affecting the population’ by costing them money is NOT terrorism. By your rationale, anyone who vandalises public property is a terrorist. Thirdly, that figure quoted for repairs is ludicrous.
It’s interesting that you refer to Palestine Action as ‘knobheads’. Do you disagree with their views on Israel & Gaza, or is it just their methodology you find unpalatable? Have you never been sympathetic to a group who have taken similar action, perhaps because it’s a cause YOU believe in maybe?
And finally, as far as what defines ‘terrorism’, if you study the current legislation, it’s open to so much interpretation that the government could call anyone a terrorist. They’re arresting 80 year olds for holding signs that literally have the word ‘Palestine’ on them. You ok with that?
Lol if you take that much offence because you think your dictionary is the definitive law, then you are either a child, or stupid.
I’m not offended by you. Please, don’t flatter yourself. However, you’re incredibly condescending & I always think we should be open to feedback. Also, *I* do not ‘have’ a dictionary. I’m not Samuel Johnson. I merely quoted the definition from the first dictionary result I came to.
