. Notwithstanding that Israel has gone well beyond corrective action for Oct 7th, protests with destruction are simply acts of vengeance. Not the way to peace. When they marched peacefully in the 60s & 70s; When Mandela dismissed any vengeance in his rise as a Leader; THAT was protesting. .
So the world says one thing, and does another. WTF?! Why is Israel being protected?! They are the predators, not the victims.
This is insane. These are not terrorists. The law should not classify them as such.
Stop complaining about innocent people being massacred !
Israel owns all the white European nations.
ICE tactics
Nope. The protests are in good faith, for the people of Gaza. Unfortunately, the group they associate with started to attack the UK’s RAF planes. As a result, they were designated a terrorist organisation. Hence the arrests. Nothing similar to ICE, but keep the propaganda going.
"Attack planes"? 😆 They spray-painted them! That's *sabotage*, sure (of the mildest sort) but calling it "terrorism" is extremely disproportionate, unless you think "terrorism" is also graffiti on a government owned building? 🤔 Don't defend law just because it's law.
They didn’t just spray them with paint. They damaged the engines too. They lost my support that day. My views on Gaza hasn’t changed but I agree with the law when it comes to attacking our defence forces.
That is still just sabotage, not "terrorism". Would you call the WW2 saboteurs who damaged the weapons that supplied Nazi Germany "terrorists", too? Terrorism is murdering innocent civilians, not sabotage of military equipment owned by a state that ships weapons to a country of genocidal racists.
I’m guess that where you’re from, the government is fine with a group sabotaging its military. Thankfully, here it gets you prescribed, and rightly so. Your comparison is extreme and unfair as the UK has suspended arms sales to Isreal and openly calls for an end to the dreadful attacks.
Additionally, the UK has sanctioned hard line Israelies, and has now stated that it will recognise a Palestinian state. All rightly so. People here are in agreement moment that Israel’s actions are abhorrent.
Something is fundamentally broken when you can threaten vulnerable kids in hotels without consequence, but God forbid you protest against genocide.
Insanity. WTF is wrong with the UK government???
Every time I turn on CNN it's always the Trump show!@#. sick of it!!
Bloody idiots. Palestine can't be controlled by Iran-backed terrorists. Rocks for brains.
It is controlled by Hamas that is finansed by netanyahu and Israel
Oookay.

Finally
Good. Now the USA should ban the KKK and the Proud Boys.
When fascists marches in Europe War is coming ✊
Brits must be confused. They don’t believe they elected Trump; yet their govt is acting like Trump.
Recognise also that Hamas was the democratically elected Government of Gaza, proscribed by Zionist supporters to enable the war crimes of Nazi Israel. Israel is a terrorist State which is creating antisemitism
The Labour Party has caved in to their Zionist Lobby and is suppressing free speech by proscribing Palestine Action who are NOT terrorists. The real story behind this should be the lack of security which allowed genuine protesters (not terrorists) to get near a military aircraft
At this point, the terrorists are the people supporting Bibi and those keeping him in office
Interesting comments. The police are just doing their job following that group being designated a terrorist organisation. Think what you like about Gaza, I’d probably agree with you, but when groups start to destroy the UK’s RAF planes, they lose my support.
As long as all extremist groups are also banned
I've seen democracy and it definitely looks nothing like this.
Now if they were bikers or anti vaxxers they wouldn’t touch them.
No, they just happen to support a group that has recently been designated a ‘terrosit organisation’ following attacks on the UK’s RAF. Would you support the same group destroying Canada’s air force? Good luck if you do. The situation in Gaza is awful , we all know it.
Will support for the fascist thug state Israel and its genocide be treated the same?
UK and United States having a genocide enabler-off
Explain in detail please.
The u.s. is the main supplier of weapons that Israel uses in their genocide, and Britain arrests people who complain about the genocide. Need more?
Nope. Britain arrests people who support terrorist organisations. PA made a massive error of judgement by damaging our RAF planes. While my views on Gaza remain the same.
Not a single one of those 466 people damaged a precious airplane. First the govt unilaterally and politically decides *who* is a terrorist, and *then* they arrest them. Meanwhile you defend an organization literally abetting genocide, nevermind the rest of its history, and stand there, "J'accuse!"
Should the UK and others nations do more? Yes Should the RAF be involved in Gaza? No Is there widespread support for Gaza in the UK? Yes So the stupid action of PA, (acts likely to get themselves proscribed in any country), have now complicated that support, as seen by the arrests made.
Yes the UK should do more than brand as terrorists the resistors to the colonial state (which rob, displace, and murder them) imposed on those resistors by the UK, itself a colonial state. Israel, UK, Palestinians: In what order do you ascribe culpability for the current predicament I wonder?
You’ve completely missed my point - quite deliberately I expect. I’ll leave you on your soapbox to rant…
"I disagree that Palestine Action should be proscribed so I'm going to protest about it and deliberately get myself arrested." And this helps the people of Gaza how, exactly? While you're posturing in London, they're still starving and getting shot at and bombed. You're not making any difference.
It’s nice to see law enforcement working for the benefit of the country. Too bad the country is Israel
The Pro "Palestine" movement is terrorism, same antisemtic Islamic Jihadi fucks in Gaza, West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, DC, UK, and Boulder fucking Colorado. Same terrorism.
👍👍👍
Freedom of speech is being crushed everywhere!
History shall remember the scandalous repression, worldwide, of the denunciation of a blatant genocide by so-called democracies. Shame on England.
It should be recognized as a badge of honour to be arrested while peacefully demonstrating against a fucking genocide.
Actively supporting genocide, as the UK regime does, is illegal under multiple international laws and treaties. The government has a clear duty to *oppose* genocide, rather than jailing those who oppose it on trumped up terrorism charges. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocid...

I keep trying to understand the difference between the war in Gaza and the war the UK, US and host of other nations waged against similar terrorist group ISIS, the only difference seems to be that this one involves Jews.🤔
Finally some terrorists supporters are arrested. Good job.
