Six Palestine Action activists face a retrial after being acquitted in February following over a year in prison. If convicted, the six Palestine Action activists and 18 others will likely be sentenced as terrorists, facing long prison terms. The jury has not been notified about the ‘terrorist’ designation, and the British media cannot report this information under a court order. Activists will also be prohibited from telling jurors how their efforts sought to impede the Gaza genocide
Anyone defending israel is a fucking terrorist
psychopath
Fascist terrorist psychopath
It’s got nothing to do with defending Israel. Wind yer neck in. Palestine Action is a proscribed group due to it using violence, damage to property and breaking into military bases to promote and further their political aim, literally text book definition of terrorism.
Remember they’re the ones who broke into a company, threatening the staff with hammers as they smashed up the place and where one of it’s members broke the spine of a female police officer sent to deal with it, hitting her in the back with a sledgehammer as she laid on the floor.
If we’re going with “textbook definitions”, then let’s apply the “textbook definition” of what is acceptable political action against a government that enables a genocidal apartheid regime.
Textbook definition my ass.
The UK already has laws that cover all the crimes you described. We don’t need to add a label of “terrorist” which takes every crime and scales the sentence an order of magnitude. Especially when it’s added secretly and the jury doesn’t even know what they’re finding them guilty of. Especially when they’re not even allowed to describe the reason for their actions to the jury.
This is a sham court!
“Those who die are justified for wearing the badge of your chosen whites”
Genocide enabler, lol.
“Proscribed group due to it using violence.” But nvm Israel and whoever supports them, right?
My guy, the UK created Israel as a settler colonial project and innocents have been murdered and oppressed for decades, and your take is “they should be stopped, they’re going into companies (that directly support the Zionist project)!”. Just say you don’t care about non-Whites and that the status quo should be maintained regardless of the lives lost to it, at least you’d be honest.
Almost all of their acts involve spray paint and the sabotage of weapons and equipment involved in destroying Palestine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action
If this is the event in question there doesn’t seem to be a lot of evidence they were acting under the banner of Palestine Action. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c79727zeqyvo
And if we’re comparing hammers to bombs that are maiming and vaporizing Palestinian civilians forgive me if my sympathies are as nonexistent as Israel’s right to exist.
