Just to be clear because everybody seems to be missing this point.

Palestinian Action, is an organisation. Membership of that group is banned, it is not illegal to support Palestinians or to call out Israel's genocide. The government doesn't like it when you do, but it's not actually illegal for you to do it.

This organisation broke into a UK air force base in order to protest. They are not being charged because they protested, they're being charged for breaking in and damaging a lot of military equipment. I think it's a bit far to call them terrorists, but you can sort of see the government's point, if you squint.

The UK government does however absolutely deserve to get it in the neck for their support of Israel. Labour have had a pretty awkward relationship with Israel in particular and anti-Semitism in general for a long time, and they're now keen to be seen as supporters, but there are limits.

Codifying your genocide support into law. Nice.

Nonviolent direct action has earned them the label "terrorists."

The harder they push their pro-Israel agenda, the more anti-Israel everyone is going to get.

You can't bully us into supporting a genocidal regime.

They are doing this because Palestine Action has been incredibly effective. They have already forced the closure of two factories in England that produce arms for Israeli defense company Elbit and forced Barclays Bank to divest through sustained sabotage campaigns. No person has been hurt by their actions, yet these actions have cost the genocide supporters millions of pounds and caused months-long disruptions to the production of weapons used in ethnic clean songs around the globe (Elbit weapons are fueling not just the Palestine ethnic cleaning, but Kashmir and DRC, too).

Labour are class traitors.

Looks like the UK is going down the American road here. It's time for all those UK citizens that said, "Rise up now!" to Americans months ago....time to rise up! Give us a great example!

Oh, you can't because you have to work for a living? How about that....

The most widely celebrated circumstance in the world is being rid of the British government. It’s spawned many holidays.

I support Palestine Action

So the UK is now officially pro-genocide?

Good to know.

Capitalism is genocidal. End capitalism!

I support Palestine action

Death Death to the IDF!

Really? That's kinda fucked up. How did such a law actually get passed? Who assented to this shit?

Crazy. I thought Palestine Action was oddly capitalized. They're a fucking group. They're an organization- I thought they were banning supporting ending a genocide, but they're shutting down a based and vandal-pilled activist group.

Uh, I've never heard of them but fuck it. I support Palestine Action. You can't just censor people or opinions out of existence. wtf

I support Palestinian action in the UK

Look at the United Kingdom giving the United States a run for their money.

Is it Illegal to say

"It is illegal to say...

I support Palestine Action."

Surely there is a typo in the headline, only Russia, land of the washing machine CPUs, puts people in jail for words.

That's good reason to remind people, that law is written by particular people, mostly to protect those people interests.

Feeding, housing and guarding someone for 14 years has got to be ridiculously expensive. All for uttering a few words.
