"Palestine Action" is terrorism.
- Cyph0n 8mo agoSpray painting a bunch of airplanes is terrorism. Got it. Oh, and don’t come crying when the same authoritarian laws put in place for Palestine Action are used to label your cause as terrorism to quash dissent.
- lmc 8mo agoGuess you didn't see the footage of them attacking the police with sledgehammers? https://news.sky.com/story/bodycam-footage-of-alleged-sledgehammer-attack-on-police-shown-at-trial-of-palestine-action-activists-13474923 https://news.sky.com/story/bodycam-footage-of-alleged-sledge...
- Cyph0n 8mo agoEven if I hadn’t, I surely would have by now given the amount of “gotchas” in this thread using this crime as some kind of smoking gun justification for proscription. But it is good to know that criminal assault is now equivalent to terrorism.
- lmc 8mo agoWhatever. I suggest you take some time to reflect on your biases. What if a group used similar tactics to try and shut down e.g. gay friendly spaces?
- Cyph0n 8mo ago1) Uh.. not terrorism? Hate crime perhaps, but that should be decided by a jury, not unilaterally determined by the gov. 2) So arms manufacturers participating in a war (at best!) are now equivalent to.. gay establishments? I suggest thinking through your examples before sharing them :)
- lmc 8mo agoHa, fair points. But i still think you're wrong. Any group going around hitting people with slegehammers shouldn't be tolerated.
