Palestine Action

[WRicko]

People have been protesting about Palestine just fine for nigh on 2 years now. It makes no difference that PA has been proscribed, anybody can protest about it, you just can't support PA who are clearly more than a protest group.

There is no defence for what they have done. Proscribing them is perhaps harsh but then how many other protest groups do you see jumping into our military airbases and damaging our military aircraft?

If you wanted to preserve criminal protests then I can just simply ask do you believe that people should goto prison for social media posts? I guess not?

I'm pretty sure the same folk on here were desperate to lock up far-right social media posters and yet they're desperate to protect the criminal behaviour of Palestine Action, you can't have it both ways.

Lucy Connolly wasn’t charged under terrorism. Despite being racist and ideologically driven and promoting violence that could have lead to death. meanwhile PA have only advocated criminal damage in order to try and stop war crimes and genocide

Errr, you're aware that he was performing The Wall on stage when he wore that outfit (it wasn't a Nazi uniform). Now you might not know this, but Roger Waters was in a band called Pink Floyd - they were pretty good. They did an album called The Wall that tells a story about a guy whose thoughts descend into fascism, and when doing gigs they don't just play but perform the Wall, hence Waters performing in a fascist outfit as he performs the album in the gigs. If you've ever listened to the Wall and you genuinely think that Waters was being a Nazi, then congratulations, you've completely missed one of the main points of one of the most influential and iconic albums ever made.

The Roger Waters smear is absolute textbook Israel lobby tactics - attacking good people speaking up against the constant israeli atrocities by cancelling their gigs, smearing them, calling the police etc, and as usual it is based on complete bullshit. Complete bullshit that you're so indoctrinated and gullible that you've fallen for, again.

Roger Waters has consistently supported human rights causes. His dad died in the war literally fighting Nazi's, so pretty disgusting to smear him like this, but as we've learned israel has no decency or moral standards at all.

“I have spent my entire life speaking out against authoritarianism and oppression where I set it… My parents fought the Nazis in World War II, with my father paying the ultimate price,” he said.

“Regardless of the consequences of the attacks against me, I will continue to condemn injustice and all those who perpetrate it.” Link

Roger Waters remains a great man. The Israel lobby are likely to up their efforts to smear and cancel him now that he has (very bravely) voiced his support for Palestine Action. So expect more smears and bullshit form the israel lobby, as they continue to silence people speaking up against the ongoing israeli genocide

How can you explain why he used a pig balloon adorned with a Star of David on the The Wall tour?

Try googling what he said and what he did after the criticism. You can hear it from the man himself.

Which war crime did PA prevent by vandalising an RAF air refuelling tanker which physically cannot refuel Israeli fighter jets and so cannot possibly be considered to play any part in any Israeli war crimes?

Too reductive.

Another 50 arrested yesterday for holding up a sign

Stop the Genocide i support Palestine Action"

On Friday I drove past the protest I regularly drive past on the school run. Seemed no different to any other time other than perhaps a few more people and I couldn't see any explicit reference to Palestine Action, think some people might have simply cut the bottom off some of the signs. No one being arrested, at that point anyway.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Is it only too reductive because it's true?

Complicity in what Israel is doing should be dealt with appropriately and not via anti-UK activists who use any excuse for anarchy.

And how many arrest warrants for UK MP's or military leaders have been issued by the ICC so far?

No, it's too reductive to associate the action of vandalising aircraft with the immediate prevention of a war crime.

It's much more likely to have been a PR stunt to highlight the use of the RAF in action over Gaza as part of an attempt to change government policy. I don't agree with it, but you can argue it worked.

I also don't think they are anti-UK or anarchists.

Affect ffs.


And you’re talking shit.

And how would you know if it doesn't have any effect?

 

[BlueAnorak]

You're making stuff up. Nothing in the definition of terrorism about aiding a third country.

Go and read the legal definition.

Good.

It’s encouraging to see the police upholding the law and arresting terrorist supporters.

They should try making two signs. One saying ‘Support Palestine’ the other ‘Action’ with ‘for Palestine’ in tiny words. Two signs held by two people who keep coincidently standing next to each other and bingo let the Courts sort that one out :)

Three years for holding up a sign? Christ, Reform supporters got less than that for trying to burn people alive in hostels.

I agree, the police have taken a load of shit over the years, but they have been tied into Government policy, good to see them dragging some of these bellends off the streets yesterday.

£55 million these clowns have cost in Policing alone so far, money we've got far better uses for.

Stimulates the economy. Money spent getting to protests, food and drink at protests, making and printing signs, police and court officials getting sackfuls of overtime.

We should be thanking them and so far they haven’t tried to burn anyone alive, so it’s a win, win situation.

You keep believing that.

Yeah those daily RAF surveillance flights over Gaza can't be cheap ... what are these people thinking of.

The middle aged, middle class idiots being arrested need to be reminded that they will face consequences for engaging in illegal activity.

You only have to look at the posts on here to see that these people typically struggle to believe that the law applies to them.
