Palestine Action

Yeah those daily RAF surveillance flights over Gaza can't be cheap ... what are these people thinking of.
You mean the surveillance flights near and around the middle east , where the RAF were assisting in the search for hostages taken by HAMAS and are quite willing to hand over any evidence of war crimes. I assume they will come out of the UKs Military budget not another drain on the public purse caused by policing a bunch of clowns who believe the law doesn't apply to them.
 
Go and read the legal definition.
Go and quote your legal definition. What even is a "third country"? What's the "second country"? I'll stick to the real definition.

 
A lot of little Chairmen Maos on this thread, I see. Probably cheering the crackdown on protests in Hong Kong a few years ago too.

So Israel has a right to ignore International Law because they do not agree with it? Surely, if you have a rules based system then breaking those rules should have consequences? Many people believe abortion is murder, the law and lots of little Chairman Maos disagree.

I think your comparison between pro-democracy protesters in HK, and people in the UK supporting a group attempting to change government policy through threats and violence, is completely false.
 
Chairman Mao's mistake was advocating a near-anarchistic mass movement that promoted "questioning everything, overthrowing everything"(怀疑一切,打倒一切) and the idea that "revolution is blameless, rebellion is justified."(革命无罪,造反有理)To label him as "crackdown on protests" is inappropriate.

Yeah, about the same level of exaggeration necessary to label spray painting a plane as terrorism.

Absolutely. But multiple people on this thread have made the argument that it is right that they have been arrested purely on the grounds that they've broken the law, with no consideration for whether that law is just. So in that sense, the equivalence is completely apt. "Break the law, suffer the consequences" applies equally regardless of the morality of the law or the legitimacy of the regime putting it in place.

Now of course I'm not stupid enough to believe that the people making this argument on this thread genuinely believe it. They are in favour of these people getting arrested not out of some deep devotion to law and order, but because they dislike the people who are being arrested and oppose their 'side' of the debate. But I'm just playing the cards they've dealt.

Even if the rules are draconian and exist purely to silence someone the government disagrees with? We already did have a rules-based system. The people who spray-painted a plane broke the law and will be punished for it. What the little Chairman Maos are celebrating is the introduction of brand new draconian rules to silence free expression because they disagree with that free expression. Nothing more.
 
This is the problem when you have a two Keir tier justice system.
Which government brought in the new legislation?

soon change their minds when ST prices go up or Cit take their picture without asking...

I think peaceful protest is allowed. However, unpeaceful protest is not allowed. That is the line in the sand that our democracy has drawn. How difficult is that to understand?
