Ban on Palestine Action to take effect after legal challenge fails
Being a member of, or showing support for, the direct action protest group will be a criminal offence after judge’s decision
In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.
Israel has the world wrapped around it's genocidal finger. Trump likes to talk about how "unfair" it is when other countries get any sort of aid, but Israel has us uprooting everything we've built to AVOID ANOTHER HOLOCAUST while slurping down more aid than Ukraine who is taking on the world's most belligerent superpower
So many people are afraid to say it, but it's Jewish money that's bought them off. You used to be called antisemitic if you talked about Jewish people running everything like it was a conspiracy theory, but the past few years have proven they run things or can buy those who do.
Seeing how so many Israel apologists have so much power is like seeing a headmaster defend the school bully, but much, much worse. they're always like "NEVER AGAIN" about the Holocaust yet they've made a piss poor effort at preventing a genocide that's happening right now and are actively pouring petrol on a fire
The government bundled the law with ban of other groups like a neonazi group to force voting for the law
And folks say the US is backwards! 🤣 What a joke the UK is.
I don't know what it is about Israel that has made politicians the world over lose their minds.
The turd doesn't fall far from the ass
At least this is just one group of palestine supporters. In the US you get deported for any sign of support for palestine.
Another hearing is scheduled for 21 July when Palestine Action will apply for permission for a judicial review to quash the order. In the meantime, and unless the judicial review is successful, membership of, or inviting support for, the group will carry a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.
So they have a hearing, and presumably legal representation, but they can't legally have any members at the time of the hearing? What a load of shit.
Seems a good way to destroy the legitimacy of the government. That's not representing the will of the people.
Finding out part of fucking around.
Countries don't usually take kindly to people or organizations that break into military bases and vandalize equipment.
protesting genocide by any means if more ethically current than following the law.
We're taking about genocide, the worst crime known to manking.
Doing something that gets your org banned by a government that isn't even the one you're protesting seems not only ineffective but counterproductive to me.
Censorship laws in the UK are quite dystopian, but even in less authoritarian countries, this kind of action would result in serious consequences.
And? that equipment was being used to further a genocide against the Palestinian people. half of which are children. just because a government considers something unlawful doesn't mean it's morally wrong
All that equipment was going to Ukraine, which is also undergoing a genocide by Russia. They just happen to have a proper military, unlike the Palestinians. This was not a good move, and the protesters were probably coopted by Russian agents.
