    Can you support “the political prisoners of Palestine Action”?

    Can you say “Palestine Action is not a terrorist organization”?

    Can you say “Outlawing Palestine Action is terrorism”?

    Or is that also illegal?

    Fucking fascists… A sad end to the Labour Party, but it was clear what would happen after they stabbed Corbyn in the back.

      Fascists? Virtually the entire house of commons voted them a terrorist organisation, not just Labour. That was because they attacked UK military aircraft on a UK military base and concocted an excuse for doing it. That got them branded terrorists.

      This does not in any way stop people rallying for Palestine or the appalling inhuman injustices they’re suffering. I’m sure there are marches happening all the time, not to mention charities to donate to, social media feeds to amplify atrocities. Just don’t attack UK bases or support those who do and you’ll be fine.

      As for Corbyn, he wasn’t “stabbed in the back”. He lost two general elections in a row and he resigned. If he was still there for the last election he’d be sitting in opposition in charge of an even smaller party surrounded by a clique. He was not some saviour for Labour, he was the bane of it.

        “Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.”

        If you call this terrorism, you can call anything terrorism, and anybody can be a terrorist. If you’re willing to do that to aid the Israel fascist state, that makes you a fascist. Yes, the entire house of commons are fascists.

        And sure, that was very much illegal and they could have used any number of laws applicable to attacking a military base. Just not terrorism. But the UK military is involved in a partnership in the gaza war. They are not “non-combatants”
