  this is only going to get solved by mass lawsuits for wrongful arrests and not a single guilty plea.

    It’s not a wrongful arrest though, she was supporting a proscribed terrorist group, rather than any other legitimate group.

  Being an old, white, middle class woman shouldn’t make you above the law.

  Supporting a proscribed group when there are dozens of legit pro Palestine groups is obviously a stupid thing to do.

  Tankies feel free to downvote ❤️

    The government are now just branding any and all anti-Israel, anti-IDF, pro-palestinian rally or protest as “supporting Palestine Action” and using that to shut it down and arrest people.

    Whether or not anyone actually said or did anything in support of that particular organisation.

    Whether or not you believe that defining Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation or not, that’s a dangerous precedent to set.

      No they aren’t. Palestine Action is illegal. Because they’re terrorists. The rest are fine.

    The law is so vague that anything vaguely Palestinian can get you arrested for supporting a terrorist group depending on the whim of the arresting officer.

    This is an attack on the right of protest pure and simple.

    You’re the daftest fucking idiot alive if you think spray painting a slogan makes you a terrorist organization.

      I’m sorry that you’re a terrorist-supporting idiot.

      Literally kill yourself.
