UK arrests 83-year-old priest for backing Palestine Action and opposing Gaza genocide - Lemmy.ca

They’re calling these people terrorists for holding signs calling for the end of Israel’s genocide. They’re not calling the people who have been committing genocide every day terrorists: they’re valuable allies. This is the UK Government’s morality. I hope it’s not shared by the British people.
Technically it's because some members of the group trespassed in a military base and vandalised an airplane. Which is trespassing and vandalism. Not terrorism. Unless Starmer has been watching to much Thomas & the Friends and Pixar's Cars and believes that the poor planes can't sleep at night anymore, because they are terrified.
Some definitions of Terrorism also include property damage
Well definitions can include anything and everything. They can also be debased to the point of being useless, or in the case of crimes of being the engine of witch hunts.
I do not believe inanimate objects can experience terror, so I also don’t agree with the definition. But I don’t write the laws.
Some definition of genociders also include “brits”
Oooh, waaah, muh paint!

On the outside of the engine I agree.

On the inside there are moving parts that probably don’t like increased friction, so they probably have to take the whole thing apart.

Big deal. The UK has billions of pounds from selling arms to the genocidal apartheid zionist state.

Also, even if a few members organize themselves to do that, that doesn’t mean the entire organization supports it or is behind it.
“We’re civilised people, we can excuse genocide, but throwing paint and saying mean words is a step too far.”
