“Thunberg, 22, was earlier arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide”. The British government has proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group.”
The group uses direct action to disrupt the UK arms industry, which it accuses of being complicit with Israel in conducting a genocide. Palestine Action have mounted 45 documented direct actions in the United Kingdom.
“We are concerned at the unjustified labelling of a political protest movement as ‘terrorist’,” the experts said. “According to international standards, acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as terrorism.”
The Government asserts that the group is “terrorist” because some members have allegedly caused criminal damage to property, including at military bases and arms companies, with the aim of progressing its political cause and influencing the Government."
They threw paint on some military equipment. Claiming “criminal property damage” is quite the slanted representation of reality.
Not terrorism
Threw paint in the engine, and went at the plane with crowbars.
Besides, the main incident for which it was proscribed involved a policewoman being badly injured in a brutal sledgehammer attack, to the extent her spine still hasn’t recovered enough to return to work over a year later.
None of what you describe is terrorism. The proscription is a disgrace, built upon a disgrace.
Surely deliberately causing injury with a political goal is terrorism?
What? No. Look it up. Also, PA did not plan to 8njure any police officers
Looked it up. Turns out it is terrorism. At some point their intent changed. A sledgehammer doesn’t hit someone multiple times without intent.
Greta Thunberg is my favorite terrorist
Somehow this will end up the democrats fault.
Relevance?
It’s called a joke.
Jokes are funny.
They’re funnier when you understand them.
Honestly its time to admit you just said a bad joke and move on.
No, it’s time to admit that a lot of people on lemmy are uptight about being called out. You see, the joke was that everything bad that happened to Palestine is blamed on “the dems”.
That it’s downvoted doesn’t mean it’s a bad joke, it just means I unintentionally hit a nerve.
Honestly, maybe it’s time to admit it bothered you and move on. Because that’s a LOT of effort to let someone know you didn’t like their joke.
Dude your being called out about a joke and it bothered you and your crashing out… your kidding right?
