The Reverend Sue Parfitt, from Bristol, was detained for holding a placard that read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” She was among more than 27 people arrested on Saturday for acts of defiance against the proscription.

    trying to stop delivering arms to a terrorist group commiting genocide: terrorism

    commiting genocide and deliberately killing, maiming, starving and playing cruel games with the lives of civilians and literal children: not terrorism

    talk about bad faith… fuck off with all that.

      Thanks for providing a textbook example of bad faith arguing.

      My point was that you can protest for the cause of Palestinians without showing allegiance to terrorist organizations.

      You are not only claiming that you must support organizations that are defined as terrorist, you pretend I was the one defining their status.

      Well done. (slow clap)

        Still haven’t explained where they did this but yeah they’re the ones arguing in bad faith.

        Try harder. Can I get the contact information of your handler, I think you need some additional training…

        where’d that “must” come from? straight out of the anus I assume?

        i don’t give a shit about what groups are “defined” as terrorist; it’s a designation given by governments for political purposes, often commiting much more heinous crimes themselves and usually for the specific purpose of distracting from that fact and suppressing any opposition including what would otherwise be free speech, which is exactly what’s happening here.

        the biggest terror organization in the world is the US Armed Forces. unless you show me people getting arrested in the UK for supporting the US you and all of you “terrorism” concern trolls can suck a bag of dicks.
