I don’t follow British politics; all I know is typically what I gather from headlines that pass through my feed.

I was under the impression that the government did not support Palestine as they were arresting folks who spoke out in defense of Palestine and against the genocide.

Now I’m seeing headlines saying Britain (amongst others) are set to recognize Palestine statehood.

So what’s really going on?

      Not justification, I never said I agree with the arrests. I’m just sharing the facts of the situation.

        Palestinian actions goal is to effectively do damage to military equipment’s used in the genocide and the whole reason the u.k designed them as terrorists is exactly this , only allowing protests that won’t change anything . So yes the facts of the situation is that the uk is arresting people supporting the end of the genocide and support for palestine

      Mandela was the founder of the paramilitary wing of the ANC, which had a bloody campaign of bombings, murders, armed robberies, and massacres in South Africa and neighbouring countries. He very much was a terrorist.

      In any case, they were the only person who actually answered OP’s question.

        Now he is an hero. You look like a cultist supporting the government blindly and would have supported the maintain of the apartheid . Palestine action didn’t kill anybody too.

        You seems to be from the uk, if it is the case your country was responsible for more terrorism then anti apartheid leaders fighting for black liberation in south africa
