I support Palestine Action
Death Death to the IDF!
Really? That's kinda fucked up. How did such a law actually get passed? Who assented to this shit?
There are terrorists in the Govt duh, that's how.
Surely there is a typo in the headline, only Russia, land of the washing machine CPUs, puts people in jail for words.
Crazy. I thought Palestine Action was oddly capitalized. They're a fucking group. They're an organization- I thought they were banning supporting ending a genocide, but they're shutting down a based and vandal-pilled activist group.
Uh, I've never heard of them but fuck it. I support Palestine Action. You can't just censor people or opinions out of existence. wtf
So the UK is now officially pro-genocide?
Good to know.
Ever heard of the East India Company?
It the Irish potato famine?
:gestures broadly at history:
Bro. Great Britain is responsible for this whole mess: it’s called the Balfour Declaration.
They are doing this because Palestine Action has been incredibly effective. They have already forced the closure of two factories in England that produce arms for Israeli defense company Elbit and forced Barclays Bank to divest through sustained sabotage campaigns. No person has been hurt by their actions, yet these actions have cost the genocide supporters millions of pounds and caused months-long disruptions to the production of weapons used in ethnic clean songs around the globe (Elbit weapons are fueling not just the Palestine ethnic cleaning, but Kashmir and DRC, too).
Wow protestors these days will stoop to the level of wisely putting pressure on major companies supporting genocide?!?
First property damage and now this??
clutches plastic pearls
Mossad has insane control over the world
In a “broken clock is right twice a day” type of thing, all the conspiracy theorists talking about how Jews secretly run the world have a bit of a point, although it’s specifically the Israeli govt/military and not Judaism as a whole. We, the most powerful military in human history, just hand them shit that goes bang for ethical (religious and lobbying) reasons and to actually hopefully bring about Armageddon. It’s disgusting
I support Palestinian action in the UK
Freedom of speech anyone?
UK doesn't have a "First Amendment"
Tbf, the US seems to be ignoring the First Amendment as well
So, if they shut down and a new org called "Palestine Initiative" that happens to be coincidentally led by the same folks... all good?
If you’re serious, no, not all good. By UK law any organization led by the same people will automatically be labeled a terrorist organization.
Looks like the UK is going down the American road here. It's time for all those UK citizens that said, "Rise up now!" to Americans months ago....time to rise up! Give us a great example!
Oh, you can't because you have to work for a living? How about that....
UK has always had that 1984/Brazil (the movie, not the not-movie) vibe; it wasn’t all just pulled out of Orwell’s magic butt.
There is also legislation that can be used to arrest most protestors. And you can face a multi-year prison sentence if you say something wrong on social media.
The UK is actually further along the dystopian path than the USA in some ways, but as is tradition they are trying to pretend it's not happening.
During the Korean war a British unit was being overrun by the Chinese. The American general asked the British Colonel how things where and the Colonel said its a bit hairy. While the American general took this to mean they are ok. They got overrun and everyone in the unit was killed or captured.
I love these kinds of stories, but I think that specific example is just a misunderstanding of idioms, rather than an example of pretending something isn't happening, though.
Is it Illegal to say
"It is illegal to say...
I support Palestine Action."
?
Flashback to...
Did you know that it's illegal to say "I want to kill the president of the United States of America"?

The harder they push their pro-Israel agenda, the more anti-Israel everyone is going to get.
You can't bully us into supporting a genocidal regime.
I have a feeling they can. If all discourse over social media is anti Palestine and no one can refute it, I give it 10 years max before it would just be a frothing hate for Palestinians with a significant amount of the population.
They are already trying to do this and failing miserably at it. Censorship itself is an admission of guilt and is something that people are really starting to understand. That's basically the point of my original comment: the harder they try to stop dissent, the more guilty they look.
Information can also be spread offline.
This is why the Fediverse and VPNs/Tor etc. are so important.
My fucking brain is so fried.
Both my parents were in World War II. They fought against fascism. I was brought up to feel for what happened to the Jews during that war. Now all I see is that they seem to be being worse than the actual Nazis.
Yeah, nah.
The only people who win when you conflate Israel with all Jewish people are Zionists and Neo-Nazis.
What Israel is doing is very much Nazi like. But saying such will get you banned on Mastodon.social, and probably prosecuted in places like Germany.
Codifying your genocide support into law. Nice.
Nonviolent direct action has earned them the label "terrorists."
When the sentence is the same for non-violent protest and for actual terrorism, don't be surprised if things get more extreme quickly.

It may also be illegal to refuse to give over passwords for your devices. For trivial stuff this doesn't apply but a terrorist group it likely does.
So remember to practice good data security.
