    The government are now just branding any and all anti-Israel, anti-IDF, pro-palestinian rally or protest as “supporting Palestine Action” and using that to shut it down and arrest people.

    Whether or not anyone actually said or did anything in support of that particular organisation.

    Whether or not you believe that defining Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation or not, that’s a dangerous precedent to set.

      “Dangerous” works too, but I prefer “fascist.” Authoritarian states are built on legal fictions like these.

      No they aren’t. Palestine Action is illegal. Because they’re terrorists. The rest are fine.
