Also worth pointing out they don't have to actually carry out any of the specific terrorist activities to be classed as a terrorist activity.
Just threatening one of them is still an offence. Maybe that's where they're being done.
You can extend this to some of the freedom of expression legislation that has seen authorities go too far.This was always the concern when the terror laws were changing. I can remember people protesting it and being told they were clueless, there was no way these powers would be used to ban protests and the like, it would only be used for genuine terrorist threats.
I've not seen anyone say they have an issue with these particular protesters having the book thrown at them, the issue people have is an entire group being labelled a terrorist organisation.

And we've had that for decades and managed to cope without declaring everyone involved and anyone who says anything to suggest they might support the action a terrorist.They’re a direct action group, hence the name. Same as XR or JSO. That seems to be the difference. It’s not protests it’s targeted criminal damage.

There's nothing stopping members moving to other groups with the same stated end goals but don't advocate direct action/breaking the law. Their right to protest isn't being removed - just the methodsAnd we've had that for decades and managed to cope without declaring everyone involved and anyone who says anything to suggest they might support the action a terrorist.
Are people only thinking they are goodies because it says Palestine in the name? Same as when somebody says George Floyd they got a free pass for some
No I think it's a comment about Humans, but anything goes on this farm it appears, just a bit of genetic engineering!Are people only thinking they are goodies because it says Palestine in the name? Same as when somebody says George Floyd they got a free pass for some

Protest is not supposed to be convenient, it is supposed to be peaceful. With that in mind, I wonder what if any form of protest against Israel’s war crimes is acceptable to those on hereWho's saying they should get a free pass?
As to whether what they're doing is justified, that's a different argument.
At the moment Israel is directly engaged in what many would consider a genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.
If for some reason you're uncomfortable with that word, genocide, let's frame it as indiscriminately killing, men, women, and children, in very large numbers, of a particular ethnicity, in a specific area. That's undisputed.
To do this, in part, they are using weapons built with the help of companies based in the U.K., and with at least some support, (Palestinian Action claim) of the U.K. military.
From memory, you're pretty strong on what should happen to the 'evil fuckers' who abuse children in this country. What's your opinion on the 'evil fuckers' who are killing children elsewhere in the world?
Free pass from you because it's not your problem? Free pass from you because there's nothing you can do?
If legitimate protest, international law, and public opinion is being ignored by the government, then maybe the only thing left for people who believe that killing and maiming of children is wrong, is civil disobedience.
Have a watch of this, and tell me whether you think the people behind it are "evil fuckers", and whether trying to stop it, is terrorism?

You have just proved my point.
No. NYC is a special case. Plus his opponent wasn't popular with many for lots of reasons. It's still part a state where progressives have done well. What happens in New York rarely reflects onto the National scene.Muslim Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic Mayoral primary in New York City, after unequivocally calling Israel’s mass slaughter in Gaza a genocide

If not terrorism it is sabotage of a piece of military equipment which should have a severe punishment imoNo it’s a massive issue and has to be severely punished - I would define it as a terrorist act yes and looking at the news a lot of this group seem worried and hopefully will they will start to grow up and behave
