To be clear, you want people to be thrown out of university for non violent protest?

I thought going to university was about education

You think students have to study 24/7/365?

I thought you were a free speech champion. They aren’t being violent or expressing support for a proscribed group.

There is no case for expelling them.

No doubt they support Palestine action

No doubt they support Palestine action

Based on what evidence?

It’s obvious, doesn’t take a genius to work it out

 

[PVA]

Students protesting? Unheard of, don't think it will catch on.

Remember this is the man who has only just noticed Glastonbury is political

No doubt they support Palestine action

They have expressed it nowhere

 

[RegTheDonk]

Bad news for Labour if this is feelings of most students.

So Starmer says the UK will recognise Palestinian statehood, but only if Israel doesn’t meet its demands on Gaza. So is it a state or not?

It’s the tea towels isn’t it?

Nothing gets past you.

Can he do anything without making himself look weak? He has a great knack for picking the worst possible option that will please nobody at all times.

Must have been following the Brum Uni girls on tik-tok

 

[mmttww]

he's literally put that decision in the hands of the government which is starving that (non) state to death. Insanity, or maybe it's 'grown up politics'?

Still think people should be thrown out of university for a peaceful protest?

I went to probably the most left-wing university in the country and there were calls for students to be banned for drinking coke on campus after it was banned.

I get it, he's been excited by the Trump regime trying to deport people for protesting against Israel on US campuses

He’s just a c**t, giving his buddy Netanyahu an easy way out.

Netanyahu doesn’t exactly sound thrilled



As someone else said, it’s cowardly politics that stands for nothing and pleases no-one.

Israeli public figures call for ‘crippling sanctions’ on Israel over Gaza starvation

Generally I would say that if he's drawing criticism from Netanyahu, he's doing the right thing. Though because ultimately the US is the dog that wags the tail, unless he's going to use his arse-licking powers to persuade Trump to also recognise Palestine, it's not exactly the grown up politics some would like it to be.

Saw the footage of this on the news earlier in the week but they didn’t say who it was. The Israeli settler was just shooting at anyone who happened to be around.

Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist and journalist who helped make the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, has been killed during an attack by Israeli settlers in the south Hebron hills.

The attack on Monday was captured on video, which appears to show an Israeli settler, Yinon Levi, who was put under sanctions by the Us president, Joe Biden, then removed from the sanctions list by Donald Trump, firing his gun wildly at the time of the killing.

Personally, I'd class it as a good start, though massively overdue.

What really needs to happen, imho, are very substantial economic and cultural sanctions on Israel, to the point where we neither buy nor sell to them, and we also break all artistic, academic, and sporting links.

This isn't anti-Semitism, this is about drawing attention to the fact that the Israeli state continues to act in an utterly revolting and deplorable way, and until it changes, cannot be supported in any way by this country.

 

[chiefdave]

Palestine Action has won permission to challenge its controversial ban by the UK government under terrorism legislation.

In a major decision, the High Court ruled that the proscription of the group, that has carried out break-ins at defence firms linked to Israel as part of direct action protests, should be reviewed.

Palestine Action can challenge UK ban, court rules

The group's co-founder wins a bid to bring a legal challenge after the government banned it as a terror organisation.

That’s fair.
