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.

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?

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'?

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

Netanyahu doesn’t exactly sound thrilled


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

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.

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.

Nobody mentioned it? You posted it on here an hour after it appeared on twitter. How fast does it need to be posted on here for you to deem it an acceptable timeframe?

You wouldn't expect a starving population to share their quota than equally would you?

"this is what real starvation looks like"

Nothing problematic about that at all.

Isn’t everyone starving in Gaza? Did they think they’d keep the hostages well fed ahead of everyone else?
