I don’t understand why some random Irish author who has always been pro Palestine will mean a u turn by Starmer? Can you explain your rationale on this one?

There are plenty of Jews opposed to what Israel’s doing. Conflating Israel with Jewish people is anti-semitic in itself.

No point in arguing with him, he just throws a big strop

"Her four novels, which have been translated into more than 47 languages, have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, and she is regarded as one of the foremost millennial writers. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2022."

not exactly random, fella.

I don't think her opinion will do anything, but it's a story on the BBC News front page on a subject that's getting a lot of focus, because of stories like this.

I'm wondering how much more press, how many more arrests and how much more indirect promotion of PA it'll take before Starmer and co. roll back.

which isn't a mad question given that they've shown the backbone of a jellyfish and backtracked on a bunch of things already in a pretty short time.

There’s been mass protests all over Israel this weekend. Israeli Jews protesting about the invasion and the plans to permanently occupy Gaza. Demanding an end to the invasion and a negotiated return of hostages. Clearly all “anti semite Jew haters”

'Not in our name': Israelis protest against Gaza war - but Netanyahu seems unmoved

Tyres were set alight and roads blocked as Israelis took their anger with the Gaza conflict onto the streets for what was called a "day of stoppage".

Grendel said that the novelist had an anti-Israel stance, you responded by calling her a antisemite Jew hater. You implied her dislike of Israel meant a dislike of Jews, thus conflating the two and being antisemitic yourself.

Mr Putin was on the list in 2022 as well. Ed Sheeran and Snoop Dogg are in the latest list.

Huge crowds gather in Israel calling for hostage deal and end to Gaza war

Large crowds fill 'Hostages Square' in Tel Aviv to call for fighting to cease and the release of all remaining hostages by Hamas.

“Starmer and co” in this situation of course being the British security services. Or do you guys literally think Starmer asked for this?

I thought the Home Secretary was responsible for who goes on the proscribed list?

In the government yes but she’s doesn’t just wake up one morning and decide FFS, she takes advice from security services. Yvette Cooper isn’t out there doing humint deep cover. The idea it was just “haha we hate the left” is more childish conspiratorial nonsense.

Well it wasn’t just the British security services they took advice from, was it?

Either way, ultimately it’s in the Starmer government’s gift as to whether or not someone goes on the list, that doesn’t seem an unreasonable thing to say.

Are you saying Jews control the govt?

Reminder of this from last month ...

Funnily enough, no - I’m saying that politicians also lobbied the government hard to make this decision, including those from Israel.

Again - it would seem pretty reasonable to me to acknowledge that there were political aspects to this decision, and that it wasn’t a pure diktat from the security services. But instead you’re thwacking the anti-semitism card on the table so hard I’m surprised your wrist hasn’t fallen off. Have a fucking word with yourself.

That's......quite a stretch.

They did take that advice though

"Palestine Action was proscribed based on strong security advice – following serious attacks the group has committed involving violence, significant injuries and extensive criminal damage," he said, adding: "Whilst many people may not yet know the reality of the organisation – those assessments are very clear."

To be fair he just asks the question? And the answer is no
