At least 300 people were arrested in London on Saturday under British terrorism laws during a protest of the government’s decision to ban a pro-Palestinian activist group.
The group, Palestine Action, was designated a terrorist organization in July after two of its members broke into a British military base and damaged planes to protest Britain’s military support for Israel. It was the first organization to be banned under a segment of Britain’s legal definition of terrorism that covers serious property damage, rather than violence against people, to advance a political cause.
The designation put Palestine Action on the same legal footing as groups like Al Qaeda, and it criminalizes membership or involvement with the group, as well as some public expressions of support.
Saturday’s arrests escalated the confrontation between the British authorities and supporters of Palestine Action over applying the terrorism law to protests, an otherwise protected form of expression in Britain.
As Big Ben struck 1 p.m., hundreds of protesters who had gathered outside Parliament took out pens and wrote “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action” on pieces of cardboard and paper, before sitting silently on the ground.
The police began arresting demonstrators one by one, asking them if they would cooperate before carrying them away if they refused to walk, as supporters applauded and shouted “shame on you” at officers. The arrests continued into the evening.
The law used criminalizes the wearing, display or publication of anything that “arouses reasonable suspicion” of support for a banned group.
The Metropolitan Police said that by 8 p.m., around 300 people had been arrested. In a statement, the force said the arrests were made for “expressing support for a proscribed organization” and for assaulting police amid efforts to “prevent officers carrying out their duties.”

muzzies are to stay out of the way when the whites shoot themselves
I wouldn’t be surprised if half the protesters are labor voting native brits.
Good question. I hope he was one of those arrested.
Was gonna say. They’ll come down hard on the native Britons before upsetting their honored guests with such treatment.
Sounds like the Brits are troubled with multiple personalities. One side pushing Muslims and the Call to Prayer and the other side demanded arrests.
Rodney Dangerfield:
I went to my shrink and he concluded that I’m schizoid. My one mind has two totally different people’s personalities in it.
He got through and gave me his big bill for services.
I told him “Here’s half. Get the rest from the other guy.”
The Reform Party is surging. And the natives are restless (as the old saying goes).
So I’m guessing this is just a show move. Starmer gets to pretend he’s doing something.
Honestly I’m shocked! Did they send some mean tweets too?!
How many years in prison are the arresting officers facing?
England is going to explode.
They know that what they see on BBC is a lie.
Starmer is going to have to ban X in England.
Then given ice-cream and told to go home ?
Took long enough.
I just hope it’s not too late.
I hope it’s for real, and I hope it’s not suppression of free speech wearing a new hat.
Not so rare. Jews are a protected minority in Britain, same as Muslims and Africans. Britain has long jailed people for anti-Semitic speech.
It's a bit more difficult when it's two minorities offending each other, in this case Jews vs. Muslims. But I suppose this shows that, in the hierarchy of minorities, Muslims top whites, but Jews top Muslims.
It’s a start...
22 Minutes
October 7 unfiltered
https://evebarlow.substack.com/p/22-minutes
It has taken until 700 days for Israel to get permissions from families and friends to freely distribute 22 minutes of the 47 minutes of footage that was initially shown to journalists in private screenings following the October 7 massacre. I was one of those journalists. I endured the entire 47 minute screening. I averted my eyes a few times, and just listened to sounds. For the most part, I kept my eyes open, no matter how horrifying, because I needed to bear witness to the atrocities to know that I understand October 7 and that I know why the IDF is in Gaza. I needed to see it all to strengthen my resolve in the face of a two-year-long media onslaught that has since taken place to frame Israel as the aggressor “genocidal” force, when in fact it was Gaza who intended to commit a genocide on that black Shabbat, 700 days ago.

We should expect a slap on the wrist and a walk out of the revolving door. Just like what happened to most of the Columbia University "protestors".
