The earlier journalist arrests that were made in the UK were for expressing support for Hamas's resistance against Israeli occupation and campaigns in Gaza. Is a similar standard of "inciting hatred and violence" applied to supporters of the IDF?

Keeping it technical only, I think the issue is that Hamas are a proscribed terrorist organisation here in the UK and the IDF is the official armed forces division of a sovereign state. Regardless of your political orientation, showing support for one has real consequences in the real world.

  Ah I see, so it's only "inciting" some forms of violence which is proscribed. The "consequences" you are attempting to portray as some kind of inevitable law of nature are in fact a matter of policy choice, nothing more.
