I'm suggesting that the organisation is not the one that existed 100 years ago, even by a very large stretch of the imagination. The title is emotive largely because of the reputation of the organisation.
If the headline was "police raid house to arrest criminal activists", it wouldn't have made a blip.
- megous 2y agoIt's just indicative of a wider trend in some western countries to punish and threaten people protesting their complicity in genocide. Same thing or perhaps worse is happening in Germany, US, etc. One can just as well ask why would a democratic country arrest and threaten young people for protesting actions of a foreign country, when such actions include things like mass killings of children, or targeted attacks on healthcare and rescue workers, where said country sometimes just murders 15 of them while on a rescue mission (destroying 5 ambulances and a fire engine, basically killing all of the teams), like recently. It's a worthy question that such an article can elicit regardless of who's being arrested for activism.
