There are hundreds of elderly people in prison right now in the UK charged with supporting terrorism because they opposed a racism inspired nazi-style genocide. Greta was among them.

- pjc50 9mo agoYeah, the proscription of support for Palestine Action was extremely indefensible. Different goalpost to your original post, though.
- 1718627440 9mo agoWhy does that always need to be told like it's an either or thing? Why can't the stance that the Hamas are a terrorist organization, that is ultimately also screwing the local population and that Israel is committing war crimes, be accepted by "internet posters". I would say that is the position, that a lot of governments and people have.
- pydry 9mo agoNot one of those people expressed sympathy for Hamas. They were imprisoned exclusively for protesting racism inspired genocide that mirrors the holocaust. They supported a group that spray painted some planes. That was the extent of the "terrorism". Most of the people who think they deserve to be in prison are racists.
- 1718627440 9mo agoIn my opinion, that's kind of the other side of the coin. For one side, anything that criticizes Hamas is a Genocide sympathizer. For the other side any criticism on Israel is terrorism. Both sides are extreme and problematic.
- pydry 9mo agoSome people did (and still do) say "sure, hitler was bad but something had to be done about the jews" thinking that this is somehow a moderate position. Im more of the opinion that you are either anti genocide or you are a racist/racist sympathizer. There isnt a moderate middle ground.
