I'm going to read a copy of Normal People aloud to a police officer to test this

Yes, but though the proscription is ludicrous, preventing people from a group of individuals who have organised to commit crimes - an organised criminal group if you will - is not

There are plenty of non proscribed pro Palestine groups to support, has anyone asked any of these protesters why they don't support them?

Er. They can't be that "good" if they support bad people, can they? Are they ridiculous twits? Definitely.

Agree. It’s calling those crimes terrorism that people are objecting to.

'“The people behind Palestine Action might not be good people,” one senior lawyer said.' Sly nudge-nudge, wink-wink. I wonder who he means by those "people behind Palestine Action"? Must be those folks who believe genocide is a war crime. 🤔

Well meaning people maybe but they are falling into a trap of supporting a bad group who do bad things because their name has Palestine in it! Don’t get arrested holding a sign you know will get you arrested maybe send those legal fees to a UN charity or medical group actually helping

Terrorist supporters in the UK facing prosecution are overwhelmingly middle aged white women however as Sally Rooney points out you can fly the flag of the UVF another proscribed organisation with impunity

The government seems keen to push the circles of "not good people" and "terrorists" into a complete overlap which, among other things, diminishes the seriousness of terrorism. As I can't get Rooney's books on Kindle, due to publisher concerns over prosecution or liability, what is this called?

Obviously FT is in the Israel side, no matter how deshuman and criminal are its regime and people. Support Palestine is to be on the right side of history. True terrorists are IDF soldiers and settlers - a.k.a. Israel people and authorities who kill unarmed civilizans. Shame on you!
