Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly "Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me."
This is exactly what I mean. Putting up Palestine stuff is just fine, perfectly legal, and you cannot be arrested for it.
If she really wants to be daring she should put up Palestine Action stuff in her windows.
PA probably aren't terrorists, just protesters who took it a bit too far, but the facts are: they broke into an airbase and damaged RAF jets by pouring paint into their engines. This will take those jets out of commission until the damage has been assessed; maybe the paint will just wash or burn off, but maybe they'll need to be replaced, which is a cost that could run into millions because jet engines aren't exactly cheap. So a case could be made that they are also terrorists, but it's a bit of a stretch.
"rooting out opposition to the genocide" No, we're not doing that. There's plenty of opposition and it's fine; we live in a democracy and people are free to support whoever they want to support (in this case: as long as it's the Palestinians in general, not Hamas).
Notably, it doesn't say what you claim it says. You need to learn to read English.
You can. People have already been arrested for protesting against the genocide. With this law being the justification.
They didn't take it too far. If you think that opposing a genocide is 'taking it too far', then you have no basis for objecting to being called a nazi.
Yeah, and? If you think that sabotaging a nazi state's warplanes is bad, then it's pretty obvious where you stand.
Good.
You are yet to bring up any reason to believe that PA did something bad.
Good. The more the nazi states are hindered, the better.
In that case, every non-official group that opposed such things as the Holocaust and the Lebensraum, Manifest Destiny, NATO's invasions of Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, etc., the European colonial rule over most of the world, and the like are all 'terrorists'. The only people who aren't are members of official militaries and the people who support those things, it seems.
That is exactly what you have been doing.
Let me guess, all of this opposition that you think is 'fine' is of the completely ignorable sort?
Says the person who lives under a literal monarchy with plenty of hereditary ruling positions, and where the vast majority of people have no say in what the state does.
Also, if you think that you live in a democracy, that means that you should bear responsibility for what your state does, as that would mean that you have a say in what your state does. That indicates that your state perpetrating a high-profile genocide is approved by you.
Ah yes, as long as they don't support any resistance to the genocide.
Also, people like you who can't even form a coherent thought for why supporting Hamas (and other groups that are resisting the genocide) is supposed to be bad, but want to keep repeating that cliche are quite silly.
Oh, OK. Please explain to me what it really says.
Isn't it funny how people like you - for whom the English language is supposedly their first one - can't read even singular sentences?
I can tell you that that comment does not say that this law makes it explicitly illegal to do that. Not that it would have mattered, as people are being arrested for opposition to the genocide in question - including when they are just protesting the way you claim to be perfectly fine and legal, - i.e. even the central point that you tried to make is wrong.
