      Exactly! Terrorism is instilling a fear into a population. What these people did in this case did not effect any body not working in security for a company selling weapons to a proven genocidal nation which will be used to kill children. I

      In fact, we will look back at this as just, just like the suffragettes, the LGBT+ communities, the racial communities and so many others.

      I, a British citizen, am terrified by the far right actions all over the country directly threatening people and their houses. This is happening on our streets, in our houses and is exactly what I would describe as terrorism.

      They actually called it a riot? Last I heard it was a bunch of ‘protesters’ that had set stuff on fire.

      I would hope their people won’t stand for this, but only time will tell.

      Is there any general story or reason why the UK is extremely pro Israel/zionist? I haven’t been able to connect any dots with their zeal.

          I wonder how much it cost Israel to get a foreign nation to try its own citizens for treason for peacefully protesting them, a foreign nation.

    Tried as demonstrators, sentenced as terrorists. Grounds for appeal all the way up to the ECHR, surely?

      They should. This is the definition of being part way down a slippery slope.

    If they are to be sentenced as terrorists then they should be set free as no terrorism happened

      If protest is the exact same as bombings then why bother with protests?

      Unless they are planning to start deeming damage to something…like property, as terrorism.

    So what you’re saying is that there is no difference between peaceful protesting and throwing bombs and, say, murdering politicians?

    Do you want real terrorism? Because this is how you feed real terrorism

      If the consequences for robbery are the same as for murder then robbers have no incentive to leave their victims alive. The people in charge are far too arrogant to understand that they’re setting themselves up for a bad end.
