Ministers are to give police new powers to target repeated protests, aimed particularly at cracking down on demonstrations connected to Gaza, the Home Office has said.

The announcement, made the morning after almost 500 people were arrested in London for expressing support for Palestine Action, a proscribed organisation, could allow police to order regular protests to take place at a different site.

You don’t like, then maybe you should lawfully protest.

It just says failed to load media for me, is that on purpose or is my client failing me?

Works fine for me on this occasion but I do have that same issue frequently in Voyager. If I open the post in my browser and then come back it often loads correctly.

I thought it was on purpose as well. Apt, even if accidental.

Because jewish nazis need all the support we can give them. Well done UK!

As someone who is part Jewish please don’t portray these Zionistic Nazis as Jews. We are not the same.

Soggy@lemmy.world on 06 Oct 02:58 next collapse

Well, they’re from Israel and of Jewish heritage and presumably practice the religion so there’s nothing else to call them. Can’t “true Scotsman” the government of Israel out of their identity.

ewo@piefed.ca on 06 Oct 03:08 next collapse

While I agree they do not represent Jews worldwide and give us all a bad name. They are genocidal and deserve to be called out for as such. Maybe Zionists?

“Israeli Zionists”

Like “German Nazis”. Not “Christian Nazis” or “European Nazis”.

Maybe you need to be the ones getting locked up in opposition then, because the silence has been deafening.

Sorry, you personally might not be in support of genocide if it benefits Israel, but that is how it looks.

ewo@piefed.ca on 07 Oct 13:37 collapse

I am not in support, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s genocide aye? I’ve been to Israel a couple times all over the country, have family in Jerusalem, but to support what is going on is complete lunacy.

Look at the US: a lot of Zionists aren’t Jews but instead they’re Christians.

The Zionists claim they represent the Jewish People (same as the NAZIs claimed they represented the Arian Race) but in reality they just represent themselves and other hateful individuals for whom the “lesser races” need to be taught their place.

Latching onto an “identity” is a pretty standard Fascist technique, though generally it’s a nationality rather than an ethnicity (and, curiously, the Fascists who latch onto an ethnicity - such as NAZIs and Zionists - are significantly more murderous than the ones who latch onto a nationality - such as the Italian or Spanish Fascists).

One of the hopes for a Labour government was that they would roll back the restrictions on our right to protest…

ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com on 05 Oct 14:32 next collapse

And they were accusing protestors of taking police resources away from protecting synagogues after the Manchester terror attack. While they’ve been arresting old and disabled people for holding fucking signs.

This Labour government continues to hit new lows, they have honestly become worse than the Tories where civil liberties are concerned. They will do anything to protect Israel. They don’t work for the British people, they work for Tel Aviv.

Well, the actual individuals in Government in the UK right now were literally given their position by Israel when Israel-linked Jewish Organisations in the UK spearheaded a campaign of slandering Corbyn and the Labour Party under his leadership as “anti-semitic”, directly leading to his resignation and replacement with these people.

In the First Past The Post anti-Democratic voting system in Britain, leadership of the Labour Party means an almost certainty of getting into Government in the next 8 years, hence how Israel put them in power in the UK by giving them the Labour leadership.

Israel bought them and (pretty much the only positive thing about these people) they stayed bought.

Zionists are extremely effective at controlling information.

They can’t tolerate people sharing the truth.

Why are the US and UK governments so against anti -Israel priests? It seems like more than generic “down with democracy and liberals,” or fascist ruler buddies looking out for each other, or the IDF training police. Is there a direct line of profit and/or power from Israel to the US and UK?

  1. Until recently any word against Israel was met with the antisemitism hammer. I don’t think they realise how outdated that view is.
  2. Their hands are deep in the cookie jar. They’ve been supplying arms for 50+ years. "You weren’t meant to kill people with them!"
  3. Trump in particular doesn’t really care. All he sees is an opportunity to make money rebuilding Gaza.
  4. U.K. leadership has a real problem standing in opposition to Trump. They’ll insult him in private, but whisper sweet nothings into his ear when in person. They think they’re being clever. They’re not.

I think the Met needs to ask themselves if they are police or government goons. Police can choose what they feel they need to enforce if they are concerned about escalating a situation.

Interesting note: I saw the chair of the Met Police Federation was saying that officers are sick of the position they have been put in and is calling for politicians and senior officers to sort it out.

Today the home office says “go harder!”.
