The judges acknowledged that the proscription of Palestine Action was controversial, adding: “We recognise too that Palestine Action is supported by many otherwise law-abiding citizens, and that it is engaged in peaceful as well as non-peaceful protest. It is, nonetheless, a fundamental mistake to overlook the fact that Palestine Action overtly promotes unlawful violence amounting to terrorism.
“It is not, as it claims, a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes operating transparently in the open. It is a covert organisation that operates using secret cells to avoid the detection and prosecution of those using violence to destroy the property of third parties. Palestine Action’s activities have caused injury as well as property damage.”
You know it was always fucked that it’s a systemic problem, you only need to to look at a lot of the rulings during the troubles for that.
But most English people barely even know the North of Ireland exists, nevermind the atrocities the English have committed here.
