Is Britain going to let these young people die?

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

These young people are in prison for committing nonviolent direct action as part of Palestine Action. All have more than a year in maximum custody on remand. They are treated as terrorists for throwing some red pain and smashing windows. What they did was effective. Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems left the UK.

 

Are our politicians, eating turkey with family and friends at Christmas table, going to let them die???

These are your children! Do you want them to die? Are we the monsters who eat our own children? Can you imagine 49 days with no food?

 

Conscience is not blackmail...

 

Their demands are reasonable:

1) Shut down the weapons factories supplying weapons and parts to Israel.

2) Remove the ban on Palestine Action and its designation as a terrorist organisation.

3) End the mistreatment of prisoners in custody such as segregation confinement

4) Set immediate bail.

5) Provide a fair trial, including the unredacted release of the correspondence about activists    between British and Israeli officials and arms dealers.

Personally, if they were jailed for not having a TV licence and decided to go on hunger strike until they died, I have zero sympathy for them.  Their life, their choice, and BTW, they are NOT my children...

   If the UK gives into their demands , then you will have 20 000 UK prisoners all on hunger strike next week

I'm sure they're delightful kids with the heart in the right place. Whilst Palestine Action should not be illegal, smashing windows and throwing red paint is illegal for a reason.

 

We can't condone that, even if it is for a just and worthy cause, it's still hooliganism.

 

As much as it pains me to say, as one of the girls is quite easy on the eye, they really should not have engaged in this vandalism.

What a load of nonsense you talk. None of them will die but supporting a terrorist organization is illegal.

When the first one dies, perhaps the other's will understand that no-one cares if they live or die - time to start eating again....

this is probably the most stupid of several mistakes Starmer and his cabinet have made. His Achilles heel is his lack of flexibility. He's stubborn. Not a good trait in a PM. 

How he let this nonsense of branding legally this protest group as terrorists was very high handed and stupid. He is making martys of them and has lost vast swathes of the electorate support because of it.

Most people were irritated by them before but now that's gone right the other way.

Arresting Grannies and Grandpas, often in wheelchairs, blind people, respected community leaders has got the country riled up against him. Now this.

If any of these people actually die he's absolutely had it. I've always said Starmer would have been an effective foreign sec' or some other role but as a leader this stolid inability to handle mistakes and the arrogant top down lecturing approach is a major fault in him.

He is trying to run a country like it's the CPS.

Whole different ball game. Moreover he's lousy at communicating and severely lacks listening skills.

I have absolutely 0.00 sympathy for these thugs. Do the crime, serve the time. If they die, it is their choice.

I doubt it very much.In fact the government's non interference and strict application of the law with regard to these terrorists has undoubtedly shored Starmer's position up - not that this will save him.

    "Most of the group are being held on remand over alleged criminal damage, aggravated burglary and violent disorder at a factory for the Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit systems in Filton, near Bristol. "

   He will be seen as weak if he gives into the protestors and he will very likely have thousands of other hunger strikers all wanting things within a few weeks if he gives in .

   He cannot surrender to black mailers

UN doesn't agree with you. They are not 'terrorists'. Check the definition if you don't believe me. They are protesters and were mainly pissing off the general public. Because of this over reach the whole thing has snowballed 'against' the Gov' now. Most of the ones in Jail are not even members of PA.

Yes it's a mess. It was most unwise to begin with. Cooper wasn't it who created this issue? She proved herself to be an absolutely rubbish HS. I had more respect for her wit and intelligence before but she handled the brief very badly.

What does the UN have to do with the application of British law? Actually it doesn't much matter what they are called: their actions including violent attacks speak for themselves.They are however on remand and have not been found guilty of any charge yet.Yes, I tend to agree the overreach point but I don't think this has had the adverse consequences you suggest. The sensible approach would, having made their point, to abandon their hunger strike and continue their campaign peacefully.

The United Nations (UN) does not have a single, universally agreed-upon legal definition of terrorism. Instead, it uses several working definitions found in various resolutions and treaties to describe the act
