You can say stuff in support of Palestine just fine.
You can't be in support of abspecific group called Palestine Action because they've been designated a terrorist organisation. Whether that group warrants being defined as a terrorist group based on what they've done so far (obviously there could be intelligence that the public aren't privy to) is dubious.
Palestine Action’s biggest crime is that they were effective. Their actions forced the closure of two Israeli weapons factories and forced Barclay’s Bank to divest from the manufacturer (Elbit Systems). Direct action (sabotaging the means of production that support the genocide) fucking works.
Seems like the key is to literally just omit the word "action", and any symbols or logos that the group may use.
Fucking rules-lawyer their asses.
Or just support a different group that is calling for freedom for Palestine but hasn't broken into a military air base and vandalised some planes.
A lot of the people that have been arrested aren't protesting in for Palestine alone, they're protesting that that specific organisation shouldn't be considered terrorism and the overreach of the law that has been used. Their whole intention was to be arrested. That was the protest.
Um, people are doing just that and are not getting arrested.
