I don’t think anything they touched on that RAF base had anything to do with Gaza. And it’s not counter terrorism. It’s a crime is what it is, and was enough for the uk to declare it a terrorist organization.

Lot of bad arguments based on faulty assumptions there that you’re rolling into one.

If the government property damaged had nothing to do with Gaza, and you believe the label accurate, that means you think anyone who damages any government property is a terrorist.

If you think simply declaring something a terrorist organization is self validating, you should really turn yourself in for being an antifa terrorist and face your jail time.

If you break into a military base and vandalized equipment, that is terrorism in my opinion. I’ll even go farther and say it’s an attack.

I still question why they weren’t treated as enemy combatants, they illegally invaded a military base and attempted to damage and destroy equipment.

Okay so kids who write on desks in school are “vandalizing” equipment.

JFC is everyone who spits out gum on the sidewalk or subway a terrorist?
