    Did you ever bother to look into why Palestine Action was singled out? How one of their members assaulted someone with a hammer or something?

    You can support Palestine without supporting that group, lol.

        Would you say the same if one member of a group was a Nazi? No, you’d rightly assume they’re all nazis.

          Nice ASSumption. Actually, yeah, I’d say exactly the same. Human rights are human rights. Fortunately, it isn’t up to people like you to decide who gets them

            Guy who wants to not ban groups that assault people doesn’t want people to have the right to decide and vote on human rights. The irony.

                Oh, you’re an American. I don’t know why anyone bothers.

                We vote for them by voting for the parties propose legislative changes.

                See the Human Rights Act.

                Edit: And just for the record I 100% support Palestine. I don’t support Palestine Action.

                  Oh, you’re an American.

                  Say what you will about the US. It’s far from perfect. But their legal model for human rights is more robust than many of their peer countries. The fact that free speech is constitutionally protected there is good thing and the fact that free speech is dependent on majority support is a weakness of the UK system; that is, after all, how the UK got themselves into this current situation.

                  (I’m not American btw, and I’m by no means a big fan of the US. But still, you have to give credit where credit is due.)

                    They literally murdered their own citizens in broad daylight and it was filmed.

                    But yes, in theory they can say what they want. See how it’s often used to belittle minorities and gay people.

                    Brilliant system. Couldn’t fault it.

        I’m sorry is this an Internet message board or a thesis? Do you’re own research I’m not your fucking mother.
