    Baalbek? That’s an important archaeological site, horrible to think of the destruction of the world’s history for this bullshit war, in a way that will match or exceed the Iraq war. US troops set up on the ruins of a temple complex in Baghdad and immediately started shoveling sand into bags to make fortifications. Truly a disgusting loss to our shared humanity.

    Israel would use their own drones. Why use the RAF? Seems more likely it’s the UK gathering intel on what Israel is doing.

      israel and the uk are the same side

      they wouldn’t be flying over gaza/lebanon without coordination with israel, so it’s obvious reconnaissance for israel/nato

        The UK has been criticising Israel for attacking Lebanon though.

        Like I said, if Israel wanted recon they can just use their own drones. Seems like people are jumping to the conclusion that we’re gathering intel for Israel rather than collecting our own Intel to get an idea of what’s going on.

          Critisizing israel but still sell wespons, share intel and impose no sanctions on the state of israel itself. That’s called hypocrisy

            They’ll arrest you for supporting Palestine Action which has been designated a terrorist group by the government. You wouldn’t be arrested for peacefully protesting and supporting the Palistinian cause.

              Why was it designated a terrorist group. Who have they killed and what crimes against civilians have they committed?

              I am being rhetorical of course and besides it has already been determined unlawful.

              It is clear they attempted to illegally suppress human rights in support of Isreal.

                I’m not arguing about the designation, that’s up to the government. However the people that been arrested for holding up the signs knew exactly what they where doing and had been warned before their arrests. They were protesting the proscription of Palistine Action rather than generally supporting Palistine.

                We will find out how it all plays out once the appeals process is completed.
