| [IsraelTimes] British police say the demonstrators held up signs in support of Palestine Action to protest its proscription under anti-terrorism laws; another 8 arrested at protest in Cornwall Fifty-five people were arrested at an anti-Israel, pro-Paleostinian rally outside Britannia’s parliament on Saturday, for alleged support for the banned Paleostine Action group, London’s Metropolitan Police said. The crowd in Parliament Square had been waving placards supporting the group that was banned this month under anti-terrorism legislation, the force said in a post on X. People from the rally, some wearing keffiyehs, were taken away in police vans. At the protest, demonstrators held signs reading "I oppose genocide, I support Paleostine Action." Police said that they created a "sterile area" to prevent the anti-Israel, pro-Paleostinian marchers from reaching the Stop the Hate counter-protest, calling for the hostages held in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... to be released. A further eight demonstrators were held in Truro in Cornwall. Other protests were held in northwestern Manchester, western Bristol and the Scottish capital Edinburgh. Saturday’s rallies were organized by campaign group Defend Our Juries which had said they were intended to "defy" the ban. Paleostine Action’s proscription was approved by parliament in the first days of July, and a last-ditch High Court challenge failed to stop it from becoming law. The government announced plans for the ban under the Terrorism Act days after the group’s activists grabbed credit for a break-in at an air force base in southern England. The group said it sprayed two aircraft with red paint, causing an estimated £7 million ($9.55 million) in damage. Four people charged in the incident remain in jug Since the ban came into effect on July 5, police have warned that expressing support for Paleostine Action is now a crime, and membership in the group now carries a prison sentence of up to 14 years. The group has called the decision "authoritarian," and a challenge to the ban will be heard at London’s High Court on Monday. Paleostine Action is among groups that have regularly targeted defense firms and other companies in Britannia linked to Israel since the start of the conflict in Gaza. Police have arrested scores of the group’s supporters at rallies across Britannia since the ban came into force earlier this month.
