Can’t help feeling that, yet again, the government is really really screwing up by arresting for terror offences people carrying signs. The optics of five police all surrounding an old lady who has written a sign in sharpie is just fucking appalling. What on earth are they thinking? How does this help anyone? What is the stake I don’t understand?

Beats the heck out of me.
When you start arresting disabled people (including elders and blind people) for protesting against human rights abuses the they have left the path of logic or wisdom 🫤
🤦♂️
🆎@simonzerafa@infosec.exchange exactly it just looks very “wrong side of history”-ish

Very much so. Even if they have so far undisclosed evidence that PA are really a terrorist group they haven't proved it, certainly not to anyone's satisfaction.
Water soluble paint on an aircraft isn't terrorism, it's criminal damage at worst. It makes you wonder about the security of wherever that aircraft was stored.
There was some chatter that the US version of PA is a bit more militant and that a UK shareholder of a target in the US has used their clout with the UK Government for their own reasons. Smells like improper influence to me.
Arresting elders and the disabled protesting Israeli Government war crimes and human rights abuses is not a good look for any government.
