    I don’t have a problem with any element of that law.

    I’m profoundly comfortable with people being arrested and imprisoned for substantial sentences for expressing support for Hamas and similar Jihadi terror groups.

      Only a handful of countries consider Hamas a terror group. Funnily enough these are the same countries that are complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

      This is a “leopards ate my face” law. It’s fine until you get caught up in it however unlikely that appears now.

        You say only a handful of countries and then you list a shit ton of countries. Made to look smaller by lumping all of the EU into one country.

        How many members are in the EU again?

        Only a handful of countries consider Hamas a terror group. Funnily enough these are the same countries that are complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

        Those are also more or less the only countries I’d trust to be able to correctly identify a terrorist group.

        This is a “leopards ate my face” law. It’s fine until you get caught up in it however unlikely that appears now.

        I simply don’t support terrorist organisations. It isn’t difficult.

          Hamas being designated a terrorist group arose because of US and Israeli pressure to de-legitimise any entity that represents Palestinians in the same way that the PLO was regarded as a terror group pre Oslo.

          It is political repression and nothing more.

          Many of these same countries branded Nelson Mandela and the ANC as a terror group.
