The Daily express is a tabloid with a more than troubled history, including multiple accusations of xenophobia and hate speech. That's not a credible source I would say.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

I agree. However i chose to post this article, because it was one of the first outlets reporting on it and they did embed the video.
Regarding the involvement of the UK in Intelligence flights for Israels attacks, but also for facilitating US arms deliveries i can highly recommend the investigative work of declassifieduk. The UK while providing less military aid than the US or Germany in the shape of arms deliveries, is extensively involved in Israels attacks through logistical and intelligence support.

I bet my left nut that russia is really happy about this...
Doing military sabotage in european countries will not help the palestinian cause. That will cause a totally justified crackdown as no government in the world can and will tolerate radical militants who are sabotaging it's own military in times of global crisis. I'm also not sure if such acts really are helpful at disproving the popular resentment that all palestinians are radical islamists, terrorists or in bed with hamas.
What is Britain going to do in response that could harm Palestinians more? Start bombing themselves instead of telling Israel where a lot of people are sitting together in a tent and delivering the bombs for Israel to drop?
Iโm also not sure if such acts really are helpful at disproving the popular resentment that all palestinians are radical islamists, terrorists or in bed with hamas.
If you glue yourself to the street in a climate protest, you are already labelled terrorist in countries like the UK and Germany. Meanwhile Germany is applauding Israels war of aggression against Iran and peddling lies about weapons of mass destructions like it is Iraq all over again, although this time around the IAEA and American intelligence agencies kept stating publicly that there is no evidence of such weapons in Iran.
So far the governments have been ignorant to legal protests. The governments instead often crack down with massive police violence and criminalization of freedom of speech against peaceful and fully legal protest. Just yesterday the Council of Europe has published a letter voicing its concerns over the massive repression in Germany. There is no indication that governments like the UK or Germany would stop their complicity without any pressure.
So the option people have are:
a) watch a genocide and only raise your voices in the small frame tolerated by the government, knowing that it will not lead to any change
b) interfere with the infrastructure used to facilitate genocide
Meanwhile Israel is using starvation and the promise of aid to lure starving people into places where Israel can massacre them more easily. But nonviolent actions are the real extremism here...
Doing military sabotage in european countries will not help the palestinian cause.
Yeah, because who ever heard of direct action against apartheid enablers achieving results where Liberals performatively frowning while upholding the status quo didn't? ๐
That will cause a totally justified crackdown
Evidently, you have a fucked up definition of "totally justified"
no government in the world can and will tolerate radical militants who are sabotaging it's own military in times of global crisis
But the citizens of the world is supposed to meekly tolerate their governments participating in a fascist apartheid regime committing the worst campaign of genocide the world has seen for decades?
Sounds like you have some very authoritarian priorities of what's right and tolerable.
I'm also not sure if such acts really are helpful at disproving the popular resentment that all palestinians are radical islamists, terrorists or in bed with hamas.
Big "the protesters should be confined to a corner where they can't inconvenience anyone" concern trolling energy.
Nobody who's arguing in good faith and reachable by logic would think that "all palestinians are radical islamists, terrorists or in bed with hamas."
Only bigots, brainwashed victims of disinformation campaigns, and combinations of both think ANYTHING like that, and modeling your resistance on their potential opinions is a way to guarantee that nothing changes for the better.
