Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

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.
Yeah I am not sure that is accurate to say people were only protesting the act of it being banned. I am sure the majority also supports ending the genocide that the UK refuses to designate as such.
When you can excuse human rights abuses it is all pretty much moot anyways.
I didn't say that they were only protesting the ban. That is what they were arrested for through.
Oh, I thought you were implying that. Sorry for misinterpreting it.
