    “Thunberg, 22, was earlier arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide”. The British government has proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group.”

    The group uses direct action to disrupt the UK arms industry, which it accuses of being complicit with Israel in conducting a genocide. Palestine Action have mounted 45 documented direct actions in the United Kingdom.

    “We are concerned at the unjustified labelling of a political protest movement as ‘terrorist’,” the experts said. “According to international standards, acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as terrorism.”

    The Government asserts that the group is “terrorist” because some members have allegedly caused criminal damage to property, including at military bases and arms companies, with the aim of progressing its political cause and influencing the Government."

      Man Thunberg has been chronically based since she hit the centre stage. No wonder Thiel thinks shes the antichrist.

        Theil thinks everything he doesn’t like is the antichrist. He thinks the Antichrist’s message is “peace and safety” and to enforce the stagnation of technological and scientific progress. International financial bodies restricting the ability to hide wealth are the Antichrist. Etc.

          Yes, hes an unhinged fuckmonster of a man. But he also does think Thunberg specifically is the antichrist incarnate.
