    Still not happened to me yet, and that is in the UK which has the far more authoritarian Policing Bill looming over us. That doesn’t make as interesting a soundbite though.

      Your individual experiences don’t negate all the things I mentioned, they are on video.
      And whatever bill you’re under doesn’t matter to other countries, they always find a reason or ‘special circumstances’ to break their own laws and act like hired goons for the zionist apartheid state.

        Yeah, Israel is shit, but unless you have a video for each of these protests being shut down in this way, that just isn’t the norm. Plenty of pro-Palestine protests and meetings here; outside Barclays, protesting specific businesses, sharing information in our most popular streets for tourism and shopping, musical protests at art galleries. Plenty going on, never even seen a police presence at these.

        Not to say it isn’t happening, but trying to paint Europe as some pro-Zionist totality is weird.

            Not sure how talking about local and country-wide support for Palestine, and against the zionist genocide enacted by Israel, makes me supportive of Israel but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

              You are whitewashing the EU and UK complicit regimes that do everything to stifle protest.
              Nothing is more obvious and blatant.
              There is no conceivable reason to do that unless you have an agenda.
              You can play dumb, that’s another typical hasbara tactic.
