@Muqadaam No, she was arrested for showing support for a proscribed terrorist organisation. There are lots of ways of standing up against what Israel is doing in Palestine that would not have led to her arrest. Which is precisely why she chose this.
She is out for her gain, not Palestine.
@ToryFibs The hunger strikers will not die because they aren't hunger striking.
The IRA terrorists of the 80s did a hunger strike and died because it was an actual hunger strike.
This is little more than performative fasting.
For the record, I despise the IRA and all terrorists.
@DefendourJuries They understood the risk of death alright.
That's why none of them are actually performing a hunger strike.
Intermittent fasting at best.
@SteB777@Alexarmstrong Sorry, it's just that I know you value education and I've been an English teacher so I thought you'd like an expert opinion on what message her sign sent.
How many other proscribed terrorist organisations do you support, by the way?
@HeidiBachram@zarahsultana This was never a hunger strike. They took turns to not eat. Like a cyclical fad diet.
To see a proper hunger strike, see the IRA in the 80s.
I hate them, but it was an actual hunger strike.
@SteB777@Alexarmstrong Actually there's no punctuation at all, so even if this was as black and white as you say, it would still be an easy mistake.
As it is, using the Eng Comp skill of "understanding implicit ideas", she is making a statement of support for a proscribed terror organisation.
@TheCanaryUK@GretaThunberg@Prisoners4Pal Genuinely without deliberately getting herself arrested by various parties, she wouldn't have a career of any sort.
Lots of people stand on principle. She stands on personal gain.
@daniellismore There are very well-read and logical people across the entire political spectrum. Likewise, there are plenty of idiots across the entire political spectrum.
@grazzar09@DefendourJuries Sorry, are you trying to claim the IRA aren't a terrorist organisation?
It must be a special type of nationalist brainwashing to be able to believe that π
Joker.
@A_Y_Rafindadi A Muslim called me a "retard" twice today in a run of tweets.
I'm mature enough to realise that this doesn't reflect on Islam as a whole, and just on this particular Muslim. But nevertheless, he did. Very hostile.
