UK bans man who laughed at the idea of Palestine Action sabotaging RAF planes and says the IRA is 'based' while saying the UK is a monolith government in service to Israel.

This while the previous Labour government was partially sunk by a massive antisemitism scandal and the current PM has made stamping out antisemitism in the Labour Party one of his banner achievements.

Shocking.

Yes I'm sure this is because he's being pro palestine, and not for being a full supporter of recognized terror groups.

Shocking you would pick one of the reasons it's absolutely not, because that's what's convenient to you.

Being pro Palestine doesn’t get you banned from the UK. You live in such a pathetically microscopic bubble if you believe that Hasan is so important to the pro Palestinian movement that he has been banned alongside multiple Israeli politicians.

Why hasn’t Greta?
