BRITISH POLICE BAN ON CALLING HAMAS TERRORISTS IS OVERTURNED

An Iranian dissident in the UK is now allowed to attend pro-Hamas rallies and tell the truth about these racist nihilists.

The truth will win if it is told.

The judiciary prevailed over the police.

In a free society, police have no business telling people what they can say or express.

Interesting that I don’t recall British police stopping any people from carrying signs saying IRA was terrorist when they were blowing up places in London. I don’t recall any such ban when ISIS agents exploded a bomb in the underground.

Another interesting fact: the British police have placed no limits on what messages anti-Israel, antisemites, and pro-Hamas people (I repeat myself) can carry on signs or otherwise. They scream the most vile and false antisemitic statements imaginable, but call Hamas a terrorist, and the cops step in.

I guess it’s a question of whose ox is being gored.

I’m glad justice was finally done and this fellow is allowed to speak a simple and incontrovertible truth, even if that truth makes some people uncomfortable.

I’m also quite pleased that Mr. Cameron has made clear that the UK will continue providing arms to Israel as it fights the nihilistic and racist terrorist group whose feelings some loopy British police officials wanted to protect.
