If they make waving Palestinian flags in Jewish neighbourhoods a crime (and there is a case for it being a public order offence), they should also make waving Israeli flags in neighbourhoods with large Arab or Muslim populations an equivalent crime.
As with everything it comes down to intent and context.
If you accidently throw bacon on to your neighbour’s garden, it’s probably a mistake.
If you purposefully throw bacon on to your neighbour’s garden, it’s probably littering.
If you specifically throw bacon on their garden because they are jewish/muslim/vegetarian, etc, it’s probably a public order offence.
The people that run the friends of palestine stand in the centre of town handing out leaflets on a Saturday afternoon and encouraging boycotting products from illegal settlements aren’t doing anything wrong.
But someone who purposefully goes to a Jewish part of a town to wave a flag for the sole purpose of antagonising those who live there, it’s probably a public order offence.
In Australia, the people handing out leaflets calling for boycotts would have been committing a federal crime (at least a few years ago), as advocating boycotts of allied countries was outlawed under the expansion of sedition laws after 9/11. I’m guessing Cruella is taking notes.

Well put, leave it to braveshit to fuck it up
If you accidently throw bacon on to your neighbour’s garden
I find this incredibly hard to believe. Why would anyone throw away perfectly delicious bacon? No sorry. This is an illogic.
Maybe it’s moldy?
It sounds impossible, but these things happen:
That wasn’t accidental though. That was pretty blatantly racist.
Dont worry about it I was just making a joke about accidental bacon throwing.
How would someone accidentally throw bacon into their neighbor’s garden?
I lived in a house once that only had a little 1m high fence between the front gardens / drive of my house and next door.
The bins for each house were either side of that small fence, so basically next to each other. I’m sure if a bin bag had split when I was putting it in the bin the bag’s contents would have fallen on both sides of the fence.
Anyway, the point is simply that things can happen purely accidently and not break the law, which in another context - especially when done with purpose and intend - would break the law.
I get your meaning, it’s just a really odd/funny example.
Never let a populist opportunity go to waste. Torying rule book 101.

The tough guys waving Israeli flags aren’t necessarily Jewish; there’s a breed of troll for whom the Israeli flag is a convenient prop
They should make responding violently to flag waving a crime. Except for Nazi flags.

It could be enforced that way as it is. Whether it would be is a different question.
Someone buy me a ticket and two flags. Time to visit the motherland.
The party of free speech huh?
Let’s make farting in public a crime.
Braverman says all sorts of crap
No one voted for this bitch. Fuck her.
Presumably her constituents did?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A “significant number” of British-Israeli dual nationals have been caught up in the conflict in Israel and Gaza, the foreign secretary, James Cleverly, said earlier.
Sunak confirmed his support for Israel, saying he stood in solidarity with the state and its people “in the face of these barbaric acts of terrorism”.
Discussing his visit to a synagogue in north London on Monday night, Sunak said he had been “unequivocal with them that we will make sure that they feel safe at this time”.
The number of Britons caught up in the violence in Israel and Gaza has yet to be confirmed, with ministers wary that official estimates of casualties and those injured are still being compiled.
He continued: “I want to reassure them we’re doing everything we can, working very closely with the Israeli authorities to establish what is happening on the ground, provide support to people where it’s needed.
Fighting in the region is continuing, with the Israeli air force announcing on social media that it was planning to launch “an extensive attack against terror targets of the terrorist organisation Hamas in the Gaza Strip”.
The original article contains 516 words, the summary contains 186 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Bad bot, you missed the part that the headline is actually about!
It is, its directly supporting terrorism.
So ban Irish Tricolours, too?
I don’t think the intentions are the same… IRA symbols are probably banned however…

So edgy.
Supporting terrorist isn’t fun and hating on people that do that isn’t “edgy”
The implied idea that being pro-Palestine = supporting terrorism is, though.
Well thats how things are.
Go read a history book, kid.
About what? What’s standing there that is relevant here? Should i read about the holy Roman Empire? WW2? The Crusades? What’s your point?
About the history of Israel, which you’re obviously unaware of.
You must have misread, they are waving a Palestinian flag not an Israeli one
