So you don’t count IRA bombings as terrorism because they often phoned in warnings to evacuate the area?

Proscription means it is an offence to belong to the organisation, invite or recklessly express support for them, arrange a meeting in their support, or wear clothing or carry articles which arouse reasonable suspicion that you are a member or supporter of the organisation.

So under the law, waving a Palestinian flag is fine. Waving a Palestine Action banner is illegal.

This amounts to a targeted action at the organisers and perpetrators of the incident, rather than wider supporters of Palestine.

Sure, as long as someone’s taught them about backups, and they have them, and they’re up to date.

That is misinformation. The planes were Voyagers which are air-to-air refuelling tankers not intelligence-gathering planes. And before someone makes up more bullshit, no the RAF has not been refuelling Israeli planes. The Israelis use the US system, which is incompatible with the RAF system.

He is not a member of the Cabinet.

For big entities sure. But SMEs without dedicated IT and relying on the likes of squarespace would have a really bad time.

Yup

I mean, it was actual sabotage. Those engines will need complete rebuilding.

The Iranian regime has essentially shut down the internet within the country, as recent events do not show their defence capabilities in a good light and they do not wish their citizens to share information. Meanwhile, Israel is thought to be engaging in a major cyber attack on Iranian internet infrastructure.

Yes. Different blast pattern, different fallout pattern, different isotopes, different seismic signature, different sound wave pattern…

We know they have none, otherwise the strike wouldn’t have been possible.

We don’t know how sophisticated Iranian devices might be.

Because nuclear detonations are very different to conventional ones, and every major power has satellites monitoring for them. They can’t be hidden. Hell, any university or weather service within 3,000 miles would be able to detect it.

I don’t see what’s anti-imperialist about Iran, who have been building fiefdoms throughout the region.

Europe and Canada would never ally with Iran.

Sure, in fantasyland

You’re missing a word there. US assessment is that Iran is not currently building nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapons programme has been frozen for many years. However it is still actively generating the materials required to assemble a weapon, and if the programme is reactivated it won’t take long to get to a working weapon.

1. They are bombing precisely because they haven’t got any weapons. If they had weapons, their nuclear weapons programme wouldn’t be attacked. This is how N Korea gets away with its shit. The attack is because they almost have nuclear weapons, and is intended to ensure the programme doesn’t bear fruit.
2. Nuclear weapons need a very precisely placed and timed set of shaped explosions within the device in order to ram the material together in such a way as to achieve fission. Nuclear weapons cannot be detonated by exterior explosions, fire, earthquake, hurricane or anything else other than its own detonation system.

Well, as sophisticated as it got in the 1940s
