Only a handful of countries consider Hamas a terror group. Funnily enough these are the same countries that are complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

This is a "leopards ate my face" law. It's fine until you get caught up in it however unlikely that appears now.

He says he was arrested under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 which makes it illegal to stay anything even remotely non critical about a "proscribed organisation" like Hamas. It is extraordinarily repressive.

To clarify this is part of what section 12 says:

Proscription makes it a criminal offence to: express an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation, reckless as to whether a person to whom the expression is directed will be encouraged to support a proscribed organisation.

A high ranking civil servant and subject matters expert on war crimes resigned recently over the governments complicity in war crimes. They know what they're doing is illegal. They just don't give a shit.

Silly lawyers. Don't they know that Israel is above the law?

Biden has been consistently pro Israel for decades. I don't think it's political opportunism. If it was he would have read the room months ago and told Netanyahu to wrap up the genocide.

Iran was screwed over by the US and UK. The theocracy is the result.

It has nothing to do with religion. Read up on Project Ajax. The modern theocracy of Iran is a direct consequence of British and CIA undermining the democratic government of Iran and installing a puppet dictator.

The only state you listed committing genocide is Israel which has caused nothing but instability in the Middle East since its founding, including the problems in Lebanon which, if you knew your history, was catalysed by Palestinian refugees fleeing the Nakba and Black September as well as the 1982 Israel invasion, the massacres at Sabra and Shatila and subsequent occupation of the South.

Since when is China our enemy? Your right wing stereotypes lack nuance.
