A group named online as Palestinian Martyrs appear to have broken into the Moog Aircraft Group factory in Pendeford, Wolverhampton at 3:50am on Tuesday.
Dramatic footage shows a black four-wheel drive car smashing through two white barriers, before the activists set off red flares and climb a ladder onto the roof of a building.
The manufacturer was targeted because it builds parts for the F-35 fighter jets which the UK sells to Israel via a global pool, the group claimed. F-35 fighter jets have been used in Israel’s destructive bombing campaign in Gaza for nearly two years.

using f35s to drop bombs on schools and hospitals is ok tho...

F35 vs hospital is a fair battle. Nothing compared to the russian abusive aggression of endless troops vs Ukraine.

when soldiers hide, fight and store weapons there yes
but i guess you're fighting a total war where anything associated with something you don't like is a valid target for destruction
when are you going to bomb a government building?

There's a saying: two war crimes don't make a right.

particularly when one of them is not a war crime
when soldiers victimize their own people by using them as shields they make them a valid target
in this case tho i think the appropriate word is martyr

I get that they want to do something.... But this is just dumb as fuck. It will only embolden Yvette Cooper into proscribing more Palestinian active groups as terrorists.

Instead they should complain on Lemmy about people actually opposing genocide.
As long as they hurt goods and not people there is no problem.

That's not how deceptive authoritarian governments work 🤣

It is how public sentiment works, as long as they do not kill anyone or hurt anyone, it is much more difficult to demonize them.

Actually this makes simple people who only follow mainstream media to find out how committed the west is in arming genocide.

"simple people"... Jesus Christ the arrogance 😅😂.

Well how would you call them? Regular folks, ordinary humans, majority of the masses..? You tell me. Not necessarily a bad trait, although mentally lazy in my opinion.

There was a "the Onion" headline for this kind of criticism: https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/
