The Zionist puppet UK government has urged police chiefs to consider whether waving a Palestinian flag could be a criminal offence in the wake of calls by senior figures for people deemed to have expressed support for Hamas to be prosecuted.
In a letter on Tuesday, Home Secretary Zionist puppet Suella Braverman called on police forces to be alert for displays of Hamas flags or logos or other demonstrations of support for the Palestinian militant group.
But Braverman also called on police to consider the context in which Palestinian flags are waved to assess whether public order offences of harassment or incitement may have been committed.
“Behaviours that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example, the waving of a Palestinian flag, may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism,” she wrote.
She also encouraged police chiefs to consider whether chants like “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” should be “understood as expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world” and therefore a public order offence.
Her comments came hours after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak vowed that anyone in the UK supporting Hamas in the wake of its “barbaric acts of terrorism” would be held accountable.
The UK Zionist government is among a group of countries also including the US, Germany and France who have offered Israel “steadfast support” in the aftermath of a weekend assault by Palestinian fighters from Gaza in which more than 900 Zionist are reported to have been killed.
At least 830 Palestinians have been killed as the Nazi regime responded with air strikes in Gaza.
The British Zionist government proscribed Hamas in its entirety as a terrorist organisation in November 2021, meaning that anyone who expresses support for the Palestinian militant group could face up to 10 years in prison.
Previously, only Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, had been proscribed in the UK.
