Given that the British government refuses to stop assisting war crimes, destroying the tools of the war crimes seems like the logical next step. These aren't just Israel's war crimes; they're also Britain's war crimes.
Edit: To clarify, the UK flies these planes over Gaza and gives the intel to Israel, which they use for targeting. The RAF is actively helping Israel murder Gazans.
Edit2: The way this is phrased implies the planes that were sabotaged were intelligence gathering planes used in Gaza. That's not what I intended and is false; these were refueling planes, and the planes used for intelligence gathering for Israel are being flown from Cyprus, not the home isles. I still believe the property of war criminals is fair game.
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.
I didn't mean these planes as in literally the planes that were targeted (the planes used for this particular war crime are in Cyprus) but rather as in their planes in general. Really bad phrasing on my part so apologies for that. Expecting people to look for the exact model being used to commit war crimes is unreasonable, though. If they didn't want their shit destroyed, they shouldn't have committed war crimes.
so what, we've been doing spy plane targeting for them and meeting IDF generals to discuss how we're going to best stamp down on Palestine activism, any damage helps.
Why the fuck are you lying mate. They aren't intelligence gathering planes, what conspiracy theorist crap are you spouting?
They are refueling planes, which btw can't be used with Israeli jets as they use completely different refuelling systems.
How lying conspiracy theorist bullshit like this gets upvoted is beyond my comprehension.
See my reply to the other guy.
At least you've owned up to being a liar.
But wanting to put the UK at risk is a big yikes. Guess you'd be ecstatic if people died.
The amount of tankies here is vile.
People are already dying, we're helping the people killing them.
Go wring your hands against imaginary enemies elsewhere.
