    “Inside the warehouse, they set about destroying as much property as they could,” prosecutor Deanna Heer KC told the court. “They used crowbars and hammers to damage computers, equipment, drones and other products Elbit had manufactured.”

      It’s fucking darkly hilarious they made that argument.

      What does Elbit systems make? And what is the purpose of their product?

    When people believe their cause is noble enough, they can justify almost anything.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
