Title Kinda out of context… From the letter “ I would encourage police to give similar consideration to the presence of symbols such as swastikas at anti-Israel demonstrations. Context is crucial. 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. Nor is it acceptable to drive through Jewish neighbourhoods, or single out Jewish members of the public, to aggressively chant or wave pro-Palestinian symbols at. Where harassment is identified, I would encourage the police to take swift and appropriate enforcement action.”

JFC they can support Israel without needing to go all fascist to do so. Opposing Hamas doesn't require silencing voices for Palestine

OP cut out the context, he went on to say it's not an offense if you have a flag license
