In the USA, sitting peacefully while calling for an end to killing Palestinians is terrorism, but attacking these peaceful protestors violently for several hours because you want Palestinians killed and their sympathizers intimidated into silence is not.
The UK is not being even-handed about this either. There was a “Labour is antisemitic” scandal manufactured by the right-wing press during Corbyn’s time as leader, he didn’t handle it decisively (and Labour centrists did all they could to make him look complicit), and now Starmer is shit-scared of similar accusations. That has played out as suppression of any pro-Palestinian protest.
