Yes that’s my point. They were a terror group and then weren’t when the US decided. In the same way that Sudan was a state sponsor of terror until the US decided otherwise.
In both cases recognising the occupation of Palestine made them not terrorists.
Also if committing massacres made the PLO a terror group then surely Israel and it’s military wing should be a state sponsor of terror many times over since October 7th but instead it receives billions in funding and weapons from the US and UK

No, it’s when you commit terrorist acts that you become a terrorist group. Like the PLO did, repeatedly, over many many years, and bragged about.
Terrorists are by definition non-state actors.
And yes I’ve seen the Pallywood stuff coming out of Gaza just like everyone else has. It’s the same bullshit they pull every time they cross a line and find their shit getting pushed in by Israel like in Lebanon in 1982.

In 2023 total UK arms exports to Israel totalled £18.2 million. We do not provide them with foreign financial assistance.
So you were only off by a little bit.
In 2023 Israel received approx. £3.3 bn in foreign assistance from the USA, the large majority loaned to purchase US supplies of both defensive and offensive munitions. That same year, Egypt also received about £1.5 bn in foreign assistance from the USA, Jordan £1.7 bn, etc.

As I said it is a form of political repression.

Yes, that’s why it’s good
You’re a genocide denier. I’m done with you
Yes, in the same sense that I deny the existence of unicorns. I’m also a unicorn-denier.
