Yes. The Palestine Action bit is in the government complaint not the article. My point was the article glosses over or doesn't mention the actual reasons the government cites. ( https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616 discussed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451343 )
Why should it cite them? They're just excuses.

If you want to understand a situation it sometimes makes sense to state the facts?
Maybe. But I don't think so. It literally doesn't matter what reasons the government said, and the reasons the government said have no relation to facts or reality. What does matter is that the government doesn't like this group and put them on a certain list.

Lmao the Italian blogging platform has nothing to do with Palestine Action, did you even read the article? Or do you even pay attention? "Far left" has been illegal in the past and trump clearly wants it so again

Right? It's really concerning how much traction "ZOG" seems to be getting. It's literally true that most of the US government is Zionist. But "Zionist-Occupied Government" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory used by white supremacists with specific and incorrect beliefs about how Zionism works in the US and how it formed into what we're all facing today. At least flat-earthers get a useful locally-true approximation…
Is "ZOG" not a locally-true approximation of the shape of the USG?
... but balling that all up into "ZOG" just gives one a simplistic rabbit hole where "everything clicks" (ie it proves too much), and mostly written off by anyone else. And if it were to start being widely accepted, it will just fuel a reactionary dumpster fire like every broad-brush populist message inevitably does.
