Supporters of UK government argue that national cohesion and security require policing protest within the law, not allowing activism to override the country's interests.
Supporters of UK government argue that national cohesion depends on shared civic identity over imported political allegiances, and maintain that protest movements framing Britain as complicit risk eroding that unity.

Supporters of the UK government counter that moral judgment is not outsourced but delegated: citizens elect representatives who weigh contested claims, and conscience-led unilateral action risks the chaos of every faction enforcing its own verdict.
Supporters of UK government argue that backing Palestine risks undermining religious cohesion at home, since they view the state's duty as preserving inherited civic order and protecting faith communities from imported sectarian conflict.
Supporters of the UK government argue that backing Palestine’s cause can entangle Britain in religious and sectarian conflicts abroad that threaten its own social cohesion and inherited civic order at home.
Supporters of UK government counter that religious duty cannot override the state's sovereign authority to weigh such matters, since scripture also commands obedience to lawful rulers and warns against zeal that fractures the peace.
