Human Rights Watch recently released a report warning Israel that they have crossed the line regarding separate laws for Palestinians living in Israel and occupied Palestinian territories. Whilst I cannot sympathise with Hamas, terrorism is an inevitable action when people have no recourse to fair law.
Are people today too susceptible to group pressure?

What did Human Rights Watch say about Hamas/Palestine?
Are non-muslims welcome there?

How does that work? I thought Gaza and the West Bank were Palestinian governed but that Israel unilaterally maintained the border and flight controls. Israel doesn't administer the justice system in Gaza or the West Bank does it?
Do you have a source that is not heavily biased against jewish people and answers the questions?
Most of my life I have been very sympathetic to Jewish people and the State of Israel, but the policies by their government need to be examined. The government Israel should not be above criticism. I grew up in South Africa and witnessed first hand the implications of creating second class citizens.

Separate laws for Muslims already exist, or tell me why exactly we have Sharia courts in Britain?
There are not separate laws, but there are Muslim Arbitration Courts which act as arbiters, but under framework of English law

So its mostly just pretend laws so they can feel like they are still being oppressed in Saudi Arabia?
It is what a lot of Muslims want anyway, I'd have no issue with implementing separate full Sharia Law in the UK for Muslims only, as long as they can choose to opt out of it.
The only religious court that has legal standing in the UK is the Church of England ecclesiastical courts. There are a number of religious arbitration services dealing in divorce, family matters and financial matters between parties, but all have to follow UK laws.

Anything is better than watching Prince Harry lying through his teeth for money. I went to Google News and that's the top story for today!

You think Price Harry is lying about mental health issues, for money?
On the one hand I agree, he has disassociated himself from the Royal Family and seems to be doing nothing apart from chasing the lights and money using his name. His new "mental health" project being one way to help rake in the cash.
However, one cannot deny his mental health has also been hugely affected by the death of this mother and the media attention/causation. And often some of the best and most active advocates for mental health are those that have experience of having their own negatively affected.
I am kind of concerned that Meghan just exploits this part of him for her own gain though, and as Harry ages he'll just become a whimpering, snivelling, irrelevant shadow of his former self while she goes from strength to strength.
Do they?
