Another elderly peaceful Palestine Action anti-genocide protester has just been arrested outside Woolwich Crown Court for holding a sign. The utter fiasco undertaken by the British state to protect Israel at the expense of its own citizens goes on unabated.

Setting fire to houses with families inside them: legitimate concerns

Criminal damage to an arms company supplying a genocide: terrorism

[Mohammed Elnaiem @m_elnaiem]

In Britain, you're a terrorist if you try to materially stop a genocide. If you join a pogrom, you're just "fed up".

[David Miller @Tracking_Power]

All pretence cast aside. A vicious attack on the Anti-Zionist movement by the British state acting for the Zionist regime in defence of genocide.

Shameful.

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

That people trying to stop genocide are sentenced as terrorists is a hideous injustice.

But remember these words, too.

This country is headed to naked right-wing authoritarian rule.

This precedent will be used to lock up dissidents.

You've been warned.

Remember it.

[John Wight @JohnWight1]

This judge, Jeremy Johnson, is a servant of genocide in our time.

A veritable bewigged monster in human form.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

This is an affront to British justice & democracy. This is what Starmer, Lammy & Cooper have created in Britain: a system that represents Netanyahu & Elbit Systems rather than the interests of the British people, the vast majority of whom want to stop arms sales to Israel. The right to protest is dead, the right to an open & honest trial is dead. The right to be on the side of peace & human decency rather than genocide, is dead

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The sentences handed to four young activists for taking direct action at an Israeli arms factory are completely disproportionate and wrong.

They've been sentenced for a "terrorist connection" they were never charged with.

A clear miscarriage of justice and dangerous precedent.

So just to get my head straight and so I’m clear: the first pic is an act of terrorism and the second is an act of protest…… Have I got that correct??🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️

Israeli firm "meddled" in Scottish Parliament election

[Peter Shearer @shearernorthern]

If this man is in your family you should be truly ashamed of him. A disgrace to the history of our country and to humanity.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.

Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.

A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

No words needed 💔

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

6 years for criminal damage.

Very happy to discuss ‘two tier justice’.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

[Ross Greer @Ross_Greer]

Now that Israeli interference in the Scottish election has been confirmed (by the French intelligence services) I wonder if everyone blaming this solely on Russia and Iranian bots will care to update their posts?

[Ross Colquhoun @rosscolquhoun]

🤖 Remember the Sarwar bots? This should be a bigger story than it currently is. Israel appears to have interfered with the Scottish election, according to French authorities.

[The National @ScotNational]

NEW: An Israeli private influence firm is suspected of meddling in elections in Scotland and New York City as part of a wider global interference operation, according to France’s state disinformation watchdog
