@jwordfish@JosephKBennett@LBC Absolutely exhausting. How can anyone look
at occupied Palestine and think that the real issue is whether Palestinian side is polite enough? Whether they are thoughtful enough about how hurtful their words might be.
Imagine you lived in Nazi Germany and there was an organisation that tried to stop Hitler by smashing an arms factory up and splashing red paint around ? Don’t you think they would have been looked upon as being brave and heroic? Can you imagine anyone calling that organisation a terrorist organisation? Can you imagine anyone describing those who committed that criminal damage, terrorists ? Maybe Starmer and Starmer’s hand picked judges perhaps?
So now today, we have the Filton 4 who will be sentenced this Friday June 12 th. And Yes, they were found guilty of criminal damage but are now threatened with the sentence being linked to terrorism which would make it a much longer and more serious sentence. The government is testing the waters, turning the law upside down and framing the peace activist as terrorists and those who profit from genocide, as victims. Don’t let them get away with it.
Join us Friday to oppose this ludicrous and unjust “terrorist link” sentencing that Judge Johnson is reportedly planning to use against the Filton 4. Seriously, If they get away with sentencing them as terrorists it means they will be able to do it to anyone, any time, anywhere , for anything. Please, if you like the post, please share it . See you Friday June 12 at 5.30 Victoria monument Derby square outside the courts.
At the behest of Zionist Israel - it's illegal in the UK (& you could face 14 years in prison) just for stating that you support Palestine Action.
Please RT this - until this proscription (which results in elderly people holding placards being arrested as terrorists- is lifted.
On October 29, 2023 Refaat Alareer made a joke about the obvious “Hamas put a baby in an oven” hoax that Zionists were pushing.
Bari Weiss knew damn well that no Israeli babies were put in ovens on Oct 7. She knew damn that only one Israeli baby period was killed on Oct 7.
But that didn’t matter. She took Refaat’s joke about this ridiculous hoax and tweeted it out to her millions of rabid Zionist followers and within hours he was receiving death threats from IDF soldiers.
Refaat and his family were murdered by a targeted Israeli airstrike on his home a month later.
I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.
He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.
Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.
Over two trials, Johnson has bent over backwards to secure convictions against the four, so that he can sentence them as 'terrorists' on June 12.
Please help us to hold him to account by signing the letter.
Join us on June 12th at Woolwich Crown Court.

@wesstreeting Thank you Wes, for going public on this matter of ‘moral urgency’, and after only 2 and a half years of genocide. Only the most cynical would see this as an attempt to secure your future career.
The Filton 25 are a group of direct actionists who targeted Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, to stop the genocide in Gaza.
They were all acquitted of the most serious charge of aggravated burglary and were released from prison.
However, following the retrial of the first 6, four of them were remanded back into prison and are now facing sentencing on 12th of June with a possible terrorism connection.
This is the first time in UK history that pro-Palestine activists will be sentenced for terrorism.
📅 12th June
📍 Woolwich Crown Court
⏰ 10am–5pm
Join the mobilisation and show that direct action is not terrorism.
Write to court and demand that Judge Jeremy Johnson be removed from the case.

Juliet Lamont's Gaza Flotilla testimony:
"Occupation, does it corrupt?"
The title of this mid-80s comic strip, by late cartoonist Dudu Geva, derives from one of the classic "Israeli left" slogans, "Occupation Corrupts" (referring only to the 67 occupation, of course).
@steverichards14 In the world created by Tony Blair radical has two meanings. For white politicians, radical means that you support the market at the expense of civil society. If you are a brown politician it means that you are a dangerous subversive who should be banned from the public square.
I saw the film Palestine 36 last night, while in Beirut. It portrays how the British kept handing Palestinian land to Zionist settlers, and how indigenous rural Palestinians organised armed resistance to fight back.
Two things. First, 'israel' clearly learned their brutal tactics for oppressing Palestinians from the British. Rounding up men, executing them, blowing up whole villages, setting fire to crops etc. etc. It is demonic that these same tactics are still being inflicted on Palestinians and Lebanese villages right now, and the world abandons them.
Second, why can't we humanise Palestinian resistance fighters now? The film heroised the men who took up arms. It is a disgrace that so few are willing to stand up for, defend, or humanise the men who are taking up arms against the occupation now. Maybe they will make films about them in 100 years when there is nothing riding on it.
"I don’t think this is fair on most men (decent men) either."
It's ironic that this terf thinks men behave around bras in exactly the same way as they behave in a Glinner bit.
Manchester cafe owner says police tried to recruit him to spy on Palestine Action
“They said to me: ‘We need your help. Look, there’s benefits in helping us…’”
“Are you going to pay my taxes?” They said: ‘Oh, we can help with things like that.’

Many of the submissions in the royal commission into antisemitism are jaw-dropping examples of outright anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab racism, explicitly demanding the erasure of any reminder of our existence from public life.
