BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York.
Apartheid without borders.

P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.

I am ashamed of my country and I don't understand why nobody in charge can find the decency to say this was obviously wrong. That the agent in question is suspended pending the investigation and is deeply sorry, etc.

The High Court ruled in February that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful...

The MET rightly said it would stop making arrests...

But after the government launched an appeal, on Saturday the Police arrested over 500 protesters - with Amnesty observing the use of handcuffs on multiple peaceful protesters.

If you think this is plainly disproportionate and absurd, you’re not alone.

Thousands of Amnesty International Supporters have signed a petition calling for all prosecutions against these protesters to be dropped. Add your name today: https://t.co/G1SPRPIzvp

"Al mijn voorgangers zijn beschuldigd van antisemitisme en steun terreur, want dat doet mensen zwijgen. Ik kreeg steun die liet zien dat dit de aandacht afleidt van waar het omgaat. En ik heb me het zwijgen niet laten opleggen."

EU strips journalist Hüseyin Doğru (@hussedogru) of livelihood over pro-Palestine reporting

• Doğru’s coverage of anti-Israel demonstrations in Germany was cited as evidence of his ties to “Russian disinformation campaigns.”

• After Doğru’s bank accounts were frozen, the sanctions were extended to his spouse’s accounts, effectively cutting off the family’s livelihood.

• The EU labels Doğru as a Turkish citizen, despite the fact that he was born and raised in Germany and never obtained Turkish citizenship. This designation denies him legal remedies he would otherwise have as an EU citizen.

• Yet he is not surprised by what happened to him: “People are shocked with that, but why are you shocked? You’re talking about a country that supports another country that on purpose kills babies in Gaza; why would they be afraid to do the same here in a different way?”

NOW: Border Patrol agents are pointing weapons at the press outside the Home2Suites Hilton in Minneapolis as they reportedly prepare to evacuate federal agents from the hotel.

Let that sink in.

In America, journalists are getting guns in their faces so the government can extract masked agents from a hotel like it’s a covert op.

Trump is just the trigger.
There are deep historical forces:
The dismantling of the FCC fairness doctrine by Reagan, the resulting emergence of Fox News, conservative talk radio, and other propaganda outlets, the removal of guardrails for the influence of money in politics (e.g. Citizen United), the continuous reduction of taxes on high incomes, the ever-increasing wealth and income inequalities enabled by the above, the stagnation of working class income despite continued increase in productivity (and corporate profits), the total lack of social protection and benefits compared to other developed countries.
People in the middle class and below have been screwed for 40 years and are angry.
They should be angry at Republicans.
But the Republican party has managed to deflect their anger towards immigrants, non-Christians, non-whites, liberals, LGBT, China, academia, intellectual "elites", scientists, journalists, and non-existent scarecrows like Antifa.

🇬🇧To the UK government: the more people you arrest to shamefully cover up Israel's genocide the more decent people will stand up against you in the name of human rights.
In the end, we will all make sure that the leaders who are complicit with Israel genocide will face justice.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Never would I have imagined seeing European leaders turn against their own citizens-crushing protest, free journalism, academic freedom-all to avoid holding a genocidal state to account.
Yet History rarely announces itself as barbarism; it often arrives disguised as civilization.

Alternative headline: Israel accelerates its illegal annexation of the West Bank and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

I stand with Francesca Albanese. No one should be punished for reporting the truth.

Silencing her doesn’t change the reality; it only exposes the pressure to hide it.

MSF said that Israel has put around 60 water desalination plants out of use - threatening countless people's lives in Gaza, writes our Palestinian correspondent @alaashamaly
