Dr Rehiana Ali @Rehiana1980 appeared in Wesminster Magistrate’s court for a plea hearing today. She refused to enter a plea and filed a motion to have the case thrown out as a politically motivated abuse of process backed by the British government and the Israeli lobby.
She’s using bindman solicitors but spoke in person at the hearing to the presiding magistrate. The next hearing has been scheduled for 25th sept at crown court.
Dr Ali intends to judicially review the decision not to hear her motion to have the case thrown out.
@CrispinShow was also in the gallery.

A beautiful film from the dawn of the 20th century. People stroll along the grand Blackpool North Pier in their Sunday best. Incredibly this was filmed over 120 years ago, in 1903.
Miriam Margolyes recalls why she never forgave John Cleese and Graham Chapman
“Women weren’t allowed to join Footlights in the days when I was there.”
“They stopped speaking to me off stage, so that is called being sent to Coventry.”
“It wounded me terribly. And I wasn’t invited to the cast party.”
“I’ve never really forgiven them.”
“They lacked that thing, which is the human part of the gene.”
“I’m glad he’s old and unfunny.”
The Western media manufactures consent for genocide. It normalizes Israel’s decades-long military occupation and apartheid. It erases Israel’s flagrant violations of international law. It perpetuates the fallacy of Israeli victimhood. It betrays, discredits and demonizes the work of Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza, at least 220 of whom have been killed by Israel between Oct. 7, 2023, and August 2025. It supinely accepts draconian Israeli censorship. It acquiesces with tepid letters of protest at Israel’s refusal to allow foreign reporters in Gaza — an effort by Israel to mask its war crimes. It amplifies Israeli lies to obfuscate the truth.
Words matter. Words justify actions. If there is no genocide, if Israel is defending itself in a war, the U.S. and Israel’s European allies have the right to provide tens of billions of dollars in military aid. If this is a war begun by Hamas on Oct. 7 then it is possible to lament the obliteration of Gaza and mass slaughter by Israel as a regrettable result of the Hamas attack.
Slogans which call for Palestinian liberation — including “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — along with the Palestinian flag, have been criminalized.
The message is clear: Jewish lives matter. Palestinian lives do not.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Norman Finkelstein to discuss the ongoing genocide in Gaza, media bias and much more!

going from being a political prisoner and abolitionist to becoming an icon of Black liberation and anti-imperialism, then to endorsing Kamala Harris, and now lending your name to attack the current target of the full weight of empire is a hell of a life trajectory. what a tragic turn of legacy.

Finkelstein: "Israel has become a nation of child killers. From Daniella Weiss to Benny Morris-from settlers urinating on children to soldiers filming a dying boy and blocking aid."
This is not a few bad apples. This is a citizen army.
When the entire spectrum-from extreme to mainstream-treats Palestinian children as subhuman, it's not an aberration. It's a national character
