Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes.
Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead.
As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence.
Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
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.
Devastating.
The first moments after israel carried out its terr*r strike in al-Nuseirat camp killing a Palestinian named Islam Saleh, who’se been displaced from his home in north Gaza for long months.

NEW: Our visual analysis suggests the United States hit two drinking-water facilities overnight in southern Iran with precision-guided munitions. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime. w/ @ckoettl@johnismay@ArtemisChats
John Healey resigns as Defence Secretary over Keir Starmer's lack of defence funding.
He didn't resign over Keir Starmer and the Labour government's arming, intelligence-sharing and enabling of the genocide in Gaza.
🚨 NEW: More than 1,500 Palestinian patients have died waiting for medical evacuation as more than 16,500 remain trapped in Gaza, the Health Ministry says.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israel is preventing more than 16,500 patients in need of treatment abroad from leaving the Strip, despite the ceasefire in place since October.
Acting Undersecretary Maher Shamiya said more than 1,500 patients who had received medical referrals died before they could be evacuated. Only 1,204 patients have been allowed to leave through the Rafah and Karem Abu Salem crossings since limited medical evacuations resumed on February 1, 2026, after the crossings had been closed for roughly 20 months.
Shamiya said Israel was systematically obstructing access to life-saving treatment through prolonged security procedures and severe restrictions at the crossings. He added that many of the patients could be treated inside Gaza if Israel stopped blocking the reconstruction of the territory’s devastated healthcare system and allowed the entry of essential medicines, fuel, and medical supplies.
He warned that “every day of delay increases the number of victims and threatens the lives of more patients.” The Health Ministry has previously said 6 to 10 patients die each day from treatable diseases or injuries because they cannot access the care they need.

.@JohnHealey_MP is one of world’s most heinous war criminals
He ordered UK spy flights over Gaza for over a year
The intel gathered was handed to genocidal Israeli military in real-time
@IntlCrimCourt cannot let him escape accountability for his crimes
i haťe when capitalists are like “but under communism people will have to do jobs that they don't want to do” as if all the people currently working 80 hours per week at three different fast food restaurants are doing it for the love of the game
New footage has emerged in the killing of seven-month-old Palestinian Sam Abu Haikal in the occupied West Bank.
The video appears to show the family's car slowing to a stop before an Israeli soldier opens fire.

Just in: A video from inside a court in occupied Jerusalem shows Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appearing via video link and attempting to speak with his attorney before Israeli court security blocked the screen and terminated the call, preventing journalists from filming the exchange or the video appearance.
I listened carefully to what the attorney was saying to Dr. Abu Safiya. It appeared that Dr. Abu Safiya could not hear him. The attorney repeatedly stated that he could neither see nor hear Dr. Abu Safiya after his “captors turned off the camera.” He also informed him that some people were present in the courtroom to show their support and that they were waiting for the judge to arrive so that he could be brought back on screen before the court addressed the appeal.
This is Israel’s democracy. Dr. Abu Safiya has been subjected to starvation, abuse, and cruel torture, and this latest development only adds to concerns about the conditions he has endured and the lack of public scrutiny surrounding his case.
we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
