Fatema Rajwani was 21 years old.
She broke equipment at a factory supplying drones to the Israeli military.
She now carries the legal label “terrorist” for life - by a British state that calls selling weapons during Israel’s genocide of Gaza “security.”
Dear @hildebentele as someone who lived under apartheid in SA, fought against it & served in our first democratic parliament, & as a researcher & writer have travelled in & published extensively about Israel, I can assure you that there are many common features of SA & Israeli apartheid & some important structural differences. I’m happy to explain these to you in detail. It’s also important to remember that my former boss Nelson Mandela & my friend Archbishop Desmond Tutu described Israeli apartheid as more brutal than South Africa’s
Tom Wainwright, one of the defence barristers, said of the destruction of drones:
“They may have been involved in taking the lives of men, women and children in Gaza. That is why they acted. That’s something that – in a sane world – would be commended.”

Caitlin Johnstone: A War on Human Conscience
https://t.co/FvxeO12Omc
It’s a war on the human conscience. Sentencing anti-genocide activists as terrorists. Working to deport mainstream foreign policy experts for criticizing a U.S. war. They’re actually punishing people for not acting like sociopaths. @caitoz
The result of the dirty trick that Judge Johnson's was allowed to play on the defendants, jury, the legal profession & anyone who still believes in justice - is that judges are dishonest & can't be trusted.
Please RT this until this travesty of justice is rectified.
Thank you
@RigaToniOHoagie@ultras_antifaa Ok. Show me these proper facts. There's lots wrong with how the current system is run, but it's not the refugees who are getting rich off it.
Justice Jeremy Johnson will go down in history alongside Percy Yutar who sent Mandela & his comrades to jail for life, alongside all the apartheid South African judges who shamefully jailed activists for opposing the system. Despicable & indefensible
Veteran Cold Warrior Applebaum is being deservedly mocked for this drivel.
What binds China, Russia, Iran and North Korea isn't some shared terror of “liberal language.” It's simply that Washington has designated them as enemies.
That’s it. It doesn’t go much deeper than that.
@AlistairCarns Or we could just avoid having wars. But appreciate that doing that would reduce your personal gravy train opportunities so you'd prefer to pretend that solution doesn't exist.
Well done to all who joined the amazing 4,000 strong anti-racist and anti-fascist mobilisation in Brighton today which stopped the 200 or so far right marching through our city - this sort of mass mobilisation shows how to stop the far right in their tracks @AntiRacismDay
