This is absolutely insane.
The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action.
They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries.
They killed five people!
Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.
I was meant to meet Hasan in person, until our government banned him from entering the UK.
We met online instead to talk about the repression of Palestinian solidarity — and why we will never stop speaking out against genocide and apartheid.
as ive said since week 2 of EF, demanding the us restrain israel has always been iran's most important priority, and perhaps the one that's proving impossible. everything else is bribery for short term gains that will be utterly meaningless in the long term.
A senior Israeli cabinet minister tells Channel 12: ‘As far as we are concerned, Iran is Trump’s issue and he has the right to pursue an agreement, but Lebanon is ours, we must not agree to the Iranian equation, even at the cost of a severe confrontation with the U.S.’
Solidarity to Grenfell survivors who suffer the eternal pain of loss, nine years on.
72 people died because of corporate greed and negligence. We still do not have justice.
In unity we must defeat austerity & privatisation for good — and defend housing as a human right for all.
As @TrevorPTweets scuttles off to take his place at the right hand of disgraced propagandist @bariweiss at CBS, let's recall his enduring contribution to anti-racist discourse in the UK.
Hasan Piker: “Elon Musk is a fucking failure and yet in spite of his failures, because he happened to be at the right place at the right time, he has failed upwards with his endless wealth. He’s a horrible person, an unbelievably insecure person, and yet he’s the richest person on the planet. We know he doesn’t fucking work hard because he Tweets all the goddamn time”
Today four activists face terror-related sentences for taking direct action against an Elbit Systems weapons factory in Filton, Bristol - a factory that makes drones sent to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza.
Back in April, I warned in Parliament that jurors would not be told terrorism sentences could follow a criminal damage conviction.
No terrorism charges were ever brought. The proscription against Palestine Action has since been ruled unlawful. The defendants were even prevented from telling the jury they acted to stop genocide.
This is a Labour government defending Israeli death factories and stripping away all of our fundamental rights.
Everyone who cares about our democracy should be outraged.
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.
