They won't say who killed him (the Israeli army), or how (while he was trying to collect food aid for his children). Meanwhile, Israel remains a full member of UEFA even as its domestic teams play on illegally occupied land and its military has killed hundreds of footballers.
Kent police officers claim that holding the Palestine flag and a placard which says Free Gaza, can be considered to be expressing a belief in support of Palestine Action, a now proscribed group.
My favourite thing about this country is that 'you can't take money from millionaires, they might leave' is considered a more valid and compelling argument than 'you can't take money from disabled people, they might die'.
The police and government are flexing their muscles to test their latest escalation in authoritarianism.
More than twenty arrests for terrorism offences at this protest so far.
Fight the police state, but remember the cause at the core of all this

At midnight, Palestine Action will be proscribed under the Terrorism Act.
Their real “crime”? Exposing the UK’s role in arming Israel’s genocide.
This is a dark day for our democracy.
Criminalising non-violent resistance won’t silence the truth.
We are all Palestine Action 🇵🇸
My friends and comrades in Palestine Action are among the bravest, most principled people I’ve ever met. Starmer’s government of liars and war criminals will be crushed by history.
Let a thousand @Pal_action’s bloom. The empire can ban a group, but they can’t ban our solidarity.
.@Pal_action isn’t being proscribed because they are terrorists, but because they have been astonishingly effective at disrupting the work of Israel’s largest weapons company.
An inexhaustive, chronological thread of the group’s achievements to date 🧵
IDF: Death to Palestinians!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to Arabs!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to children!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to journalists!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to medics!
West: Yes!
IDF: Death to aid workers!
West: Yes!
People: Death to IDF!
West: HOW DARE THEY!
Share this article about @Pal_action before the government decides doing so would be illegal support of a proscribed terrorist group!
Also watch the film and shout at your MP if you're into that.

I support using civil disobedience and direct action to try and disrupt an ongoing genocide that developed out of occupation and apartheid.
If that’s ‘Palestine Action’ then I support Palestine Action.
So would many of their critics if it was happening some time or place else.
Two decades of the ‘war on terror’.
This year has seen the US and UK celebrate the former senior ISIS and Al Qaeda commander Ahmed al-Sharaa taking power in Syria.
While people who take action to stop an ongoing genocide are prosecuted under anti-terrorism laws.
Sums it up.
The banning of @Pal_action is a threat to us all, and a very dangerous precedent. We demand that the government drop this proposal and end their military, diplomatic, intelligence and political support for Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people

This is the most insane Israeli public opinion poll I’ve ever seen. More than half of Jewish Israelis support genocide *in explicit terms*—“all residents of a conquered enemy city should be killed”
