BREAKING: The Supreme Court has granted permission to appeal the Court of Appeal judgment on the Palestine Action ban.

We will be arguing in the Supreme Court that the ban is unlawful, as it is disproportionate to free speech and the right to protest.

The fight continues.

A jury was kept in the dark about the potential terrorism sentences when it convicted five Palestine Action activists who sprayed red paint and cracked windows at a Lancashire branch of Barclays a year before the group's proscription.

"The action was also never part of Yvette Cooper’s decision-making process and assessment prior to proscription."

Spraying red paint on a bank. That's what the CPS wants sentenced as terrorism; for an action from August 2024, before Palestine Action was even proscribed. You might not care about Palestine. But this is dystopian as hell. Literally the stuff of authoritarian dictatorships.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Some folks don’t believe that a “principled AI company” would destroy books after they suck out all the information for their models, even one-of-a-kind books and manuscripts.

Here it is admitted in open court.

[Ahmad Chamseddine @Achamsedine]

Cet automne, pour la première fois depuis 250 ans, ma famille ne récoltera pas d'olives au Liban.

Nos 600 oliviers ont été arrachés du sol par l'armée israélienne, racines comprises, et emportés. Les plus vieux avaient 500 ans !

Cette terre, mon grand-père la tenait de son arrière-grand-père. En deux siècles et demi, ma famille a acheté de la terre. Elle n'en a jamais vendu un mètre, pas un seul jour. Chez nous, on ne construit pas sur la terre. On y plante. Ces arbres ont survécu à plusieurs guerres. Ils ont survécu à tout.

Regardez les deux photos. À gauche, notre terre le 25 juin, la veille de la signature de l'accord entre le Liban et Israël. À droite, la même terre le 20 juillet.

Il ne reste rien. Et c’est justement ça, la preuve. Un incendie laisse des troncs noirs debout. Une frappe laisse des cratères. Ici, pas un tronc calciné, pas une souche, pas un débris. Une terre nue, raclée, griffée par les chenilles des engins. Déterrer un olivier de 500 ans sans le tuer demande des pelleteuses, un savoir-faire, des camions et une destination. Ce n’est pas un dégât de guerre. C’est une opération, sur une terre où il n’y avait ni armes, ni combattants, ni présence militaire. Ma famille n'a jamais été liée de près ou de loin au Hezbollah, et elle ne le sera jamais. Il n'y avait que des arbres, et des gens qui les taillent depuis huit générations.

D'après les témoignages qui nous parviennent, ces arbres auraient été emportés de l'autre côté de la frontière, vers Israël.

L'accord signé entre le Liban et Israël, censé préparer la paix, protège les biens des civils. Je demande simplement qu'il soit appliqué : que le sort des arbres déterrés soit établi, que ceux qui sont encore vivants soient rendus. Si nos arbres sont vivants quelque part, ils peuvent revenir. Je ne cherche pas une vengeance. Je cherche une adresse !

J'ai hésité à écrire ces lignes, pour ne pas provoquer des réactions d'un côté comme de l'autre. Mais je refuse de faire le deuil de ces oliviers. Dans ces arbres vit l'âme de mon grand-père, ancien général de la police libanaise, un homme qui a toujours cru dans la paix, dans les humains et dans la lumière. Il taillait ces arbres à mains nues. Il répétait : “on ne vend pas la terre, on la transmet”
Je lui dois de ne pas me taire.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

An ICC arrest warrant bears your name for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the use of starvation as a weapon. Named at the ICJ for genocide. A fugitive from international justice.

Enjoy nothing, Mr. Genocide.

[Kashif Chaudhry @KashifMD]

The allegations against @KarimKhanQC deserved a fair, independent process. So did Khan. But an honest review of the timeline raises a far larger question about the future of international justice and the rule of law. https://t.co/NhT2ZfbACX

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

They are not blaming him for doing foreign policy. They are blaming him not not following THEIR foreign policy.

Meet ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan 🔥

He issued an arrest warrant against 🇮🇱Netanyahu for the Gaza genocide.

He was threatened over the Israel cases.

🇺🇸 12 U.S. senators sent a letter saying, “Go after 🇮🇱 Israel and we will go after you and your family.”

Then came sanctions, frozen accounts, and travel bans.

Then ICC members voted him out over alleged sexual misconduct without any evidence.

This man has now lost everything just because he was on the right side of history.

What courage this man has. He is earning massive respect worldwide for his spine 💪 🫡

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Khan's removal lines up neatly with the fight to neutralise Netanyahu's arrest warrant. Coincidence is a luxury intl law can no longer afford.

This proves that justice DOES threaten Apartheid Israel & Co. So if the ICC is paralysed, lawyers and judges worldwide must do more.

@TiceRichard They will be hearing the sound of silence..

Here’s a terrible cover of a great song, there’s an appropriate metaphor in there somewhere.

[Stuart Shearing: The Resonant Leadership Program @resonantleaders]

@elonmusk Agreed - political change, like maybe stop bombing and destroying countries, then acting all surprised when people with nothing flee from the rubble (tent fabric) and try to find somewhere safe to go.

For many who watched this video, it was a warning from the future.

Over 8 million views across YouTube and Instagram.

One of the most raw encounters I’ve ever had.

@DjedSpence @England Fair play man, you did great.

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

@wesstreeting You called South Africa's application to the ICJ a "distraction." Maybe sit this one out.

[Stuart Shearing: The Resonant Leadership Program @resonantleaders]

@xIsraelExposedx Doesn’t feel right to heart this post. My sincere respect for your principles, effort and love.

Just a reminder that in the UK, Palestine Action is a proscribed terrorist organisation and the IDF is not.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

Yeah I know Andy Burnham doesn’t wear a tie, likes buses to run on time and detests the London elite, but any chance we can find out what he thinks about Israel’s genocide in Gaza and how he’ll pursue accountability?
