Periodic reminder that "direct action" is merely a progressive euphemism for "domestic terrorism." #ICYMI I've conveniently compiled a collection of security cam, GoPro & body cam footage of the break-in Elbit Systems UK for which "Palestine Action" domestic terrorists were sentenced today & for whom Zack Polanski here is...

Today's ruling by the Court of Appeal is deeply disappointing. This case remains about much more than one group. What’s important for all of us to understand is that proscription is one of the strongest powers the government has. Treating protest as terrorism leaves the door wide open for governments to suppress other protest movements in the future. We have long said that the banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is a grave misuse of counter-terrorism powers with serious consequences for human rights. It is a huge overreach to treat direct action protest as terrorism. Amnesty will continue to defend the freedoms that allow people to speak out and hold the powerful to account.

Acclaimed Irish novelist Sally Rooney has said it is an “honour” to stand with Palestine despite the backlash she has faced for doing so. Addressing a crowd at the People’s Congress for the Hague Group in Amsterdam, organised by Progressive International, the Normal People author said: “For those of us living at the heart of empire, those of us who have the extraordinary privilege of a public platform, it is not a question of paying a price. “On the contrary, we should see and say that it is the honour of our lives to stand with Palestine.” Rooney has previously been advised to avoid travel to the UK after expressing support for Palestine Action, the direct action group proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July last year. The proscription has subsequently been ruled unlawful. The Hague Group was formed in January 2025 by several countries, including Colombia, South Africa and Malaysia. The bloc has committed to ending arms shipments to Israel and pursuing justice against Israeli war criminals.

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb spoke out in the House of Lords against the UK government’s decision to label Palestine Action a terrorist group, saying the group’s actions should not be criminalised under terrorism laws. She criticised the move as political, referencing a recent incident at RAF Brize Norton where campaigners sprayed paint on refuelling planes. "Spraying paint... is not terrorism. It's criminal damage, which we already have laws for," she said. Baroness Jones added that public opinion is increasingly against arms sales to Israel, and that if the government wanted groups like Palestine Action to disappear, it should "stop sending arms to Israel and giving military support to a foreign government engaged in ethnic cleansing." She warned that ministers had acted out of fear that juries might not convict Palestine Action campaigners due to growing public outrage over the UK’s role in Israel’s war on Gaza.

🇬🇧 As a UK lawyer addressing the Prime Minister's inaction towards armed gangs running the streets, it's important to evaluate the legal framework and the Prime Minister's obligations under the law 🇬🇧 UK Legal Obligations and Potential Offences of the Prime Minister 🇬🇧 1. Dereliction of Duty. The Prime Minister, as the head of the government, has a duty to uphold the law and ensure the safety of the public. Ignoring armed gangs and dismissing public concerns could be seen as a failure to fulfil this duty, potentially amounting to dereliction of duty. 2. Misconduct in Public Office. The common law offence of misconduct in public office applies when a public official willfully neglects to perform their duties or acts in a way that amounts to an abuse of the public's trust. Ignoring violent gangs and accusing the public of racism for their concerns could be interpreted as such misconduct. 3. Negligence. Under civil law, negligence occurs when someone fails to take reasonable care to avoid causing injury or loss to another person. The Prime Minister's inaction could be seen as a form of negligence if it can be shown that it has led to harm or risk to the public. 4. Breach of the Human Rights Act 1998. The European Convention on Human Rights, incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998, protects individuals' rights to life (Article 2) and security (Article 5). The state's failure to address violent gangs could be seen as a breach of these rights, especially if the violence results in harm to individuals. 5. Incitement to Racial Hatred. While the Prime Minister is accusing the public of racism and far right extremism, it's crucial to ensure that his statements do not incite racial hatred, which is an offence under the Public Order Act 1986. However, this is more about ensuring balanced rhetoric rather than an offence the Prime Minister himself might be committing. Potential Offences Committed by the Armed Muslim gangs. 1. Possession of Firearms and Offensive Weapons. Under the Firearms Act 1968 and the Prevention of Crime Act 1953, carrying firearms and other weapons in public without a license is a serious offence. 2. Public Order Offences. Their actions likely violate the Public Order Act 1986, prohibiting behaviour that causes harassment, alarm, or distress. 3. Terrorism Offences Chanting extremist slogans while armed could fall under the Terrorism Act 2000, which includes the glorification of terrorism and inciting violence. 4. Incitement to Violence. Encouraging violent acts is a criminal offence under the Serious Crime Act 2007. 5. Affray. Engaging in behaviour causing others to fear for their safety violates the Public Order Act 1986. 6. Trespassing and Damage to Property Likely offences under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 if they are trespassing and causing property damage. 7. Conspiracy to Commit Offences. Organizing and participating in coordinated attacks is a conspiracy to commit multiple offences, punishable under the Criminal Law Act 1977. Conclusion The Prime Minister's inaction in the face of such blatant lawlessness is deeply troubling. It could be construed as misconduct in public office or even negligence, given the duty to protect the public and uphold the law. Moreover, the public's concerns are legitimate and should be addressed with due seriousness, not dismissed as racist or far right extremism. This is a critical issue requiring immediate and effective action to maintain public order and trust in the government. Share,like,follow and comment for your opinion to be heard. 🇬🇧

The UK government has repeatedly said that it’s not for them but for judicial bodies to determine whether a genocide is taking place in Gaza. But this utterly fails to take account of the “obligation to prevent” duty in the genocide convention. If you have a duty to prevent, you can’t wait until a court has made a determination before you take preventative action. So in light of Amnesty International's report out today that finds that Israel has perpetrated 3 acts against Palestinians in Gaza which are prohibited under the Genocide Convention, I asked the Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell MP if this is something the Government is prepared to make time for a debate about, given it goes to the heart of UK compliance with international law. Her answer: "I will ensure that there is time to consider some of the issues that she's raised." 👀

Francesca Albanese on Fire: A Lesson to Canada 🇨🇦 on International Law and Palestinian 🇵🇸 Rights "The priority is to stop the genocide. If the government here, the parliamentarians here want to call it a 'Ceasefire,' call it the way they want, but this is the priority. The rest is secondary. Which doesn't mean that the recognition of the State of Palestine is not important. My question is, if this country has entertained discussions on the two-state solution, how come it does not recognize the state of Palestine yet? What is there to be debated? The recognition of Palestine 🇵🇸 shouldn't take time; it should be automatic and be an act of coherence. Otherwise, if you don't recognize it, it means that you shouldn't be talking about it at all. Why are you even a voice in the debate? It's about coherence. I know what I'm saying is blunt, but we need to be blunt because the impunity that has been granted to Israel for decades has led to this, which is a disaster both for the Palestinians and the Israelis. Again, diplomatic talks have been turned into a place to justify the unimaginable, the illegal... Is Canada spending any of its political capital to make sure that the genocide ends as soon as possible, the ceasefire, whatever, but then there is already a deadline set for the end of occupation? The ICJ has passed an advisory opinion which declares the occupation unlawful and to be dismantled unconditionally and totally as rapidly as possible, and that 'as rapid as possible' has been defined by the General Assembly; it must happen by September next year. What is Canada doing to ensure that the Occupation is dismantled? And then, more than these, there is Apartheid. I know that in this country, you feel uncomfortable with the word 'Apartheid,' but you have to tell me why? Because I, together with Israeli human rights organizations, Palestinian human rights organizations, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Harvard University, and thousands of Israelis, talking about Apartheid, give you the evidence of it, and here, like in other parts of North America, I hear, 'Hmm... we cannot say that word.' It's your problem... International law is so clear that it doesn't allow you to find excuses. So, however, end the genocide, end the Occupation, end the Apartheid; this is what it means to apply international law and help build peace for Palestinians, Israelis, and anyone who calls that land home." — Francesca Albanese at a Press Conference in Canada.

This is what terrorism now looks like in the UK. Yesterday, the Court of Appeal accepted the Government's appeal and ruled that the Home Secretary's proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was lawful. Amnesty International is deeply disappointed by this decision. Treating direct action as terrorism is a dangerous misuse of counter-terrorism powers and has led to thousands of arrests of entirely peaceful protesters - something that will long be remembered as a deeply shameful chapter in our history. The fight is far from over. We will continue to challenge the government's efforts to crack down on our right to protest and hold power to account.

An 83-year-old priest was among 27 people arrested in London’s Parliament Square on Saturday during a silent protest against the UK government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group. The group held signs saying "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action" and had notified police of their peaceful intentions ahead of the gathering. Palestine Action is a direct action network that targets Israeli arms manufacturing facilities in the UK through various forms of protests. Support for the group is now a criminal offence under UK law, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Rights groups have condemned the move as a dangerous attack on civil liberties. "This is what happens in modern-day Britain for opposing genocide, it’s quite something isn’t it?" said one protester as he was arrested.

It was honest, it was forthright, it was direct, and in this case it was also brief.

It is done in violation of international law and also federal approval, and I am in opposition to a pursuit of regime change.” Source: Kaitlan Collins Zohran Kwame Mamdani

Palestine welcomes the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice today. The ICJ judges assessed the facts and the law. They ruled in favor of humanity and international law. We call on all states to ensure that all provisional measures ordered by the Court are implemented, including by Israel, the occupying power. This is a binding legal obligation. States now have clear legal obligations to stop Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinian people in Gaza and to make sure that they are not complicit. The ICJ order is an important reminder that no state is above the law. It should serve as a wake-up call for Israel and actors who enabled its entrenched impunity. Palestine reaffirms its eternal gratitude to the people and government of South Africa for taking this bold step of active solidarity and will continue to work closely with South Africa and other countries to ensure that justice is served.

As the right throw around accusations of liberal activists being ‘terrorists’. Aside from it being utter nonsense, this is all part of a carefully crafted narrative designed to not only stoke division, it is an inferred call to violent action. I can tell you without fear of contradiction that Charlie Kirk was a stochastic terrorist. Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence. This is a textbook definition of the president, the vice president and every major right wing talking head. And there was I thinking the US does not negotiate with terrorists. Might that be because the government itself is a terrorist organization? Thanks to Danielle Kramer for this excellent explanation. 🎥 TikTok -

🇵🇸 NEW: Mass Arrests in London Over Palestine Action Ban 42 people were arrested in London today during a protest demanding the UK government reverse its recent decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group. The group is known for direct actions against Israeli-linked arms manufacturers. The July 5 proscription under the Terrorism Act makes it a crime to support, fundraise for, or belong to Palestine Action. Police cited breaches of the Act, which now criminalizes public expressions of support. A judicial review is set for later this month, though efforts to block the ban have so far failed. Under UK law, membership or promoting a proscribed group can carry up to 14 years in prison. Displaying support, even posters, risks up to 6 months. (Report by Sky News. See also the linked post)

UK police have arrested an 85 year old woman in Manchester for a peaceful protest after she held a sign reading "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine action" and refused to put it away. She was detained under section 13 of the Terrorism Act, with officers claiming she was supporting a proscribed group after the UK government designated Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation in July. The move has been widely described by rights groups and legal critics as a political proscription and a deeply controversial use of terrorism powers. Protest organisers said they were demonstrating against the UK Government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide and the political ban on Palestine Action. Critics say the proscription itself was largely driven by aggressive lobbying from Israeli networks determined to crush any protest action against arms companies enabling Israel’s genocide. They argue the designation had no legitimate security basis and reflects a wider state crackdown aimed at silencing opposition to Israel’s atrocities.

JUST IN: The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S. that endorsed Trump in the last election, has issued a statement condemning his pardon of the violent January 6 rioters. “Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety —they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families. When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence.”

The Singaporean has been arrested after he being defrauded? Why is the NDC Regional Chairman Ashie Moore still free? I know this turn of event follows For The Records exposé on this issue Let’s revisit what the law says from the Political Party Act 2000 (Act 574) PART III-FUNDING OF POLITICAL PARTIES Section 23: Contribution by Citizens. Only a citizen may contribute in cash or in kind to the funds of a political party. A firm, partnership, or enterprise owned by a citizen or a company registered under the laws of the Republic at least seventy-five percent of whose capital is owned by a citizen is for the purposes of this Act a citizen. Section 24: No Contribution by Non-Citizens. A non-citizen shall not directly or indirectly make a contribution or donation or loan whether in cash or in kind to the funds held by or for the benefit of a political party and no political party or person acting for or on behalf of a political party shall demand or accept a contribution donation or loan from a non-citizen. Section 25: Contraventions of this Part. Where any person contravenes section 23 or 24, in addition to any penalty that may be imposed under this Act, any amount whether in cash or in kind paid in contravention of the section shall be forfeited to the State and the amount shall be recovered from the political party as debt owed to the State. The political party or person in whose custody the amount is for the time being held shall pay it to the State. A non-citizen found guilty of contravention of section 24 shall be deemed to be a prohibited immigrant and liable to deportation under the Aliens Act, 1963 (Act 160). The provisions of sections 23 and 24 do not preclude a goverment of any country or a nongovernmental organization from providing assistance in cash or in kind to the Commission for use by the Commission for the collective benefit of registered political parties. The law is clear on this and we expect the NDC Chairman to refund the money sponsored by Toh You Kang into their campaign to the state. Total Abuse of Power! Scam Aban!

John Mearsheimer - undoubtedly the most renowned International Relations scholar in the world today - on Gaza: Israel is "waging a punishment campaign in Gaza, they are punishing the civilian population... The Israelis are interested in causing a huge amount of destruction in Gaza and in the process they are going to kill huge numbers of civilians... It seems to me that when you do that you're committing war crimes. If the Israelis were going to great length to target just Hamas and avoid civilian casualties then you could make a coherent argument that this is not a case of them committing war crimes but they're not doing that, they're purposely tearing the place apart. This is a massive punishment campaign. Furthermore at the same time they've cut off all food, water and gas to Gaza and this means that in effect they're going to end up starving out, or trying to starve out, the civilian population in Gaza. By my understanding of international law, this too is a war crime." He also says the U.S. is "definitely complicit" in those war crimes.

Israel is the excuse to snatch away freedoms we once took for granted: In interviews and a comment article over the weekend, the UK education secretary Bridget Phillipson made clear she plans to exploit the pause in the Gaza genocide to snuff out criticism of Israel’s criminal actions – and, of course, her own government’s collusion in that criminality. Naturally, the British establishment media have been keen to amplify her message that there will be painful consequences both for individuals who continue protesting against Israeli atrocities and for institutions, such as universities, that mistakenly assume they have a duty to uphold centuries-old freedoms by tolerating such protests. These protests, let us remember, are fully in line with a ruling last year from the International Court of Justice, the world’s highest court, which declared: a) Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian territory and enforcing a system of apartheid rule over the Palestinian populations there – and has been doing so for decades. b) Western governments are obligated to do what they can to bring that illegal occupation and Israel’s apartheid system to an end as quickly as possible. Instead, those same governments are violating the ruling, and international law, both by continuing to support Israel’s criminality and by preventing their own citizens from putting pressure on them to end their support. The government of Keir Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, has even categorised protest against genocide as “support for terrorism”. For the first time in British history, a direct-action group, Palestine Action, has been banned as a terrorist organisation – in its case, for targeting weapons factories in Britain arming Israel’s genocide. It is now illegal to express any support for the group. In a commentary in the Sunday Express, Phillipson said she wanted the government’s campaign against free speech to go even further to protect Israel. She intends to import to our shores Donald Trump’s full-frontal assault on academic freedom. She has written to vice-chancellors warning them that their universities face fines and public funding cuts should they allow students to protest on campus against Israeli genocide and apartheid. She added: “I’m clear the buck stops with universities when it comes to ridding their campuses of hate. Institutions have my full backing to use their powers to do so and keep their students safe.” But as the rest of the article made clear, the universities don’t just have her “backing” to act against the protesters. They will be compelled to crack down on protests against Israeli apartheid and genocide – what she calls “hate” – or face stiff financial penalties. This comes in the wake, as Phillipson notes, of separate plans announced by home secretary Shabana Mahmood to give the police further powers to outlaw protests that have a “cumulative impact”. In other words, the police will be empowered to crush the very kind of protests that discomfit governments the most – those that are repeated because there is a strength of popular feeling to which the government is utterly unresponsive. It should hardly need pointing out that western governments are most likely to be unresponsive when it is their own criminal behaviours that are the target of protest, whether it is their collusion in Israel’s genocide or their collusion with corporations to gut meaningful action to halt climate breakdown. Though you would not know it from the media’s cheering, what the British government is doing is stripping out the last vestiges of the right to protest, a right that has been under relentless assault in the UK for the past 40 years. Phillipson’s Sunday interview with Trevor Philips on Sky was illustrative. He pushed the education secretary to be even more draconian in hollowing out speech and protest rights, as well as academic freedom. In turn, Phillipson sought once again to rationalise the government’s demolition of the last pillars of a free society on familiar grounds: as a supposed fight against antisemitism. After conversations with Jewish students and their parents, Phillipson said she had come to appreciate that they are “worried about what it is to be a young Jewish person on campus at the moment in the UK, and we can’t tolerate that”. The reality is that the police already have plenty of powers to deal with what she called antisemitic “harassment and intimidation”. Forces have the government’s backing and wide social support to tackle real race hate. So why are the police not cracking down on these antisemites supposedly roaming our university campuses? The answer – the one Phillipson wants to conceal from us – is that, in the overwhelming majority of cases she’s referring to, Jewish students are not the victims of an attack or even of personal criticism. They have simply been made uncomfortable by the presence of other students exercising a basic democratic right to protest in the public space of a campus – in this case, against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and our own government’s material, diplomatic and financial support for it. Any discomfort felt by some Jewish students flows not from the actual protests but from the fact that these students have been raised as Zionists. They have been raised with a political ideology that makes them identify with Israel. They have chosen to associate their Jewish identity with a state the World Court has declared is both illegally occupying Palestinian territory and enforcing a system of apartheid rule over the Palestinian population. It is not the protesters making an association between Jews and Israel. It is the Zionist Jewish families Phillipson has spoken to – and non-Jews such as Phillipson and Sky’s Philips who think like them. There is a quick fix to this “problem”, one that does not involve shredding the right to protest and freedom of speech, or fining universities who allow students to protest. And that is for the British government, and the British media, to stop treating Israel like it is a normal member of the community of nations – after it has just committed genocide and, on a very best-case scenario, is about to return to a status quo in which Palestinians are brutally abused under systems of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and siege. It is for the British government and media to make clear to Zionist Jewish families, and those non-Jews who think like them, that it is not okay to identify with a criminal state, or to expect any special privilege – protection from being offended – when others want to criticise that criminal state for its criminal actions. There are plenty of British Jews who do not identify with Israel. In fact, many are repulsed by its actions and take part in anti-genocide demonstrations like the one at the weekend in London. Anyone offended by the protests needs to engage in some serious soul-searching. Their offence signals not just an identification with Israel, but an endorsement of its actions, including its genocide and apartheid rule over Palestinians. So why is the government getting this issue so wrong? Here we get to the nub of the matter. The British establishment, including the government and media, are not a disinterested party simply concerned with protecting Jews. Rather, they are an elite desperately trying to protect their own interests in a system of US-driven military supremacy that confers on western powers a sense of their complete entitlement to control over the world’s material resources, most especially in the oil-rich Middle East. Israel is a central pillar of this criminal, militarised enterprise, which is why it needs to be protected at all costs. That cost has included hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have been killed and maimed in Gaza over the past two years. But it also includes the freedoms and rights we once took for granted. Now we see that these freedoms were only ever on licence from the ruling class – a licence that is being revoked now that we have proved too unruly, too defiant, too rebellious.

The Labour Party do not seem to have grasped that, by the Prime Minister’s own admission, the United Kingdom is now entitled to take defensive action against the launch of missiles and drones aimed at us. We are, in effect, in precisely the same position as the United States. The Prime Minister said his reason originally for not allowing Fairford or even Diego Garcia to be used, was that would constitute for him a breach of international law, because it would be us condoning an offensive operation. However, he's changed his position on this because of attacks on allies and on a UK base, and that means now that he is authorising the Americans to act in defence by taking out those kind of missiles that would attack us. Surely that now means that the UK Armed Forces, in this case the Royal Air Force, could now be used by the Government in no breach of international law in a defensive action to take out those missiles as well.
