UK judge sentences Pro‑Palestine activists as 'terrorists' over arms‑factory damage
What they're doing to Palestine Action is truly wretched stuff man. Principled direct action against a Genocide is what leads to endless punishment and imprisonment while the bastards that fund, enable, defend, justify, and enact the genocide are all protected and coddled. It's sickening shit.
Rosecrucian Roeth10The wealthy don't like to be told that they are the criminals, they're too elitist to understand.
Cyril8Starmer is a zionist stooge. He's a disgusting man,if you can call him that.
IAM🇨🇦7🤔 Doesn't this sound like what the fukin Nazis did... And had the backing of others.. That's some fuked up shit...
HipCat7It’s a law of nature that if you forbid non violent demonstration, you get the other sort of protest. The sort that isn’t non violent, that doesn’t line up, behave, implore, argue, discuss or try for change through legal means. Those who punish lawful protest unleash their nightmares upon society.
Bill Ebrill2Palestine Action are a front for Hamas and the Iranian regime. In their tactics they don’t give a s**t about real Palestinians who deserve their nation state. Iran will NEVER allow the Palestinians have statehood.
BobbyMax7162Jerry Seinfeld says Palestine doesn't exist. Wonder if those 30,000 dead people existed .... Oh wait we have video and first hand accounts from doctors and nurses.
interesting Last year Mr Justice Johnson granted an early release from jail for far-right Zionist extremist Tommy Robinson. But he's just sentenced four Palestine Action activists as terrorists, even tho they were never prosecuted for terrorism 👇 Conflict of interest www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
jellyshot.bsky.social10Given that Israel has lost their war propaganda campaign and a huge amount of support amongst the populations of Western countries all Israel has left is to lobby governments to use state repression to shut down pro-Palestine voices.
Môr Leidr7How was this even allowed? I don’t understand how it was legal
Karen (yes, yes, I know😈)5Everything I’ve been reading about the UK judges recently leads me to believe that unless you are a white male you will not get any justice😡😡
🇬🇧 “A London judge sentenced 4 Palestine Action activists to several years in prison for acting as ‘terrorists’ when they raided an Israeli defense factory and smashed equipment to disrupt production of weapons they feared would kill people in Gaza...” www.commondreams.org/news/palesti...
baja-hacker.bsky.social32Sabotaging weapons is the literal opposite of terrorism
Dr Sally19Except it’s not terrorism is it🤷♀️
Aviendha69 🦋🍁 🇨🇦 | ᑐ ∪ ∩ ⊂13looks like self-defense to me. but the English sure do love their genocides. lucrative business.
Tom From Minneapolis10That judge needs to look up the definition of terrorism because this ain't it
Brett8Genocide is fine. Having a problem with genocide gets you prison time. And we're all supposed to pretend this makes sense, even though it's blatant proof our politicians and courts are corrupted.
Sheriff of Nothing2He ruled that there appeared to be a terrorist connection to the offences, though the protest had occurred before Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation. He ruled that the jury could not be told of this finding…
Today a judge ruled that four Palestine Action activists should be sentenced as terrorists, despite the jury that heard their trial thinking they were on trial for lesser charges relating to criminal damage. This is unprecedented. Anandita Abraham reports for the Nerve.
Helen harrison (NOT the MP)8Disgusting...this was peaceful protest.. and yet Farage is allowed to whip up hatred with the results as seen in southampton...this country has gone mad since Brexit... #ToriesGone707 #HopeNotHate #RejoinEU #NeverVoteReform
Richard Blogger3A sledge hammer welding thug fractures the spine of a police officer and that's not serious? We have one teir justice, and two teir "journalism"
We were honoured to be joined by Journalist & Activist, Andrey X, at yesterday’s peaceful signholding vigil. More than 100 people were arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding signs displaying the words “Saving lives is not terrorism - I support Palestine Action”
Defend Our Juries24This peaceful action took place outside Woolwich Crown Court during the sentencing of four young people who had taken direct action to dismantle weapons of genocide in an Israeli factory on UK soil. The four were sentenced to more than 26 years in prison between them.
1RGary 🇨🇦3Absolutely disgusting that laws punish people for standing against genocide. The UK needs to stop sucking Israel's dick. It's gotta taste bitter by now.
Ellie 🇨🇦2I follow Andrei on IG. He’s incredible in his activism on the West Bank with Palestinians. Being Jewish lends him a fearless credibility. That he went to the UK to support Palestine Action is inspirational to the global Free Palestine movement.
David Nice2So pleased to see Andrey X again. Had rather lost sight of him. Gives further dignity to this horrible injustice.
Have been very critical of the Palestine Action proscription and remain so, but not keen on the way people have been skirting around the reason for one of the recent convictions
Julianna 💎61Doing it for a good cause does not, in fact, give you a get out of jail free card for doing harm to another person
Wrath of God Bot26My conclusion is that if being jailed for 7 years and 8 months for attacking someone with a sledgehammer is an unusually harsh sentence perhaps the issue here is we do not sentence people harshly enough who attack people with sledgehammers
DBurx13Indeed, where individuals have done vandalism or criminal damage or assault, they should be punished. It's the proscription & restraint on speech and protest that are outrageous. It's the blurring of the distinction, either way, that is bad.
Left Outside6Lots of people think you're allowed to attack women with sledgehammers if you do it wokely.
James Austin4I do not believe they were saving lives either, frankly.
