@Jonathan_K_Cook If you think that something is happening in another country isn't to your liking, then it's OK for you to destroy any British property or harm any British individual you want?

In upholding the proscription of Palestine Action, Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr showed she was historically illiterate. Contrary to her claims, the Sufragettes were neither a peaceful civil disobedience group nor did they operate "transparently in the open". Their hundreds of bombing and arson attacks are known to have injured at least two dozen people, many of them postal workers, left with severe burns. Their bomb and arson squads organised this violence through underground cells. Leaders were kept in a network of safe houses to avoid discovery by police. And leader Emmeline Pankhurst used body doubles and assumed names to evade police capture. There's even a 2015 Hollywood movie, Sufragette, showing all this. This sudden level of ignorance by our political and judicial class is entirely manufactured. The Sufragette movement was far, far more violent and clandestine than anything Palestine Action has been doing. That's not an argument against the Suffragettes. It's argument exposing the utter hypocrisy of the politicians, judges and media peddling lies to justify crushing an organisation trying to expose UK government complicity in Israel's genocide.

@PolitlcsUK Fantastic! The rule of law still exists in the UK.

The judge sentenced all four activists as terrorists Samuel Corner, 23, was jailed for 8 years and 8 months for grievous bodily harm and criminal damage Charlotte Head, 30, and Leona Kamio, 30, were jailed for 6 years and 45 days for criminal damage Fatema Rajwani, 21, was jailed for 5 years and 8 months for causing criminal damage

🚨 BREAKING: Four Palestine Action activists have been jailed for a total of 22 years for causing £1.2m worth of damage and fracturing a police woman's spine at an Israeli weapons factory

@doctor_rahmeh Thanks to her I have seen a lot of evidence of just how insane you pro-Hamas armchair warriors are.

This is Heidi Bachram. She often complains about being 'scared', 'intimidated', and outright 'terrified' of anti‑zionist protests and activists. Here she is filming the protesters today, very close to the action, outside the illegal land sale at Edgware United Synagogue.

@ClimateWarrior7 If you want to carry out acts of war, then do it in Israel. In the UK it is against the law to destroy other people's property. It's even against the law to fracture womens' spines with sledgehammers.

Instead of building 680 rockets, Musk could have built thousands of high-rise tower blocks for free housing of refugees. Why didn't he do this? The answer is linked to his extreme far-right ideology.

@BriannaWu He is actually trying to make a living as a comedian.

I want to publicly apologize again for ever being part of the insanely stupid progressive political project.

@tC7_2_235 @HawkEmDownChris Really? If he is then that leaves a helluva lot of great players, judging by the standards he set.

Who’s the most overrated MLB player of all time?

@wbbmayer Yes and Shohei Ohtani strikes out a lot.

Caitlin Clark still averages more turnovers in wins than in losses 😂 In wins: 5.1 TO per game | 7 wins In losses: 3.6 TO per game | 5 losses Fever FC, bring on the turnovers 😉

@Jonathan_K_Cook Well why don't you go over to Gaza and fight if you think violence is the way to get what you want over there.

Palestine Action is in good company. British governments and courts criminalised resistance to slavery, the Chartist movement for universal male suffrage, any organising by trade unionists, and the Suffragette movement to win women the vote. None of our rights were given to us by the ruling class. We had to fight for each of them tooth and nail. The British establishment is always on the wrong side of history, because history is with the struggle of ordinary people, not with the selfish interests of the billionaires and war industries. Those earlier struggles were deemed the terrorism of their day by the very same "liberals" – the British establishment and its useful idiots – who today declare any practical action to stop British complicity in Israel's genocide to be terrorism. Note too as proof of bad faith: the British establishment is well advanced in its efforts to declare entirely peaceful protest – marches through the streets – as anti-social, hate crimes and soon enough terrorism too. The ruling class consider attempts to stop a genocide, even holding a banner against the mass murder of children, to be far worse than racist pogroms in Belfast, which try to burn alive people in their homes because of the colour of their skin.

@TheDryhtscipe If you think that arson is merely civil disobedience, then you need to read your Ghandi, MLK and Thoreau.

@grahamformaine You know what that $300 million is going to talk about? Nothing but your own words and actions.

Their plan: Spend $300 million to buy Susan Collins a sixth term. My plan: Defeat them, then ban billionaires from buying elections.

@compliantvc Can't? Or doesn't want to? Even European governments realize that taxing unrealized gains is unfair and futile.

SpaceX stock is up $100 billion today In one day. And you're telling me Elon Musk can't pay a $100 billion annual wealth tax to the European Union? It's literally just one day of wages for him. Tax Elon Musk NOW.

@compliantvc @ChrisTidwellMS But thanks a lot for confirming that you don't get economics.

@ChrisTidwellMS Wealth redistribution is smart! The capitalist fisherman is clearly hogging all the fish

@compliantvc @ChrisTidwellMS No the point it that the socialist guy is STEALING the fish he put no effort into catching.

@pawelwargan You left out the part where a Chinese citizen has no civl rights.

For those curious to learn more, I co-wrote a piece setting out how part of that process looked in practice and what it achieved. The West has nothing even remotely comparable. progressive.international/blueprint/cb7d…

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

@pawelwargan You think things are bad now? Wait til you see what socialism does. Read a book. A history book. About socialism.

@andrewfeinstein Mommy what's a pacifist? It's a person who breaks a woman's spine with a sledgehammer.

@WolfgangRichtEU Where did you get the idea that $150 billion could solve all those problems? Are all the other EU bureaucrats as stupid as you?

I see a lot of uninformed and incorrect arguments against my post. But I am not alone in being critical of Musk. All the best, Wolfgang x.com/i/status/20659…

Elon Musk has become a trillionaire. If we confiscated just 15% of his wealth we could: clean up all the oceans, eliminate poverty, and literally make the world into a utopia. Instead he chooses to indulge in his phallic obsession with rockets and wants to build data centers in space. You cant even move electricity from space to earth. Dumbest idea ever. All the best, Wolfgang

@WolfgangRichtEU If you think that $150 billion could solve those problems then you need to go back to school and learn arithmetic.

@EastBerkspsc I have to give you some credit. You just come out front with your antisemitism.

Now in Edgware. We are I fear attack from hundreds of genocide supporters

@sahmetkiz It comes from a time when it was a British colony called Palestine.

This manhole in Haifa is older than the state of Israel 😆
