Erik van StratenVK fascistisch?Aanstaande maandag besluit de Britse Hoge Raad, of één van de oprichters van Palestine Action, juridisch bezwaar mag maken tegen het besluit van de staatssecretaris van binnenlandse zaken, Yvette Cooper, om Palestine Action te verbieden - omdat het een terroristische organisatie zou zijn (i.v.m. het onrechtmatig betreden van een militair vliegveld en het met verf besmeuren van enkele vliegtuigen - m.i. een onverstandige actie, maar geen terrorisme).Nb. er bestaan serieuze verdenkingen dat het Britse leger Israël actief steunt bij de genocide op Palestijnen en het met de grond gelijkmaken van Gaza, onder meer door het uitvoeren van verkenningsvluchten boven Gaza.Opmerkelijk is ook dat premier Keir Starmer, eerder als advocaat, vergelijkbare "terroristen" verdedigde (zie bijv. <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/keir-starmer-palestine-action-terrorist-protest-b2778270.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/keir-starmer-palestine-action-terrorist-protest-b2778270.html</a>).Voor vandaag zijn er in het VK opnieuw demonstraties aangekondigd tegen het besluit om Palestine Action te verbieden onder een anti-terrorismewet. Naar verwachting zullen weer vele demonstranten door de Britse Politie worden gearresteerd om het uiten van hun mening.Onderstaande screenshot is van een deel van <a href="https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/huda-ammori-v-secretary-of-state-for-the-home-department/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/huda-ammori-v-secretary-of-state-for-the-home-department/</a>. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FrancescaAlbaneseIsRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FrancescaAlbaneseIsRight</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UK</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PalestineAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PalestineAction</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/YvetteCooper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YvetteCooper</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KeirStarrmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KeirStarrmer</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fascisme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fascisme</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/VrijheidVanMeningsUiting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VrijheidVanMeningsUiting</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FreedomOfExpression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreedomOfExpression</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DemonstratieRecht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DemonstratieRecht</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Onderdrukking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Onderdrukking</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Onrecht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Onrecht</a>

Amnesty in Salisbury & South WiltshireBan on Palestine Action confirmed Group loses its case in the High Court and is now proscribedJuly 2025As of today (July 5th) Palestine Action is now a proscribed terrorist organisation. This decision has been widely condemned and is seen as an abuse of legislation introduced to stop far more deadly organisations. The Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, lumped into the order, two other organisations: Maniacs Murder Cult and Russian Imperial Movement, to give MPs little choice but to approve it which they did 385 votes to 26. PA now joins al-Qaeda and ISIS on the list. Local MP, Danny Kruger (E Wilts) voted for the ban. There is no doubt that PA caused damage to the various establishments they raided. Although Cooper and others spoke of violence, no evidence of violence has been produced. This action is of a piece with legislation introduced by the previous government to limit and make protests and demonstrations a lot more difficult. Well, not quite, because it may be noticed that the farmers have been taking their tractors into London and elsewhere and blocked streets and stopped traffic. There is no record of any police action against them nor any arrests having been made. Many have made the point that the activities of PA are covered by existing legislation and indeed, some have been arrested and sentenced after earlier actions using laws already on the statute book. When the terrorism law was introduced about a quarter of a century ago the claim was made then that it would only be used for ‘extreme’ crimes. That seems to have been forgotten. Unfortunately, the legislation is overly broad enabling it to be used in cases like this. The problem has been that juries have not been convinced by government lawyers and have not found against the defendants, hence the need to ban them. Taking them to court for spraying RAF jets stood little chance of a successful conviction now that more people know what dubious activities the RAF are up to and the covert help they are offering the Israelis. The suggestions are that they have carried out over 600 flights over Gaza and that they are refuelling Israeli jets in some of their sorties.What has embarrassed the government is that the group is drawing attention to the government support being offered, not just by the RAF but in allowing <a href="https://www.elbitsystems.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Elbit Systems</a> to continue to make the drones in factories here in the UK, as they claim on their website.People have a right to protest and the list of protest movements who have brought change is a long one. We noted in our last post that the very fact Yvette Cooper is an MP and a minister is as a result of a prolonged period of protest – latterly violent – by the suffragists and the suffragettes. Her action, and the willingness of 385 MPs to vote for the motion is a shameful one. One MP, Nadia Whittome (Lab) said “Hundreds of lawyers have written to the Home Secretary, warning that proscribing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Palestine Action</a> would conflate protest and terrorism. Amnesty International and Liberty have both expressed deep concerns. A senior civil servant has briefed that there is disquiet among <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Office" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Home Office</a> staff about the decision, and has called it “absurd” [HC Deb 2 July c367]. Earlier in the debate she reminded the House of the suffragettes. While the government was busy proscribing Palestine Action, people were still being killed in the food queues and what is believed to be a massive 500 lb bomb was dropped on the al Baqa café in the north. The bomb killed a large numbers of people many of whom were blown to pieces. Around 56,500 have been killed in Gaza.
