Remember that time when world leaders came together in Paris to protest against the killing of the Charlie Hebdo journalists? Nearly 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza, by the man at the front, Netanyahu, and the same leaders are silent about the ongoing Genocide in Gaza.

“The way that we respond to this is by fighting even harder, that every struggle has its setbacks. But we are going to win in the end. We can’t give in. We can’t be deterred” My interview with the Guardian on the Court of Appeal ruling on Palestine Action theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Notice how they can never utter the truth: that the property Palestine Action destroyed was Israeli weapons factories and killer drones.
The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

I will appeal to the Supreme Court and take it up to the European Court of Human Rights, if needs be. However, we clearly can not rely on the legal system which completely stitched up the Filton case, and now the Palestine Action ban. This fight can only be won by the people.

This is not a loss. Palestine Action was so effective in disrupting the Israeli weapons industry, that the state threw all its might at us. By doing so, they've exposed how they prioritise the Zionist regime over its own citizens. As long as we continue to resist, we've won.

Disgraceful decision
BREAKING: The Court of Appeal ruled in the government's favour, stating that the Palestine Action ban is lawful. We will not stop fighting for the ban to be lifted, the end of the use of terror legislation against us, and crucially, for a free Palestine.

The second trial, with eight of the Filton 25, has begun today at the Old Bailey. However, security are denying entry to all the family members and loved ones, demanding they have two forms of ID. This rule has never been used before, and is clearly an intimidation tactic.

Four Palestine Action activists who damaged Israeli military assets including drones will be sentenced for an “act of terrorism”, a judge has ruled. Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona (Ellie) Kamio, 30, and Fatema Rajwani, 21, were found guilty of criminal damage in May after breaking into a factory in Filton, near Bristol, owned by Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit in 2024. Corner was also convicted of grievous bodily harm without intent. Justice Jeremy Johnson told the Woolwich crown court that he found that the defendants “were well aware” of “the aims and strategy of Palestine Action” and that the raid was aimed at “shutting down Elbit and ending what they regarded as British complicity in Israeli war crimes” and to “intimidate it into ceasing operations or cause the government to prevent it from operating”. The destruction of military assets was “one part of a broader and more strategic purpose” to “shut down Elbit” and put “pressure on the government”, he said. He cited the destruction to things which could not be described as weapons including the “smashing of a disabled toilet” and the spraying of paint on the walls. “I am bound by the legislation to find that the offence in each case has a terrorism connection”, he said. Rajwani held her head in her hands as the judge made his remarks. Chants of hundreds of supporters of the activists gathered outside the court complex could be heard from inside the courtroom. Sentencing is expected later today. Details of the military drones damaged in the raid emerged as part of a submission from the prosecution, as it argued that the scale of the damage was significant enough to justify the application of a “terrorist connection” to the direct action group in sentencing. In court, Mira Hammad KC, representing Kamio, referred to the prosecution’s evidence which included a report from an independent forensic consultant who reviewed Elbit’s insurance claim following the raid. His report listed damage to military assets including the “Magni X” drone and multiple “Thor” drones in the “Legion X” and “Helios” configurations. Deanna Heer KC, speaking for the prosecution, argued that the activists wanted to influence the UK government and Israeli government and encouraged the judge to consider the “ideology” of Palestine Action and its “ultimate cause” to “liberate Palestine from Israel”. She pointed to a Palestine Action training manual which referred to Britain’s “imperial” role in the middle east, which she said showed that the raid was not a simple act of crime prevention. Prosecutors estimate that around £1.2m in damage was caused by the activists, including the military assets. The nature and scale of the damage to private property meant that “this is not a protest, freedom of assembly case”, she said. Read the full article: novara.media/44bcB9X

BREAKING: 100 public figures urge Judge Johnson to not sentence four direct action protestors as terrorists. The four were only convicted of criminal damage for destroying Israeli drones, by a jury which was unaware of the potential terrorism sentence. artistsforpalestine.org.uk/p…

Counter terror police stopped and interrogated an independent cafe owner, in order to intimidate him before offering him financial benefits to spy on Palestine Action. Instead of taking the offer, he went public to expose the state. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…
