REVEALED: Jewish activists @JAZA_UK have shown us material from inside an Israeli property event in London yesterday, which shows that illegal settlements on Palestinian land were on sale in the UK.
Activists gained access to the event, spoke to numerous developers about the properties for sale in Israeli settlements - which are illegal under British and international law - before they were ejected for disrupting the speeches.
The Board of Deputies, which calls itself a representational body for British Jews, claimed that all properties being sold were inside Israel, however these pamphlets clearly show the opposite is true.

No, I preach politics like “stop murdering Palestinian kids”.
Oh: and “don’t attack pensioners and disabled people.”
You’re a glorified internet troll serving in one of the most despised governments in history.
I’m being told to grow up by the one man child who continues to preach student politics. Let’s face it, everything you do is aimed at outrage in a bid to make money - get a real job.

The Lady Chief Justice went to private school and Cambridge University but apparently has zero knowledge of history.

The Lady Chief Justice said proscription of Palestine Action “struck a fair balance” and that PA is not a peaceful civil disobedience group like the Suffragettes

This is absolutely insane.
The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action.
They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries.
They killed five people!
Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.
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.

There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it.
I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it.
This needs to be escalated immediately.
ALT ALT TEXT: During Mayor's Question Time last week I asked you to put pressure on the government to ban the “unlawful” ‘Great Israeli Real Estate.’ You clarified that you had discussed the event with the Metropolitan Police Service and stated that any allegations of criminality relating to the potentially unlawful sale of property at the event would be assessed by the Met as part of an investigation. It has since come to light that materials handed out at the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event included properties in Ma'Ale Adumin and Givat Zeev in the West Bank and Ramat Eshkol and Givat HaMatos in East Jerusalem. These settlements are illegal under international law. This event should never have been allowed to happen in our city. There was substantial evidence ahead of the event that organisers were advertising properties in illegal settlements. More than 100 organisations, including human rights groups, as well as over 100 MPs called for the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event t

"Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?"
This from a Labour government minister. We are in very, very dark times.

Soaring bills. Burst pipes. Sewage in our rivers and seas.
How many more times do we need to say it: the privatisation of water has been a total and utter failure. Bring it back into public ownership, now.

It is beyond disgraceful that the 'Great Israeli Real Estate' event was allowed to go ahead.
Once again, the government has exposed its flagrant contempt for international law as well as its shameful complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation.

Among much utter mince uttered by the English Court of Appeal today.
Lady Chief Justice Carr said that the suffragettes were non-violent and did not plan any actions in secret.
Which is so ignorant of history I don't know where to start...

The more I think about this, the more shocking it gets.
A government minister asked a political opponent a question, knowing that if he answered "yes", he would be arrested and potentially imprisoned.
That's thanks to his government's unhinged law.
It is so disturbing!

This Governments branding of protest as 'terrorism' has seen grandparents arrested and dragged through the courts simply for holding up signs.
It's deeply authoritarian when people are speaking out against a genocide and for a free Palestine.

Today the Court of Appeal upheld the Labour government’s proscription of Palestine Action by saying they aren’t a peaceful civil disobedience group like the suffragettes and that Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is "a company pursuing a lawful business."
The suffragettes bombed the Chancellor's house, planted a bomb outside the Bank of England, burned down churches and train stations, and smashed up art galleries.
Palestine Action destroyed drones used to kill Palestinians in Gaza because Elbit's “lawful business” is arming a genocide.
The British state is rewriting history and dismantling our legal system to protect Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

Today’s ruling to uphold the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action is a travesty of justice.
One by one, the very foundations of our democracy are being destroyed — all to oil the wheels of British complicity in genocide.
Our government has participated in the mass murder of Palestinians. That is the real crime, and we must bring about justice.

Parliament should reverse the decision to proscribe Palestine Action urgently before we see large numbers of elderly people in particular being dragged before our courts. Classifying protest through direct action as terrorism brings Parliament & our judicial system into disrepute

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.

🚨 BREAKING: Lebanon files UN Security Council complaint accusing I$rael of violating the Chemical Weapons Convention in the south
Lab tests from Aita al-Shaab, Naqoura, and Dhaira confirmed catastrophic levels of Glyphosate—a cancer-linked chemical—in agricultural soil.
Normal farming levels would show 0.5 to 2 mcg/g but tests on soil in South Lebanon show 22,750 mcg/g, 11,000 times above safe levels
It has been labeled by some as a deliberate war crime designed to permanently destroy arable border lands.
Here is our report from the scene filmed in February
Feb 7
I$rael once again sprayed cancer-linked chemicals on agricultural land in south Lebanon on Friday, an act condemned as a war crime and a bid to make the border region uninhabitable
