Looks like the Board Of Deputies should apologize for this denial below and the fake ‘refutation’. news.sky.com/story/homes-in-…
We are deeply disturbed at the wholly unjustified protest called for this morning outside a synagogue. We are calling on the police to ensure such protests are kept a significant distance from places of worship to prevent intimidation to members of the Jewish community.

A standing ovation for anti-genocide activists charged with hurting the feelings of weapons parts.
Sie drangen in den deutschen 🇩🇪 Standort des israelischen 🇮🇱 Waffenherstellers Elbit Systems ein und zerstörten die Technik vor Ort. Elbit Systems Rüstungsgüter wurden beim Genozid in Gaza genutzt. Dafür stehen fünf Aktivisten, Ulm5 genannt, nun vor Gericht. Der Saal jubelt. x.com/hebh_jamal/status/2066…

Hi @BoardofDeputies, You said our peaceful protest was trying to ‘harass and intimidate’ Jews and that the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Fair’ wasn’t marketing land in illegal Israeli settlements. So, we’re setting the record straight. ➡️ WATCH HERE: instagram.com/reel/DZpGlOAsd…

The head of Met Police must resign: Allowed a sale in a synagogue to proceed when there was clear evidence it was illegal. Claimed to have investigated the event, was this a lie? Arresting protesters trying to stop the event, in order to allow an illegal sale of Palestinian land
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.

Here's some two-tier policing for you. Yesterday, the police were protecting the illegal sale of stolen Palestinian land at an Israeli property show held inside a synagogue. Today, they were arresting and carting off pensioners holding signs under terrorism laws.

Some of those women gave everything so you could sit in that chair, and you repay them by rewriting and erasing their stories, to give cover for genocide. Absolutely pathetic.
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.

With a steady voice despite her arrest, this British girl exposed what is happening in London: They assaulted us, spread hate speech, and when we exposed them for auctioning off West Bank land, the response was to arrest us, not the aggressors!

It is now verified that the event was marketing properties in illegal settlements. I presume you will now be retracting this statement, apologising, and condemning the synague for hosting the event.

After a lifelong career in "justice," all these people have ended up doing is the government's dirty political work to cover up for a genocide. I feel like I've just watched two court cases which were nothing more than pre-decided political theatre.

So is the British government now going to lock 3000 grannies up for 14 years in prison? Seems absolutely deranged.

"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.
Do you support the Palestine Action group?

This is wrong on the suffragettes but it's also wrong on Palestine Action. The court said Palestine Action acted covertly. But Pal Action operated very much in the public domain, sharing videos and content. They had a Twitter and Instagram account! It's founders Huda Ammori and Richard Barnard were known and widely interviewed about how they operated. In July 2024 Prospect had a profile of them both called "How to shut down a weapons factory." Pal Action contributed op-eds and actionists were widely interviewed (often after they were acquitted, like the Elbit 3 were in 2021). It's only true inasmuch as they didn't broadcast their targets ahead of time because that would lead to them being stopped. Duh, of course not. Did the suffragettes publish pamphlets ahead of time saying where they were going to smash windows and chain themselves to railings? Did the anti-apartheid movement and Lord Peter Hain phone the government to let them know when they were going to invade sports pitches or lock themselves to stadia? As ever, it's hard not to despair at the British judiciary and it's deference to government power. Don't forget it was the same courts that decided it was ok for the UK to send F-35 parts to Israel despite the very clear risk that they contribute to war crimes, saying that it wasn't for the courts to gainsay executive decisions - decisions taken by politicians funded by pro-Israeli donors and taking free all-expenses trips to Israel.

My question for Mike Tapp is whether he thinks someone should be arrested, and charged with terrorism offences, for answering his question by saying "yes".
Do you support the Palestine Action group?

So will you be retracting this now its clear they were lying. Will you condemn the event and the synagogue for hosting it? We know the answer to that dont we. You will use any means to protect Istael for accountability for its crimes and to shield those complicit in supporting those crimes. You are unfit for any public office.
This is not just completely untrue, but it is also dangerous and irresponsible to tell people this. The organisers have denied very strongly that the event involved the sale of land in the West Bank: 'All exhibitors, without exception, will provide information about properties and projects within the Green Line' He should withdraw this immediately. jewishnews.co.uk/foreign-sec…

"This government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to Islamic State or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. Frankly I'm deeply ashamed" Labour peer Peter Hain in the Lords in July last year
