These brave women came to senate estimates to demand, for once, the violence of the Israeli state was acknowledged in Canberra. They came back yesterday and forced the government to start an AFP investigation into the assaults on them. Courage. Solidarity. 🕊️ 🇵🇸

The difference between Palestine Action the suffragettes is that the Suffragettes made and used bombs. Palestine Action sought to disable arms factories producing weapons used by Israel in its genocide of Gaza. Curiously, the suffragettes described THEMSELVES as terrorists. Pankhurst stated that the suffragettes committed violent acts because they wanted to "terrorise the British public"
Replying to @harriepw
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

I have been asked repeatedly this week whether Lebanon will actually be included in any potential memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States. My answer remains the same, and it always will. Despite Iran's efforts and genuine intentions to see an end to Israeli terrorism on Lebanese soil, I am a southern Lebanese woman from Khiam. I lived through the reality of occupation, aggression, and war firsthand. I have also spent years studying the history of an entity born from supremacy, colonialism, dispossession, and theft. The more I witness and learn about its genocidal tendencies and terrorism, the less faith I place in any signed document between any two governments that believe they can somehow restrain or control this cancerous project of terrorism. I see no lasting peace emerging from pieces of paper. I see the same pattern that history has shown us for decades: wars, massacres, invasions, and, inevitably, Resistance. If history has taught us anything, it is that no agreement, resolution, or signature ever stopped Zionists from killing, occupying, or stealing. What stopped them were the costs imposed on them. What forced them to retreat was bullets, Katyushas, Kornets, missiles and FPVs... only Resistance. That is why my trust has never been in signed papers. My trust lies in the ability of people to defend themselves, their land, and their dignity. And that is where it will remain.

Painting of Rania with her beloved twin babies, Wesan & Naeem, in burial shrouds - by Irish artist and activist Anne-Marie Farrell. Rania waited for them for eleven years of infertility, they were her little miracles. At 6 months old they were murdered along with her husband & 11 family members when the IOF bombed the Al-Salam neighborhood in Rafah, Gaza Strip, on March 3 2024. I have no words to describe the loss this mother, endured... her entire world decimated in a second like so many.

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial. Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

The sentences handed to four young activists for taking direct action at an Israeli arms factory are completely disproportionate and wrong. They've been sentenced for a "terrorist connection" they were never charged with. A clear miscarriage of justice and dangerous precedent.

BREAKING: Justice Jeremy Johnson has ruled that the Filton 4 will be sentenced as terrorists – even though two juries refused to convict them of violence charges over their efforts to disable an Israeli factory in the UK making killer drones for use in Gaza. They were found guilty of a minor charge of criminal damage. Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property. It's a very dark moment in an increasingly authoritarian Britain. Thousands of legal professionals complained about Johnson's clear abuses of legal procedures to help the government's case for proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group. Johnson has now proved this was always a show trial. I explain how he rigged the two trials here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/…

NZ ranks 34th (out of 38 members) in the OECD ranking for lobbying regulation. One of the first things the current govt did was to remove the Parliamentary lobbyist register. Now we have climate, smoking, fishing and banking laws written by the industry.
