Thank you @ZackPolanski for being our voice. So many of us have watched in horror, feeling utterly powerless as our government continued to offer Israel arms and diplomatic support. To hear you speak with such courage, clarity and humanity means more than you know. 💚

It started with making an organisation opposing mass murder illegal. Then they made objecting to that illegal. Now objecting to the fact that it's illegal is illegal.
Apparently, it's illegal to even mention it. 👇

Folks, be careful when you draw for a breath, as it could lead to you being arrested. Our advice is to calculate the length of the sentence you're about to say, measure the oxygen levels remaining in your lungs, and breathe strategically, taking care not to stop at a part of the sentence that could lead to your arrest under the terrorism act.

Outside the Supreme Court, where the Palestine Action appeal hearing closed for the day, a man was arrested for saying, "In the UK, it's a crime to say, I support Palestine Action".
Police reportedly said it was due to the length of the pause between "crime to say" and "I support.."

We've gone from "supporting Palestine Action is criminal" to "opposing the proscription of Palestine Action is criminal" without any new laws being passed.
It should worry anyone when opposing government decisions has been made an arrestable offence.
This is the statement issued by the Met Police about the Defend Our Juries demonstration today. Commander Adam Slonecki, from Scotland Yard, said: “All those intending on coming to this event know that supporting a proscribed organisation is unlawful – they are essentially meeting to purposefully commit a crime.” This is a remarkable contrual of the law and extent of police powers. Surely it cannot be right that someone protesting against the Government’s decision to proscribe an organisation is automatically interpreted by the Met Police as supporting that organisation and is therefore committing an arrest-able offence. This is especially the case when the proscription is being challenged in the courts. I believe the government and parliament made the wrong decision in proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation and I continue to call for its deproscription by the government. If the people turning up today to demonstrate against the proscription of Palestine Action are to be arrested for simply turning up, are we all to be criminalised for suggesting the government got this wrong?

crazy that labour said they’d got it wrong and then decided to just carry on getting it wrong.

WHILE Andy Burnham instructs the police to shove people like Margaret Owen OBE, a 94 year old Jewish humanitarian who has given decades of service to her country, into the back of a police van - the Labour Party is telling you that Zack Polanski, the only Jewish leader of a political party, is making the streets less safe for British Jews.
you genuinely couldn't write a fictional dystopian script that was simultaneously as anti-Palestinian, Islamophobic and antisemitic as the absurd course the UK has taken in order to protect Israeli weapons companies with the blood of generations of Palestinians on their hands.
how long will the British public allow this to go on? these are our streets. they don't belong to Andy Burnham. they don't belong to the police. and they certainly don't belong to Israel.
lift the ban on Palestine Action.

BREAKING: Peaceful protestors are being arrested AGAIN.
The arrests of grandparents, teenagers and everyone in between for peacefully holding signs are a truly SHAMEFUL attack on our freedom of speech.
Peaceful protests are one of the best ways we have to make the government listen to us.
The Foreign Secretary has said that the government never meant to treat elderly people, vicars and grandmothers as criminals. Even the Home Secretary has said that some of these arrests make her uncomfortable.

The image of a 94 year old woman being arrested in London yesterday for holding up a piece of cardboard says it all about what a crazy and repressive country we're now living in.Tone deaf Likud Labour instigate this whilst supporting genocidal Israeli child murderers. It's sick!
