At the same
time as the International Criminal Court has, at last, issued arrest warrants
for Israel’s war criminals, Netanyahu and Gallant, the British Police are doing
their best to attack Palestine solidarity activists and clamp down on free
speech on Palestine.
All with
the complicity of Keir Starmer and Richard Hermer, the Zionist Attorney General
and his deputy, arch Zionist and former Vice President of the Jewish Labour
Movement, Sarah Sackman, who have authorised the Police’s attack on Palestine activists
The Police
have consciously targeted journalists who are not part of the mainstream
prostitute media, stealing their equipment and imposing bail conditions aimed
at preventing them working.
The mass
media – from the right-wing Daily Mail to
the ‘liberal’ Guardian Independent have kept quiet about this attack on basic
democratic rights. Despite being invited to send a speaker, Liberty (the former NCCL) chose not to
respond. It seems attacks on Palestine activists doesn’t fit with their
definition of civil liberties. The Overton Window is getting narrower and
narrower.
Natalie Strecker - Jersey Palestine Activist
The meeting
tonight, which was chaired by Asim Quereshi from Cage, started off with a recorded message
from Natalie Strecker, a peace activist from Jersey in the Channel Islands.
Natalie was unable to speak directly to the meeting because of the stringent
bail conditions imposed. Her local paper, the Jersey
Post, puts the ‘liberal’ media to shame with its forthright defence of
free speech.
Andrew Feinstein - former ANC MP
Andrew
Feinstein, the former ANC MP, was the first speaker who drew the parallels
between the fight against apartheid in South Africa and today’s fight against
apartheid Israel.
Sarah Wilkinson
Andrew
pointed out that the use of the term ‘terrorist’ is nothing new. The ANC and its
leader, Nelson Mandela, were also branded as terrorists by Thatcher and Reagan.
Andrew told us how Thatcher had told the South Africa authorities that it would
be best to murder Mandela in prison rather than allow him his freedom.
Asa Winstanley
There were
a whole range of speakers tonight. Asa
Winstanley from Electronic Intifada whose home was raided and equipment stolen.
Sarah Wilkinson, whose home was trashed and who was effectively kidnapped by
the anti-terrorist police. At one time she feared she was going to be killed. Richard Medhurst, a journalist based in The
Netherlands was the last to speak about his experiences.
Clare Rogers
Clare
Rogers spoke from the Filton 10, a group of Palestine Actionists who put out of
operation an Elbit research and development factory in Bristol which
manufactured equipment like the Quad Copters that have killed so many children.
The 10 who took part were kept in solitary confinement for a week, as if they
were terrorists but despite that are being charged with non-terrorist offences.
Huda Ammori from Palestine Action
Huda spoke
from Palestine Action and Les Levidow spoke from the Campaign Against
Criminalising Communities.
370 people
attended the webinar and over 600 registered for it.
I hope you
enjoy it! Let’s begin the fightback
against those who make criminals of those who oppose genocide and the Police
who support those profiting from the deaths of thousands of children.
