The First Trial of the Filton 24 Draws To A Close with Directions from the Judge that Genocide is no Excuse for Criminal Damage

 Do Not Forget the Hunger Strikers, 3 of Whom Are Dying as Lammy & Starmer Join the US's Narcissist-in-Chief in Destroying International Law 

Tony Greenstein Speech at Trial of Filton 24 at Woolwich Crown Court 9 January 2026 

Last Friday I went to the demonstration outside Woolwich Crown Court. Inside the trial of the first 6 of the Filton 24 was drawing to a close. The Jury should be going out today. There is a good report of the trial from Real Media here.

Not surprisingly there was a heavy police presence but despite the bitter cold there were about 100 protestors there. It was a lively demonstration and made a lot of noise with food and tea/coffee provided.

There were a wide range of speakers, including a Christian Vicar who got us all singing along and I spoke on behalf of Jewish Network for Palestine.

We are living in an age of imperialism and authoritarianism. War abroad is accompanied by repression at home and the trial of the Filton 24 is a good example of this. Their only crime is doing their best to stop the Genocide but according to the judge Mr Injustice Johnson, trying to prevent Genocide is no excuse for criminal damage. British Judges are probably the most amoral part of British society after Keir Starmer and this government.

There are going to be 3 more trials and we face the prospect of the hunger strikers dying whilst war criminals Starmer and Lammy look on by, demonstrating their callous indifference to the possible death of 3 young people as they demonstrate their loyalty to Zionism.

This ‘Labour’ Government has no shame at all. All the hunger strikers are unconvicted and but for false allegations of a terrorism connection would already have been released on bail. ‘Terrorism’ is the go to allegation as ‘terrorism’ becomes the catch-all smear made against direct action protesters.

If anything is a good example of terrorism it is piracy on the high seas and the boarding of ships by the United States yet that was what happened this week with the complicity of the British navy thanks to Britain’s most unpopular Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.

Below is an Open Letter from the Lemkin Institute to Keir Starmer calling for him to intervene to prevent the deaths of the hunger strikers. The Institute is named after Raphael Lemkin, (1900–1959) who was a Polish-Jewish lawyer and linguist who coined the term "genocide" in 1944 and campaigned tirelessly to make it an international crime.

Lemkin is known as the "father" of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention and personally lobbied the United Nations to adopt the convention.

Let us keep the pressure up on the war criminals who rule us and the British state.
