The Parliamentary vote is tomorrow on Yvette Cooper's draft order to proscribe Palestine Action, the direct action organisation:

Some nodding dogs in the Labour and tory parties, and parts of the right wing press, but almost universal anger and opposition from most other directions - including inside the civil service, in parts of the Labour and other parties, from civil liberties and human rights organisations and activists, and even prominent opinion pieces in sections of the right wing media.

Simon Heffer in the Telegraph: 'Palestine Action are not terrorists. The RAF is just grossly incompetent.' (you would have to register to read the full article - I'm not doing that).

Palestine Action members have never been accused, let alone convicted, of any violent offence. They use direct action - often vandalism, graffiti and occupation - to target the arms supply chain to Israel (especially the suppliers and bankers for Elbit Systems, Israel's biggest arms company) and highlight the ongoing war crimes, mass civilian murder and genocide in Gaza.

They have been effective in publicising the issue. They have become a target for the various Israel/Zionist lobbying organisations in the UK - from the Israeli Embassy to MP Luke Akehurst's (Zionist Shitlord - his words) 'We Believe In Israel' and going through the Conservative Friends Of Israel and Labour Friends Of Israel (Yvette Cooper a member as are half the Cabinet).

If they cause criminal damage there are laws in place to use for prosecution - and that has happened frequently. To define the organisation and its supporters as terrorist is madness - it is Trump-style authoritarianism and has no place in a liberal democracy. Meanwhile the real terrorists have shot dead more than a hundred Palestinians desperate for food in the last day!
