A reminder that are around 10000 Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, most without charge or trial. A % of those are children. This is a carte blanche to execute all of them.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

The proscription order remains in place pending an appeal. Until further legal proceedings are complete, it remains a criminal offence to support or promote Palestine Action.

The High Court has ruled that the banning of Palestine Action was unlawful. Bart Cammaerts of @lsemedia.bsky.social previously argued that the ban risked feeding radicalisation and distrust in democracy. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Banning Palestine Action risks feeding radicalisation and distrust in democracy | LSE British Politics

Proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is part of a broader authoritarian turn and an unwillingness to tolerate protest and dissent.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

I've got a new article out in Political Theology. There are 50 free e-copies if anyone wants to read about Mystical Counter-Conducts and Post-anarchism Today: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/UKBN2...

Mystical Counter-Conducts and Post-Anarchism Today

My argument, in this article, is for the role that mysticism can play in the elaboration of contemporary forms of counter-conduct that might contribute to the production of anarchistic alternatives...

Trump’s desire to label ‘antifa’ as a ‘terrorist organization’ is not only important in the US: it has already inspired the same designation in the Netherlands and Hungary. Unfortunately more countries are likely to follow. #NoPasarán

Cas Mudde@casmudde.bsky.social · last yr.

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization. This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

"But what happens to our economy when growth itself is increasingly hard to come by? What happens to our politics when we have no policies for a post-growth world? ... And what happens to our science when such questions are deemed to be outside the remit of inquiry?" - @timjackson.org.uk

Thank you to everyone in Illinois who stood up to ICE mercenaries today. This is what it will take—to put our own bodies and freedom on the line in order to make every action they take as difficult as possible. crimethinc.com/zines/seven-... It is, in fact, our own freedom on the line.

ICE is turning around now, escorted by Broadview police. Crowd is jubilant. Someone is shouting, "this is what it takes! They are turning around!"

“By designating the group as terrorists, the government has sent a clear message to investors and industry partners: we are open for business!” This article on how the proscription of PA fits in with the government's wider economic plans is very good. toucheachother.substack.com/p/on-proscri...

On Proscribing Palestine Action

In criminalising Palestine Action, the government is not only suppressing a political message but also protecting the economic and industrial interests tied to its defence strategy.

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.

madoc cairns@madoc.bsky.social · last yr.

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.
