Even if a person doesn't give a sh*t about the genocide in Gaza, can't they see how this weaponization of "justice" could be used against them personally, or against any of us? That fact alone should have the public screaming. Sadly, the majority remain blissfully unaware...

I keep thinking "this has to stop". Sadly, I have been thinking that since I found out about the Nakba, 30 years ago.

This begs the question, who is it in the establishment who who wants the defendants to face terrorism charges? Whoever it is, they are absolutely determined to shut down all actions in favour of Palestine and ensure that Israel receives weapons, thus ensuring that the genocide continues. Is it someone or group in the weapons industry who see their profits affected, or is it a powerful Zionist or Zionists who see the expansion of the Zionist State under threat?

Whoever it is, is controlling our government via a malevolent force of some sort, otherwise Israel's deliberate murder/genocide of more than seventy thousand Palestinians including at least twenty thousand children and babies, would surely have resulted in our complete withdrawal of support for this lunatic State.

With regard to judges threatening defendants, with terrorism sentences. If as a result of a defendant explaining their motives to a jury they are found not guilty, the threats will amount to nothing.

The UK is now clearly a fascist, authoritarian state. It's time for the population to take to the streets.

Horrifying and action needs to be taken against the Judge; the law against the draconian, illegal, biased law!

Those who remember the Troubles will not be surprised by any of this.

Those who understand that the UK is run by "zionists" will not be surprised by any of this.

Why there is a farce of a trial held? What a system of justice in a democracy!

And they have a newly un-elected Prime Minister in Andy Burnham, who refuses to call Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide, and who has thus far allowed these sham trials to continue. Another puppet.
