Hopefully more follow than the initial 4
Yeah, well done Ireland, Spain, Netherlands and Slovenia. Hope more follow, till it's just the UK and Israel (coz there is zero chance that we would boycott it for this reason). Would love it to fall apart, with half of the countries pulling out (this is very unlikely).

I will stage my own, pointless boycott and not watch it while Israel is in it. And possibly even if Israel isn't in it.

Most of the hunger strikers end the strike after the UK chooses not to give a £2BN contract to Elbit Systems. One will continue. Not all their demands were met (that would never have happened), perhaps a reasonable outcome.

I have complete confidence that Gaza will be rebuilt and handed back to the Palestinians now that Blair and Kushner are on Trump's board.

Ah, how the government would love to get rid of jury trials (and are working towards that).

A police woman got her back broken in that incident. I can condone political violence.

Apart from that (no point in going into it without the evidence seen at the trial), what do you think? ie about the other 5 defendants?

C4 news showed the incident, the striking with the sledge hammer was unnecessary and should not have happened, should be charged separately

Eibit support genocide all other defendants are not guilty of anything, they are in fact heroes

What in the actual fuck is their justification for doing that? Normally Israel have some kind of bullshit rationale for why what they're doing is actually defensive and peaceful, but I'm struggling to work out what the spin for "spraying weedkiller on a neighbouring nation's farms" would be. Were they terrorist olives?

They'd like a no man's land in south Lebanon. So they're doing it. Who's going to stop them? Who will even criticize them?

Lucky they're not using anthrax.

Palestine Action proscription ruled unlawful . . . but will remain in effect to give the Government a chance to appeal.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... udges-rule
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/liv ... ction-live

I suspect the decision will be overturned on appeal but this is better news than expected.

If only there were consequences for a government that acted unlawfully.
