What's actually supporting #Palestine more - holding a sign at a rally, or actually quitting using platforms that enable their oppression?
It's not safe to be an activist, journalist, or, often, a minority and use #bigtech platforms

This is genuinely important and good news: as I expected, no British jury is going to convict #PalestineAction activists of non-violent protest.
Of course, this is why the UK government is trying to get rid of jury trials, but ...
Will the proscription of Palestine Action as a 'terrorist organisation'(!) also fall?

Content warning: UKPol Palestine Action Ban Found Unlawful
Palestine Action have never been a terrorist group, have never tried to terrorize the British public. The attempt to classify them as one was unjust, authoritarian, and motivated by support for a foreign state committing war crimes.
I'm mostly just surprised that judges appointed by the British state operating in secret agree. Usually they back the corrupt British state entirely.
Yvette Cooper should be resigning in disgrace, suspected of treachery. Every MP and Lord that waved the proscription through through should be ashamed and probably also fired.

A reminder, Booking.com and other similar platforms offer accommodation in Israel's illegal settler enclaves in the Palestinian occupied territory.
Do what I do. Use booking.com as an accommodation search, then book directly off the platform.

"a model of war that meant one side waging it without risk, the other without hope" — Azmi Bishara, paraphrased by Patrick Wintour.
Loud echoes, for me, of the first opium war. Or the wars waged by European settlers against the indigenous peoples of North America. Or of #Palestine.

"This is the heart of the tragedy. They are all one people, literally one family; cousins. The hatred, the contempt, and now the genocide, arise out of the claim by some to be uniquely their mutual god's chosen people, to be sole inheritors of their common patrimony.
This is the ultimate evidence of blasphemy.
By their fruits shall ye know them."

Israel bulldozes UNRWA headquarters in East Jerusalem and teargases a school in the occupied West Bank.
