Manchester Airport: Attempted Arrest Footage! (28.7.2024)

The question is whether the actions of the Police were lawful and legal? The civilian suspects are not innocent and the above footage is damning – doing their cause no good whatsoever. However, even if the behaviour of the suspects was violsnt and threatening, does this mean that the Police can do anything they want? The answer is no. Just as soldiers and NHS staff – both employees of the government (as Civil Servants) – are expected to conform to strict levels of discipline – so are serving Police officers.

The US Uses Sexual Violence to Control Its Colonies!

Okinawa: US Sexual Criminality – Women Protest Japanese Government “Silence”! (4.7.2024)

“What’s even more unforgivable is that the Okinawa police didn’t report the cases to the prefectural government. They seem to believe they can act with impunity, a trend of which is becoming more blatant,” she told Xinhua.

Okinawa hosts 70 percent of all U.S. military bases in Japan while accounting for only 0.6 percent of the country’s total land area. Crimes committed by U.S. service members and nonmilitary personnel have been a constant source of grievance for locals.

Tragedies continue to occur decades after massive protests in Japan when in 1995 a 12-year-old girl was raped by three U.S. servicemen. “Okinawans do not know how much similar harm they have to endure for the Japanese government,” a protester lamented.

Sutton Friends of Palestine - 2024

South London: Sutton Friends of Palestine – March! (29.6.2024)

Of course, we support the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) – and I often translate their Arabic-language articles into English translation. I have no idea what the internal politics are for the Sutton Friends of Palestine – as all these groups are affiliated to this or that orientation. As matters stand, this group formed-up in the square outside of the Waterstones Book Shop. I over-heard that they would soon be marching through Sutton High Street. We tried to acquire a leaflet – but was told that there were none – but we could “purchase” a badge – which seems a little lax. Leaflets can and do travel far and wide. We are Veterans of protest marches in the UK – most through Central London and involving millions of people! The anti-Israel marches have usually attracted huge numbers – primarily of Muslim people and their supporters. Perhaps half of this group were Muslim people.

Anti-Zionist Protests - US!

US: UC Irvine Academic Workers Join Strike Over Suppression of Pro-Palestinian Protests! (6.6.2024)

The union’s members voted last month to authorize a strike to protest the university’s controversial response to pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus, which they said has caused unsafe work conditions and violated their free speech rights.

The first UC campus that stood up and withheld labor was UC Santa Cruz where academic workers walked off the job on May 20. The walkout spread to UC Los Angeles and UC Davis on May 28, and further expanded to two more campuses, UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara, on Monday.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been spreading at colleges and universities across the United States amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Hundreds were arrested in crackdowns on pro-Palestinian protests and encampments on UC campuses across the state. Around 50 people were arrested on May 15 during police crackdown on a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at UC Irvine.

Zionist Fascism Condemned!

President of Cuba: “Israel burned people alive” – During Attack on Palestinian Tents in Rafah! (30.5.2024)

“How many people must die for the genocide to stop?” he said, stressing that “Cuba condemns Israel and calls for strengthening solidarity with Palestine.”

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez condemned the Israeli attack on the tents of displaced people in Rafah.

“We condemn this attack, which violates international humanitarian law,” he said. “This brutal massacre of hundreds of refugees is one of the most prominent evidence of what Israel has committed against the Palestinian people.”

45 Palestinian civilians were killed and dozens injured, most of them women and children, in a bombing by Israeli occupation warplanes on displaced persons’ tents in Tal al-Sultan area, northwest of Rafah, even though it was among the areas that the Israeli army claimed were “safe and possible to move to.”

British Students Support Palestine!

British University Students Support Palestine Against Zionist “Genocide”! (9.5.2024)

“We ask everyone who is taking part to do so with respect, courtesy and empathy,” the spokesperson said.

Students and staff at the University of London have set up a “Liberated Zone for Gaza” on campus stating that the institution was “deeply tied to Israeli settler colonialism” through investments in various companies.

Similar pro-Palestine encampments have been set up at universities in Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle as well.

Students from the Cambridge Jews for Justice in Palestine group said they “refuse to sit by while our university is complicit in, and profits from, the genocide of Palestinians and we refuse to accept its commitment to murder and bloodshed as the status quo”.

The group’s spokesperson said they were joining “students across the world in refusing the weaponised conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism”.

The protests at British universities mirror pro-Palestine demonst
