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.

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.

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.

Trumpās desire to label āantifaā as a āterrorist organizationā 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.

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.
