What a UK court’s backing of the Palestine Action ‘terror’ ban means

How has Palestine Action responded to the ruling?

In a statement read by a representative following the ruling, Palestine Action’s Ammori said the group will challenge the judgement in the UK’s Supreme Court.

“We will fight this all the way. We will seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court and, if need be, take this to the European Court of Human Rights,” Ammori said.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), established by the Council of Europe, allows individuals to hold member states accountable for rights violations through a dedicated court. When the ECHR finds a violation, its judgements are legally binding on the state concerned under the European Convention on Human Rights.

“We will not stop fighting to overturn one of the most extreme attacks on free speech and the right to protest in modern British history,” Ammori added.

“This unprecedented abuse of power has devastated the lives of thousands of people while silencing dissent over Israel’s slaughter of the Palestinian people during the genocide, when that dissent could not be more urgent.”

Netanyahu to run for re-election, his party says, after Trump raises doubts

Netanyahu has faced a tumultuous term since returning to power in December 2022 at the helm of the most right-wing coalition in Israeli history. He faced mass anti-government protests before the wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
Polls have repeatedly indicated that his coalition would fail to ‌win ⁠a majority at the next election. A poll published by the Jerusalem-based Israel Democracy Institute think tank on June 9 said that 61% of the Israeli public believe he should not run.

US, Israeli assets ‘legitimate targets’ after attack on Beirut: Qalibaf

In a forceful post on his X account on Sunday, Qalibaf issued a stark warning to the US and Israel, saying their military bases and assets across the region have become legitimate targets after the Israeli regime bombed Beirut‘s southern suburbs.

He said the United States has not been committed to the April ceasefire agreement with Iran and is not serious about dialogue.

„They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue,“ Qalibaf wrote.

By enforcing a naval blockade and breaching agreements related to Lebanon, he emphasized, they have made it clear that the only language they understand is that of power.

Irael bombardiert Beirut

Der Vergeltungsangriff ist von Netanjahu nicht nur einkalkuliert, sondern bewusst herausgefordert worden. Der Konflikt zeigt wieder, dass Israel nicht vertragsfähig ist, eben wie die USA.

Based on Mr. Aoun‘s comments, one would think it‘s Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis. Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we‘d have a deal long ago.

Iran rejects Secretary Rubio’s accusations of Iranian assassination plots

Israeli Officials Denounce NYT Report on Systemic Sexual Abuse of Palestinians

The article in question, “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” by Nicholas Kristof, recounts the stories of 14 Palestinians who experienced sexual violence at the hands of Israeli soldiers and settlers. A majority of the interviews discuss sexual violence inflicted by soldiers and interrogators on Palestinians in Israeli detention, but others speak of attacks by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank — attacks that are “increasingly protect[ed]” by the Israeli military, according to Kristof. The interviews are reinforced by testimony from Israeli and international human rights organizations, and demonstrate that sexual violence is systemic, used on a daily basis against Palestinians, and effectively Israeli state policy.

Iran says its proposal was generous as US insists on ‘unreasonable demands’

Regarding the US accusations against Iran, Baghaei said, Iran has proven to be a responsible power in the region, and at the same time, it is anti-bullying.

“It is enough to look at Iran‘s record. Were we the ones who deployed troops? Are we the ones bullying countries in the Western Hemisphere? Were we the ones who committed assassinations twice during negotiations?” he added.

He further noted that the very presence of the US in the region is itself an example of creating a cycle of violence.
