Breaking: the NEC decided to drop Chris Williamson as a Labour candidate for MP in this election. #ReinstateChrisWilliamson
Chris Williamson was politically assassinated by the Israel lobby, after he tried to promote the film WitchHunt. #ReinstateChrisWilliamson

You can still view it online here: electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
The NEC's decision today to uphold their June "re-suspension" of Chris Williamson flies in the face of last month's High Court ruling, which found that that suspension was unlawful: electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
For clarity: Chris Williamson remains suspended as a Labour Party member. He hasn't been expelled, and is likely to remain in limbo till long after the general election.

NEC has decided today to he cannot be a Labour candidate in this election. #ReinstateChrisWilliamson
The NEC move today will satisfy no one.

The Labour right and internal Israel lobby will never be appeased and will continue to raise hell, demanding his expulsion.

The party's grassroots will be outraged and will continue to demand his return. #ReinstateChrisWilliamson

New: @DefendourJuries write to @metpoliceuk Commissioner Mark Rowley to say they will return to Parliament Square holding "I Support Palestine Action" signs on Saturday. 🧵

And it looks like civil disobedience will expand to Manchester and Cardiff too. Image
In the new letter, the group is challenging the Met, asking if they really will investigate the hundreds of thousands who "have re-posted images [online] expressing support for Palestine Action".
They say: "We will be in Parliament Square again this Saturday and understand that others will be in Manchester and Cardiff too. We will again be prepared for arrest."

This appears to be the first public act of civil disobedience in Britain against the proscription of Palestine Action.

For news reporting purposes:
More civil disobedience against the proscription of Palestine Action: University of Exeter professor Laleh Khalili:
This now an ongoing thread reporting on civil disobedience against the Palestine Action ban. 🧵

The first silent protest against the ban took place in Parliament Square organised by Defend Our Juries, who I understand will continue every weekend

Just came back from the “We are all Palestine Action” (@Pal_action) protest against @YvetteCooperMP’s proposed ban of the group as “terrorist.”

Riot police were very aggressive and appeared to make several arrests. I saw assaults by police against peaceful protestors
Planned as a last minute response over the weekend, the protest had initially been called for nearby Parliament Square. But police imposed conditions, banning them from that location. So they held it in Trafalgar Square instead.
However, the square was mostly fenced off (due to some sort of stage for an event being constructed there). So the protest soon spilled over into the road, as the police pushed the protesters further and further away.

Just watched "We Will Dance Again," a BBC film written & directed by former (?) Israeli army reservist Yariv Mozer (who took part in the failed 2006 invasion of Lebanon).

Many significant omissions but perhaps most striking: the disappearance of the "Hamas rape campaign" lies. Image
Aside from two interviewees in the film who make extremely vague insinuations of fears of rape, even the word "rape" does not feature.

It didn't happen. @AliAbunimah has led the way in debunking this particularly malignant lie: electronicintifada.net/tags/mass-rape…
Raz Cohen, the former Israeli special forces soldier who repeatedly lied to mainstream media about seeing people raped at the Supernova festival –– and whose quote was behind the NYT's notoriously fake "Screams Without Words" headline –– DOES NOT APPEAR and isn't mentioned. Image

🧵A thread of Britain's direct military & intelligence participation in Israel's Gaza genocide, based on @kennardmatt's @declassifiedUK reporting:

1) 8 May: "The Royal Air Force (RAF) has flown 200 surveillance flights over Gaza since December..."
declassifieduk.org/revealed-uk-mi…
"... March saw the highest number of British spy flights over Gaza with 44 missions ... Gaza sits around 30 minutes flight time from the base [in Cyprus] so it is likely the RAF has gathered around 1,000 hours of surveillance footage over Gaza."
"A British spy flight was in the air on Monday April 1 when three Britons were killed in an Israeli strike on aid workers in Gaza. John Chapman, 57, James Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47, were among seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in the targeted assassination."

Breaking: ICJ dismisses Israeli attempt to rule out the South African case of genocide against Palestinians on technical grounds –– i.e. the court rules it a fact that there is a dispute between SA and Isr. on the question.
Breaking: ICJ rules there's a prima facie case to answer in South Africa's genocide case against Israel.
Breaking: The ICJ judge is now running through the genocidal language of Israeli politicians.

Cites infamous statements by war minister Yoav Gallant on siege and "human animals," as well as president Isaac Herzog's "entire nation" bile.
