Defend Solidarity With Palestine! Zionism Is Racism!
On Saturday 8 February, Daniel Green, a black pro-Palestine activist was singled out for arrest on an anti-Zionist demonstration organised by the Revolutionary Communist Group in Nottingham. The picket was of HSBC, targeted for its funding of arms companies supplying the racist Israeli state. Daniel was the only black person on the protest, and the only one to be targeted. This wrongful and racist arrest must be put into the context of the ongoing campaign to criminalise opposition to Zionism (a form of racism) – both in Palestine itself, and in Britain especially following the adoption of the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism. An example of ‘anti-semitism’ under the IHRA is the statement that ‘Israel is a racist endeavour’. The arrest of this activist shows that the criminalisation of support for Palestine is well underway.

Racist police targeting a human being with a good heart is a shame on all police.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know how they can justify themselves as being a force for good when they have literally acted as slave masters for an apartheid state - this isn’t even an opinion, it’s a fact if they bother to look up the injustice that’s going on.
Disgusting how our forces, police and military are used like dogs for US imperialist policy, what’s become of our Country, or our people?? Police need to look at themselves, question their orders and defend their own people instead of attacking them, locking the good ones in cages if you ask me
