The UK supports another genocide, surprising no one.

Nazi country
- "Released without charge"
  Nazis do a lot of that?
  Edit. Look at all you people downvoting me because you want to believe the Nazis weren't that bad and would let people go without charge. Shame on you.
  
  Should never have been arrested to begin with.
  
  Arresting innocent people to intimidate them is a staple move.
  
  Literally a signature of the School of the Americas playbook.

Holocaust survivor tag aint gonna do shit when you are facing Zionists

Video of speech available here: https://skwawkbox.org/2024/11/03/exclusive-prof-haim-bresheeths-anti-genocide-speech-before-he-was-arrested-for-terrorism/
- What did he say?
  
  You can watch the video can get an unbiased account including intonation, expressions, and gestures.
  
  From what I understand, it seems like him saying how Israel hasn’t and cannot defeat Hamas and Hezbollah has been interpreted as being support for both groups, which are designated as terrorist organisations by the UK. That’s the grounds for the arrest.

Gotta love how western regimes are dropping the whole pretense of having human rights and freeze peach.

looking at a Jewish guy thinking “well the antisemitism charge isn’t going to stick…”
Then having the brainwave:
“wait, antizionism,
is this… terrorism?!?”

Oh look, the overreaching anti-terrorism laws are being used to silence anyone who disagrees with the government. That’s definitely not something anyone saw coming
