Surely this site’s coverage of the farce of the trials and appeals of Julian Assange made this point very, very clear.

And did so immediately, as if it had been prepared to do so.

While very many (millions upon millions) of people around the world are “chomping at the bits” to deal Israel a blow, these young people took some form of action. A minute one compared to the ongoing genocide itself.
It doesn’t matter that it was perhaps not the wisest of actions, but the way the British establishment (justice system) punishes them before trial is despicable. I hope that many of us will be able to support them spiritually and practically and bring out those spiteful powers that are politicizing their case.

His Majesty’s government is saturated with the most zealous Zionists outside of Netanyahu’s cabinet.

Theodor Herzl may have been the father of Zionism, but Lord Balfour and the British Parliament were the midwives bringing it into the world.
