Just over a year ago, “anti-terrorism” police turned up at the home of writer and Palestine campaigner Tony Greenstein in the English seaside town of Brighton and questioned him over a tweet he had posted saying he supports “Hamas against the Israeli army.” He was arrested and released on restrictive bail conditions. A few weeks ago, the Crown Prosecution Service charged Greenstein under the notoriously repressive and anti-democratic Terrorism Act 2000, accusing him of expressing “an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization.” This serious charge could result in a prison sentence of up to 14 years. On today’s Livestream we’ll talk to Tony about the growing repression he and other activists and journalists are facing for their work in support of Palestinian liberation and how they are fighting back. We will also hear an interview with emergency physician Dr. Mimi Syed, one of the few foreign doctors currently in Gaza. Nora Barrows-Friedman will bring us up to date on news from Gaza and the wider region and Jon Elmer will cover the latest resistance news amid Israel’s genocidal campaign in northern Gaza. Please join Nora, Jon, Ali Abunimah and Asa Winstanley for all this and more. Thank you for reading, listening to and sharing all our original news and analysis at The Electronic Intifada. We’re an independent publication. Our work is only possible thanks to supporters like you. Please make a gift so we can keep exposing Israel’s lies and telling Palestine’s stories. |
