UN experts urge United Kingdom not to misuse terrorism laws against protest group Palestine Action | OHCHR

"GENEVA – UN experts* today urged the United Kingdom not to ban the “direct action” group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000.
“We are concerned at the unjustified labelling of a political protest movement as ‘terrorist’,” the experts said. “According to international standards, acts of protest that damage property, but are not intended to kill or injure people, should not be treated as terrorism.”
The Government asserts that the group is “terrorist” because some members have allegedly caused criminal damage to property, including at military bases and arms companies, with the aim of progressing its political cause and influencing the Government. Proscription would trigger a range of criminal offences relating to support for the group.
Palestine Action positions itself as a national activist network that promotes civil disobedience and takes direct action against companies and institutions deemed by the group as being used by Israel to violently enforce apartheid, occupation, colonisation and genocide in Palestine.
“While there is no binding definition of terrorism in international law, best practice international standards limit terrorism to criminal acts intended to cause death, serious personal injury or hostage taking, in order to intimidate a population or compel a government or an international organisation to do or to abstain from doing any act,” the experts said.
“The UK supported this approach in voting for Security Council resolution 1566 in 2004,” they said. “Mere property damage, without endangering life, is not sufficiently serious to qualify as terrorism.”

For those who don't get it yet: this begins with "Palestine Action" and leads to "Anti-Vaxxers" protest groups banned. Stop looking at the labels and see what is actually going on: free speech is being gradually removed and protest groups are being made into terrorists. If we can't make some noise about this now they will feel they can move to the next group. One at a time. Because none of us stand up for each other as we are all locked inside our own little boxes. It begins with antisemitism and Palestine and ends with you and me.

Why should "Palestine Action" and other groups not be proscribed as terrorists? Minor damage to the property of the private ownership of the military industrial complex and its Big Pharma spin off is completely essential for these protests to have any impact. That is why regardless of your ability or inability to spot a genocide it is essential to draw a line between damage and death to civilians (terrorism) and minor damage to property (not terrorism). Nobody was politically terrified about some paint sprayed on a hedge fund privately owned "RAF" plane but those intent on perpetrating genocide, as it sends a message that if we join forces the people united can easily stop the war machine through such actions. Same applies to stopping Big Pharma. Protest groups will now be forced underground. AI will be used to flag them up to the authorities. If the state declares war on its subjects, the subjects need to organise and fight back. Just do not use a smart or any mobile phone when doing so. I don't think this is the end of "Palestine Action" or equivalent.

If you look at this post and all you can see is "UN" and "Palestine" then you are stuck in identity politics. See the bigger picture removing the labels.

UN Calls Out Google and Amazon for Abetting Gaza Genocide

"Microsoft, Amazon and Google among major corporations identified as being part of a “joint criminal enterprise” in helping Israel carry out a genocide in Gaza. The companies have made unprecedented profits from the slaughter of more than 62,000 Palestinians since October 2023."

IT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO REMEMBER THE UN IS CONSTITUTED BY 6 DIFFERENT BODIES, SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS.

THEY NEED TO BE KEPT SEPARATE. THE PACT FOR THE FUTURE WANTS TO UNITE THEM UNDER THE SECRETARY GENERAL

"This Pact will constitute an end-run around the established procedures for amending the United Nations Charter that are set forth therein. This Pact will set up the United Nations Secretary General as the Dictator of the entire Uniting Nations Organization upon his mere ipse dixit that there exists an 'emergency' as defined by him.

To the contrary there are six Independent Organs of the United Nations:
1. The Security Council;
2. The General Assembly;
3. The Trusteeship Council;
4. The Economic and Social Council;
5. The International Court of Justice; and the
6. The Secretariat.

That is precisely why he is called Secretary General, a mere Secretary, and not Director General. These 6 U.N. Organs were deliberately set up at the San Francisco Conference to be independent of each other with no one Organ having supervisory jurisdiction over any other Organ. But under this Pact the UN Secretary General will in violation of the terms of the United Nations Charter arrogate to himself all of the powers of the General Assembly, the Trusteeship Council, the Economic and Social Council, and the Secretariat as well as over the all U.N. Specialized Agencies and U.N. Affiliated Organizations. He will thus become the Dictator General of the United Nations Organization, not its Secretary in charge of only the Secretariat as originally designed at the San Francisco Conference. This totalitarian arrangement will constitute a grave and dire and immediate threat to the Sovereignty and Independence of all United Nations Member States. For these reasons, I implore you to vigorously oppose this Pact for the Future."

The trick to get around the "Palestine Action" designation as a terrorist organisation is to wind it down and start with a different name. Goodbye "Palestine Action" & welcome "Yvette Cooper".

Newly launched direct action group 'Yvette Cooper' targets Time Logistics, who transport weaponry for Israel's biggest weapons firm.

If you want to ban Palestine Action, you'll have to proscribe Yvette Cooper too.

Palestine Action isn’t being proscribed because they are terrorists, but because they have been astonishingly effective at disrupting the work of Israel’s largest weapons company.
