Links - 10th September 2025 (2 - Hamas Attack Oct 2023 [including Palestine Action in the UK])

Meme - "RT HON ROBERT JENRICK MP
HOUSE OF COMMONS
Prime Minister,
In 2001 you chose to defend Lindis Percy - a serial trespasser arrested more than 500 times for breaking into RAF and US air bases to disrupt and sabotage military aircraft. You volunteered your time pro bono to argue thar such attacks could be lawful, presumably because you had sympathy with her actions. The cab rank rule cannot excuse that choice. Where, as here, no fee is offered, rC30.8 of the Bar Standards Board Handbook removes any duty to act. Downing Street's ludicrous claim that you had no choice owing to the cab rank rule is therefore false. You must now correct it and make clear you acted voluntarily. By championing Ms Percy and others, you tried to create a precedent that would make politically motivated sabotage of defence assets immune from punishment. Had you succeeded, last week's raid on RAF Brize Norton would today be on firm legal ground. You then celebrated risking national security, featuring Ms Percy in your 2020 leadership launch video. Once a lawyer selects a client for political promotion, that clearly becomes endorsement of them and their actions. The public is entitled to interpret your views as anti-British and a threat to our national security, Our armed forces deserve Prime Minister who has their back, not one who spent a career defending and then lauding those who attacked them."

Palestine Action supporters target lone protester with Israeli flag - "Palestine Action supporters rounded on a sole pro-Israel counter-protester on Saturday as violent clashes broke out at a mass rally. The Metropolitan Police said it had arrested more than 425 people at the Westminster Palestine Action protest. Violence erupted at the protest, which an estimated 1,500 people attended, shortly after 4pm when a man unfurled an Israeli flag. Pro-Palestine protesters chased after the man and a scuffle broke out as they tried to steal his flag, the PA news agency reported. Police rushed in and escorted him away as a small crowd followed, calling him a “paedophile” and “Zionist”, and chanting “arrest him now”. Demonstrators at the highly volatile protest punched, kicked, spat and screamed at, and threw water over officers as they made arrests, the Metropolitan Police said. The crowd waved Palestinian flags as they chanted “shame on you”, “genocide in your name” and “Met Police, KKK, IDF: they’re all the same” at the police. More than 25 people were arrested for assaults on police officers and other public order offences, Scotland Yard said."
Clearly, they are innocent, peaceful protesters and the "Zionist" was responsible for the violence

NGO Monitor - Palestine Action - "Palestine Action does not publish financial information, reflecting a lack of transparency and accountability... In a November 2023 interview, James “Fergie” Chambers said that he pays the legal fees of Palestine Action members.
Chambers is an heir to what Forbes considers one of the wealthiest American family enterprises, Cox Enterprises, from which he has reportedly “inherited millions.”
Chambers has stated, “I chant death to America every day” and posted that “We need to start making people who support Israel actually afraid to go out in public.”
In October 2023, he posted that, “No faction of the Palestinian resistance, Hamas or other, has done *anything* wrong.”...
A May 2024 document by the UK Government’s independent adviser on political violence and disruption Lord Walney claimed... "There can be no doubt that Palestine Action is using illegal methods to attempt to close subsidiaries of a registered company operating lawfully in this country.”...
In August 2024, Unity of Fields, the American branch of Palestine Action, was removed from social media platforms due to a post saying that it was necessary “to open a new front against the US empire.”... To aid in destructive demonstrations, Palestine Action published an “Underground Manual” encouraging people to break the law and take illegal action in their activities against companies... The manual also suggests various acts of vandalism...
In June 2024, four activists from Palestine Action were arrested after they occupied GRiD Defence Systems, military computer and processor supplier for Israel’s war machine. After breaking into the company premises, “activists barricaded themselves inside, destroyed military hardware and unfurled banners.”"
Foreign funding and property damage are only wrong and disqualifying when it threatens the left wing agenda
This page doesn't even talk about Palestine Action attacking people with sledgehammers. But of course "resistance" is not the same as "oppression" and it's just self-defence
We're still told that left wingers don't hate their countries. But of course, chanting "Death to America" just shows how much you love it, because you're holding it to higher standards
Damn crackdown on peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters!
Luckily, the UK government has been focusing on the true threats to the country - incels, Islamophobia and transphobia

Stats for Lefties πŸ‰πŸ³️‍⚧️ on X - "Oh god. They're actually going to proscribe Palestine Action. This is completely insane. They're going to declare them a literal terrorist group"
James πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ πŸ‘‘ on X - "If I didn't want to be proscribed as a terrorist group, I would literally just not break into an RAF base, sabotage military aircraft, and claim responsibility for it."

Protester arrested over ‘Plasticine Action’ T-shirt: ‘How ridiculous is this?’ - "The T-shirt worn by the Brighton engineer did not express support for a proscribed terrorist group, instead the words on it read “Plasticine Action” and inside the letter “o” was an image of the stop-motion character Morph giving two thumbs up. Speaking to the Guardian, Pickering admitted it was designed to be an easy mistake to make, appearing to look like the logo of Palestine Action, the protest group banned under terrorism legislation last month, but text underneath the logo reads: “We oppose AI-generated animation.” The arrest happened – one of 532 that day – at a protest in Parliament Square in London on 9 August, after a police officer glanced at his top... Pickering has made copies of the T-shirt, which he is selling through his own website to raise money for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians. It has sold in 28 countries already. “So there’s people getting on this one, because it kind of works, doesn’t it?” he said. “It’s like we are just going to mock you for your ridiculous decision to proscribe a protest group. It’s just so important that our rights to protest do not get diminished.”... Pickering said that although he did care about AI ruining the animation industry, he was passionate about protesting for Gaza, and had seen support for the cause swell. He said he felt the tide of public opinion was turning, with more national news organisations showing images and video of the famine Israel was inflicting on the people of Gaza. “There’s no justification for it, and we all know it. I do think we’re winning. We’re going to win this battle, and Palestine will ultimately – as we’ve been shouting at people for so long – be free.”"
The left is obsessed with "dog whistles" when it suits them, but plays dumb when it's obvious to everyone what the issue is, and when he even proclaims what he is trying to do

Meme - Ahmed Eldin | Ψ§Ψ­Ω…Ψ― Ψ§Ω„Ψ―ΩŠΩ† @ASE: "Does this look like self-defense or genocide?" *levelled Gaza*
i/o @avidseries: "It looks like what one would expect to happen when a much weaker group goes into the territory of a much more powerful group and without provocation slaughters and kidnaps hundreds of civilians. We actually don't have many examples of this sort of thing happening in history because very few groups in history have been as retarded as Hamas."
Actually this was Hamas's plan. It's just that very few groups in history hate their stronger enemies more than they love their own children. Even the Nazis weren't so evil.
Weird how genocide of buildings is now genocide

Meme - Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze: "People are being shot and firebombed because of things like this. The American media is getting people killed"
The Washington Post: "Correction: We've deleted the post below because it and early versions of the article didn't meet Post fairness standards. The background: Early versions of the article on Sunday stated that Israeli troops had killed more than 30 people near a U.S. aid site in Gaza, with the headline attributing the action to "health officials." The article failed to make clear if attributing the deaths to Israel was the position of the Gaza health ministry or a fact verified by The Post. The article and headline were updated on Sunday evening making it clear that there was no consensus about who was responsible for the shootings and that there was a dispute over that question. While statements from Israel that it was unaware of injuries and that an initial inquiry indicated its soldiers didn't fire at civilians near the site were included in all versions, The Post didn't give proper weight to Israel's denial and gave improper certitude about what was known about any Israeli role in the shootings. The early versions fell short of Post standards of fairness and should not have been published in that form."
The Washington Post: "At least 31 people were killed Sunday morning in southern Gaza, according to the Strip's Health Ministry, when Israeli troops opened fire on crowds making their way to collect aid."
Time to punish another hit job on Stephen Miller because he holds unapproved opinions, but the media can unleash all the crazy murderers and that's fine, and only fascists criticise them

Meme - Hillel Fuld: "Hey @lufthansa, what say you?"
Barry Cohen: "I just flew Lufthansa from Munich to Olbia flight Ih 1910. Not only was my baggage lost, the stewardess, on board made a comment that there are so many Jews onboard they should be going to Auschwitz. This is what I paid first class for? I am repulsed and offended. What a completely tone deaf and disrespectful comment to make about your passengers. This "Jew" will never fly Lufthansa again."

Brooke Goldstein on X - "The irony is, I’m the only person at that table on @CNN who’s actually risked my life to advocate for Palestinian children. I spent two years in and out of Jenin, Ramallah, Tulkarem, and Nablus. I sat face-to-face with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al-Aqsa Brigades. I listened as they openly admitted they don’t want peace, they want war. This isn’t just about Hamas. It’s an ideology that glorifies death over life, indoctrinates children in schools to hate, and turns entire civilian populations into human shields."

Auschwitz at the ROM : r/toronto - "Calling this exhibit propaganda is the equivalent of calling pictures of starving children in Gaza "propaganda"."
"Take 2 seconds to research the Azrieli Foundation. It's propaganda"
"OMG REALLY!?!?! An organization founded by a holocaust survivor dedicated to holocaust education in Canada spearheaded a holocaust exhibit at the ROM?!?! PROPAGANDA ALERT!!!!!"

Dr. Maalouf ‏ on X - "PARIS: Islamist rioters climb the statue of Joan of Arc and wave the Palestinian flag. They are using their team’s victory as an excuse to wreak havoc. But had they lost, they would’ve done the same! From Joan of Arc to Islamists taking over, what a tragic downgrade for France."

RadioGenoa on X - "While Paris burns, flags of Morocco and Palestine are waving. In other videos, flags of Algeria and Tunisia are waving. Is there anything else we need to know to understand who criminals are?"
We are told that this is a football riot. Presumably these Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan supporters are associated with Middle Eastern/North African countries

Azat on X - "The Danish government refuses to accept Palestinians from Gaza, citing the specter of “family reunification”: out of 321 Palestinians admitted in 1992, 204 were convicted, including 67 incarcerated."
𝐍𝐒𝐨𝐑 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 ♛ ✡︎ on X - "There are 22 Arab countries, why are Gazans going to Belgium instead?"
It's totally a coincidence that Arab countries won't accept Palestinian refugees, claiming that that is good as Israel doesn't ethnically cleanse Palestine. But of course, Western countries accepting them is the humane thing to do

Hamas prevents civilian evacuation from Gaza City - "A senior defense source on Wednesday said that Hamas is working hard to block Palestinian civilians from evacuating from Gaza City despite the military’s two-week effort to encourage them to leave as the clock ticks down to an expected large-scale invasion... According to the defense source, Hamas wants to keep as many civilians as possible in Gaza City, both to serve directly as human shields from IDF attacks and also to place more diplomatic pressure on Israel to end the war in the event that Palestinian civilians are caught up in the crossfire. In the senior defense official’s view, Hamas views the deaths of its own population as a strategic asset to play against Israel’s reputation globally. Hamas tactics to prevent Palestinians from leaving Gaza City have varied from scaring them – by (falsely) claiming that conditions in southern Gaza are worse in terms of insufficient tents, food, and medical care – to physically shooting or beating those who do try to flee. In addition, Hamas’s public relations units are working to persuade Palestinians in Gaza City that it is their patriotic duty to stay as the terror organization prepares to repel the IDF’s invasion. When questioned about what had happened in terms of protests against Hamas several months ago, the source acknowledged that those had eventually died down. The senior defense official did add that there are still parts of Gaza over which Hamas has weaker control due to resistance by tribal clans or gangs, but that these are limited problems for Hamas and have not taken a broader toll on its control over Gaza"
Damn Zionists! Why are they condemning Gazans to die?!

Mark Humphrys on X - "Sick. Actor Javier Bardem compares Jews trying to survive in PΕ‚aszow concentration camp to jihadi mobs trying to break through the Gaza fence to kill Jews. This man is absolutely deranged with anti-Israel hatred."

Surgeon wore Palestinian badge while operating on Jewish patient - "UK Lawyers for Israel said growing numbers of Jewish patients were reporting their distress at seeing clinical and medical staff wearing slogans and badges in Palestinian colours. The trust’s ban applies to its five hospitals – St Bart’s, Mile End, Newham, Royal London, and Whipps Cross. The lawyers’ group raised the case of a young Jewish woman who attended Whipps Cross for a caesarean and encountered three members of staff wearing pro-Palestinian badges in a 24-hour period. In January, an outpatient receptionist at Royal London Hospital was seen wearing a black T-shirt showing a Palestinian keffiyeh scarf covering the map of Israel."
Clearly, if you don't allow people to express left wing political opinions at work, that's a lethal threat to freedom of expression. But if you express non-left wing ones, good luck to you, since you're threatening "safety"

NHS trust apologises after ‘Zionism is Poison’ posters found in hospital’ - "The posters, discovered at the University College London Hospital (UCLH) trust in Euston, central London, accused Israel of “starving and killing Palestinians in Gaza” and included the phrase “Zionism is Poison”."

Syrian activist to UN: “I testify before God: Israel is not the problem!” - "Are you outraged with the war in Gaza? So am I. My name is Rawan Osman. I am half Syrian, half Lebanese. Since October 7, I visited Israel nine times, and I want to testify before God and you: Israel is not the problem. Last week, Israel buried Shiri Bibas with her children, Ariel and Kfir. Hamas said they had been “arrested.” Forensic reports show they were choked to death in Gaza. But many who point fingers at Israel might do better to look in the mirror. I ask Qatar: Why didn’t you arrest the Hamas chiefs in Doha, and demand release of the hostages? Why did you finance terror? And I ask Iran: Why do you send billions to Hamas and Hezbollah, instead of liberating your own people, who are suffering oppression and poverty? Egypt, you charged Gazans thousands of dollars to escape the war. How can you lecture about the morality of displacing Gazans? Jordan, why have you refused to accept any Gazans? Are they not your own people? Lebanon, instead of discussing Hezbollah’s political role, ban the party. Syria, if your new president is sincere about his transformation, I ask him to return the body of Eli Cohen. It has been six decades. Allow his wife to bury him before she dies. Hamas abuses dead bodies. Be a better Arab. Be a better Muslim"

Meme - Ron Paul @RonPaul: "Horror: Israeli Intel Database Reveals 83% Killed In Gaza Are Civilians! - today on the Liberty Report:"
Dr. Eli David @DrEliDavid: "No, you idiot, Israeli data does NOT reveal that! Israel published names of pre-war known terrorists for 17% of those killed. Most of the remaining are also terrorists, more junior ones and new recruits during the war."
Terrorist supporters kept crowing about this, but as usual they have very poor comprehension skills

Meme - Drew Pavlou @DrewPavlou: "The Arab lawyer representing Hamas in the UK once wrote about "enslaving and plundering the indigenous white population" of Britain. IMMEDIATE DEPORT."
"Hamas fails to overturn status as banned terrorist group in UK. The Islamist group appeated against the ban, claiming it stifled free speech and breached the European Convention on Human Rights"
Fahad Ansari (Stop the Gazan g... @fahadansari: "Considering your ancestors decided (by force) what was best for the rest of the world & how those countries should be governed, we politely decline your offer. Once we have enslaved you and the indigenous white population and plundered your wealth, happy to reconsider."

Hen Mazzig on X - "The American-Israeli aid group released its’ CCTV from the time Hamas and the Red Cross claim Palestinians were killed. The evidence show there was no shooting at this area. Hamas and the Red Cross are lying."

AG on X - "So, how many people know there was an armed battle inside Gaza's Nasser hospital today? I can't find one major media outlet that covered it. Want to guess why? Israel wasn't involved. Hamas killed a Palestinian boy and then retreated to the hospital complex. A place they've used the whole time, but the media keeps pretending otherwise while citing the staff there who cooperate with them. Only this time, armed members of the family of the murdered boy pursued them, and a shootout broke out. Media outlets that often report on claims from Nasser Hospital seem to have no interest in these events, despite the significant damage at the hospital."

Pro-Palestinian group target former hostage Noa Argamani in Canada - "People, alleged to be members of the University of Windsor's Palestinian Solidarity Group (PSG), yelled “Hamas are coming” and a number of other statements at a fundraiser in Canada attended by former hostage Noa Argamani on Wednesday, the rescued hostage confirmed on X/Twitter on Saturday. “Hamas came. Hamas kidnapped me. Hamas murdered my friends. But I won; I survived. Now, I speak for those who can’t,” Argamani shared. “I’ll keep exposing Hamas’s crimes and fighting for the hostages’ release—including my partner, Avinatan. “I refuse to let terror sympathizers control the narrative.” A video of the incident shared by Argamani claimed that the alleged PSG members also blocked attendees from entering and exiting the building."
Terrorism supporters are going to complain about 'censorship' of 'pro-Palestinian 'speech'' again

Meme - *Death to America* Masked protester with blue hair, big earrings, Communist armband, Antifa flag, Che Guevara t-shirt, Palestinian flag: "END THE OCCUPATION! OPEN THE BORDERS!"
Campus Staff: "OK... I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO STOP OCCUPYING THE CAMPUS AND REMOVE THE BARRIERS"

Rape is resistance, and beepers are genocide - "The myth that Israel’s tactics are at issue, not its existence, died with the murdered Jewish families on Oct. 7, 2023 and the Hezbollah terrorists taken out by pagers on Sept. 17, 2024. No sooner did the encrypted communications devices handed out to members of the Islamic jihadist group begin exploding than human rights experts and the United Nations began condemning the single greatest targeted attack on a terror group as a violation of international law. Those same organizations and activists had nothing to say about the Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israeli towns and villages that turned tens of thousands of Jews into refugees in their own country. There is no legitimate way for Israel (or any non-Muslim country) to take out an Islamic terrorist. No amount of warnings, phone calls and dropped leaflets and roof-knocking warning projectiles were enough of a precaution. Even hostage-rescue operations were condemned for killing terrorists who, in the usual Hamas medical department parlance, turned into innocent children. And there’s also no such thing as an illegitimate Muslim way to murder Jews. Oct. 7 proved that... The Democratic Socialists of America, which boasts five allied Members of Congress including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, has taken to arguing in favor of “armed resistance” and Hamas. More Democrats have taken to social media to condemn a Detroit News cartoon which implied that Tlaib’s support for terrorism may have led her to worry about her pager, than two recent Muslim terrorist plots to massacre Jews in synagogues, in Las Vegas and New York City. The Democrat political establishment can’t seem to get around to condemning the Islamic groups attacking synagogues and marching through the streets praising the rape and murder of Jews. The liberal establishment accepts the Islamic terrorist cause but rejects the Israeli cause. That’s why when it comes to Islamic terrorism, it emphasizes the cause over the tactics, but when it comes to Israel, it emphasizes the tactics over the cause. Every Israeli tactic is illegitimate because the cause, a Jewish state, is illegitimate, but no Islamic tactic is ever truly illegitimate because the jihadist cause, replacing Israel with an Islamic state, is legitimate. No matter how often the Arab Muslim invaders occupying parts of Gaza and the West Bank pledge their allegiance to terror, we are told that their ultimate cause is just and inevitable. And that the killings, kidnappings and rapes don’t truly represent the moral righteousness of it. While every time Israel takes out a terrorist, the media links it to the Jewish “occupation” of those parts of Israel that the terrorists demand for themselves. Since Israel’s existence is wrong, any tactic it uses to fight the terrorists trying to take it over is a human rights violation. The Marxist mobs in the street are at least honest about their ideological orientation. They define all Jews living in Israel as “settlers” who are fair game for genocide. Whether Israel takes its enemies out with drone strikes, exploding beepers or Barney songs played on a loop doesn’t much matter except as useful propaganda material to call for the destruction of Israel. The liberal anti-Israel establishment in D.C., human rights groups and the media have played a cynical game of focusing on Israel tactics, as if they actually cared how Israel takes out terrorists and as if there were any means of taking out terrorists that would win their approval. A generation of the Israeli military jumping through every possible hoop has yielded only angrier and more sanctimonious condemnations every time another terrorist bites the dust. Israel has wasted a lot of its soldiers’ and civilians’ lives in the hopes of achieving some phantom “purity of arms” that included an extensive approvals process for strikes that crippled its aerial response on Oct. 7... The real lesson of the pager attacks was that an innovative Israeli attack on Islamic terrorists will be cheered by the right people and condemned by the wrong ones. Israeli hasbara (public relations) is a fundamentally misguided effort to explain the need for a war whose hand-wringing signals weakness and guilt. What makes people cheer for Israel are accomplishments, winning a war in six days, rescuing hostages from Africa, taking out an Islamic nuclear program on July 4 and detonating the communications devices of a terrorist group responsible for killing Americans. No one except the occasional military expert who tours the battlefield is impressed by Israeli restraint. And restraint will win not a single concession from the same establishment that can’t bring itself to condemn by name the mobs waving Hamas flags and assaulting Jewish students. Israel has been held hostage trying to win over those who cannot be won over. Much of the liberal establishment has either become radicalized into permanently opposing Israel or has become complicit with those who do. The only narrative it will accept demands that Israel be dismantled piece by piece and parceled out to Islamic terrorists in exchange for peace. That the peace has never come, that the negotiations are worthless and that the only product of two generations of concessions is endless war will not change a single mind. Just as the implication of the revelation that Hamas planned to murder Israeli hostages before handing them over in exchange for live Muslim terrorists was hardly even discussed in the media... Israel has been divided by the need to balance winning wars against winning over public opinion, but the public opinion of the establishment was never winnable. Or if it is, it can only be won by winning wars. The Biden administration’s policymakers will never admit it, but they were far more impressed by the pager attacks than by 9 months of negotiations. The same is more obviously true of Arab-Muslim countries that despise Hezbollah and fear Iran."
