"The Zionist system in Palestine is closer to disintegration than at any point in its history!" Support Palestine Deep Dive: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/suppport Iran and Israel are at war after Israel launched an unprovoked attack last week. Palestine Deep Dive's Ahmed Alnaouq sits down with legendary journalist and hip hop artist Lowkey to talk about the role Iran has played in the history of resistance to Zionism, about whether regime change in Iran is Israel's end goal, and who might come out on top. They also talk about the resistance to the Gaza genocide within the UK, particularly the role Palestine Action has played, and the repression the British state has unleashed on activists and journalists to try to dampen the popular movement for Palestine. Finally, they compare notes on being interviewed by Piers Morgan, and talk about whether his recent change of position on the genocide in Gaza is genuine, and what his real goal is with his popular Youtube show.

In this episode of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain speaks with the prominent academic, writer, activist and research director of CAGE International, Dr. Asim Qureshi. Topics of discussion included: What have we learnt from 20 months of Israel's genocide in Gaza? Dr. Asim's viral open letter to Muslim scholars this Ramadan. https://www.islam21c.com/opinion/letter-to-scholars-during-genocide/ Understanding fear in the context of tawhid, courage and Prophet Musa (as). Palestine Action, fighting Zionism and the ‘Filton 18' case. Gatekeepers and grifters in the pro-Palestine camp: two state supporters and anti-resistance.

Mark Carney's Liberal Party has secured an unprecedented fourth term in the Canadian elections. Plus: The UK government has shared contact details of police investigators and crown prosecutors in Palestine Action cases with the Israeli embassy. With Aaron Bastani, NoJusticeMTG and Palestine Action's Huda Ammori.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with a frontline activist from Palestine Action, the UK-based direct action network targeting Elbit Systems—the Israeli weapons manufacturer responsible for arming and enabling genocide in Palestine and beyond. We dig into the strategy of physically dismantling the military-industrial complex, the stakes of this fight, and the growing number of political prisoners facing terror charges for their resistance. Max, from Palestine Action, joins Breht to discuss the organization, the moral responsibility those in the imperial core have toward the victims of imperialism, Palestine Action's tactics and strategy, why they focus on Elbit Systems in particular, the role weapons manufacturers play in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians as well as perpetuating imperialism and colonialism around the planet, The Filton 18 and other political prisoners, the deafening silence and lack of solidarity shown by liberal and mainstream pro-Palestine movements, and much more.

On this edition of Free City Radio we go to Lithuania and speak with Monica and Noura who work with a project to build the Palestine solidarity movement in the context of Lithuania. The group in Lithuania is called POPPIES, Palestine Action Group, Vilnius. I wanted to highlight this organizing initiative because we often hear about Palestine solidarity organizing within centres of power, protests in Paris, or New York City, but not as much in cities on the edges, in this case on the edge of the EU, in the Baltic context of Lithuania. This conversation was originally recorded in Nov. 2024. This interview program is supported in 2025 by the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains. The graphic is from Justseeds.org and their ongoing Palestine solidarity graphics packages.

These groups, such as "Palestine Action," utilize the same ugly tactics and ideologies that have defined every major Palestinian terror organization for the past many decades.

I'm joined by Palestine Action's Huda Ammori who explains why they're using direct action to fight Israel's genocide - and how their activists are being targeted with anti-terror legislation.Press support us as we expand our challenge to our broken media here: https://www.patreon.com/owenjones84 or here: https://ko-fi.com/owenjonesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

The first of many planned protests in the NW happened today, the 18th in Olympia, The People's March, was followed by Festivals of Resistance. It started in Heritage Park where the protesters gathered and listened to five different speakers, 1, a recording, speaking from a jail cell. They spoke about the environment, immigrant rights, a free Palestine, human rights and fighting against the billionaire's who run the country.

We're back! The long silence was due to Lee's trip to Tibet (something you can hear about in his comedy special live on zoom December 14th!) and you know, that holiday celebrating US genocide during another US-backed genocide. On brand.  So, in this episode:  Sec. Blinken doesn't think enough Ukrainian kids are dying in the US proxy war with Russia. Meanwhile, without the US, Israel could not fight. And that's coming from top officials in Israel.  Palestine Action activists in court for standing up against genocide.  Surveillance tech used by cops is wrong almost 90% of the time. So why are cities still using it??   *Note: this was recorded on December 6th so before we knew who had shot United Healthcare CEO.

In this episode we interview 20 year old organizer Calla Walsh to talk about her experiences as a co-founder of Palestine Action US, as well as the political repression she and others have faced in the case of the Merrimack 4. She talks about why we should view their case as a win, and underlines the need for continued escalation for Palestine thirteen months into the genocidal response to Al-Aqsa Flood In this interview she offers in-depth discussion of the importance of risk-taking, and the problems of defeatist narratives about taking direct action. It is also a sober set of reflections, criticisms, and self-criticism about the last year in the Palestine solidarity movement in the US. There are also reflections on the lack of strong ethics around movement defense in this time and principles of basic solidarity towards those facing repression even if there may be legitimate criticisms people may have of their actions. Calla also offers an analysis of some of the distinctions between Palestine Action UK and Palestine Action US and how Calla thinks we need to re-orient approaches to direct action for Palestine given these differences. It is important to note that Palestine Action UK continues to face a lot of repression and continues to have significant successes as well in the UK. We have a recent discussion with Huda Ammori which we encourage you all to listen to, in order to learn more about that, and see ways you can support Palestine Action in the UK. I really encourage people who listen to this, to write to Calla and other members of the Merrimack 4 while they are in jail.  All of their contact information is below.

The BRICS summit brought a slew of multipolar plans and economic futures to the stage, and in an almost comedic soap-opera esque jealous complaint, US propaganda wasted no time in trying to undermine and denounce the summit and the nations present.  Meanwhile in the UK, Palestine Action defendants found themselves let off as easy as they could hope as a judge agreed with their defense that their actions were done in desparation for what is happening in Gaza.  Boeing machinists continue strike despite the war and aerospace giant stealing their healthcare.  Israhell has targeted the UN with white phosphorus because one war crime ain't enough.  PLUS Biden administration behind deadly listeria outbreak, and MORE!   leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

While X may censor less than some social media sites, it still censors just as much as YouTube did just 8 years ago. The difference now is that people have been normalized to a heightened amount of censorship, so it seems as though it's a free speech platform. We've been dramatically shadow banned and so has David Icke. So let us not fall for the psyop. Meanwhile, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was released on bail for 5 million Euros and ordered to stay in France while awaiting trial which could land him in prison for 20 years. Why? Because he didn't censor so-called "hate speech" on the platform. In reality, more information is coming out that the Biden-Harris administration and the Israeli government were directly involved in having him arrested. While Pavel Durov has indeed pushed back against censorship many times, he's also handed data to the government in the past and has apologized for it. He has also censored us and taken down our pages in the past. So again, don't fall for the psyop. This is normalization leading to a takeover. Many groups critical of Israel recently have been silenced and in the UK, the head of a Palestine Action group was arrested on terrorism charges. Interesting that the left supports censorship and imprisonment for misgendering and offending someone which is currently leading to large numbers of people being imprisoned in the UK and even causing prison overcrowding. All the while, the right supports censorship and imprisonment for being so-called "anti-semitic." This is why both sides are inconsistent cowards falling for the same end agenda. Digital IDs and total technocratic control. That is indeed where all of this censorship and chaos is leading. TikTok is going to court due to a child dying after trying a challenge on TikTok. This is of course a tragedy but where were the parents? Why is it that a company is responsible for some child doing something incredibly dangerous and deadly? This is just a cop-out to allow more excuses for censorship. Meanwhile, Amazon is releasing digital palm payments and ATM machines in Virginia are being rolled out as we previously reported with digital ID readers that may even restrict you based on vaccine status. The end goal is a CBDC with digital IDs attached to carbon and social credit scores in 15 Minute Cities. This is clear. That will be the real censorship. Not just of speech but of one's very humanity and consciousness. That is the main target. Are you prepared for what comes next? Everything we're seeing in the media today is a dry run into this inevitable technocratic hell. Resistance comes from within, not from some haircut in front of a podium. Please remember that.

So far this year, the city of Boston has recorded a grand total of 8 homicides while the similarly populated city of Washington D.C has had 110. Professor Thomas Abt, founding director of the Center for the Study and Practice of Violence Reduction explains what Boston is doing right. Plus, noted nutrition expert, Michael Jacobson reveals his latest project, The National Food Museum, to promote critical thinking about food's impact on health, the environment, farm animal welfare, social equity, global and domestic hunger, and how the food industry and politics affect what we eat.Thomas Abt is the founding director of the Center for the Study and Practice of Violence Reduction (VRC) and an associate research professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice. Professor Abt is the author of "Bleeding Out: The Devastating Consequences of Urban Violence—and a Bold New Plan for Peace in the Streets" His work is cited in academic journals and featured in major media outlets, both print and video. His TED talk on community violence has been viewed more than 200,000 times.Here's the important thing to remember. It's not just about police, and it can't just be about police… It's also important to have balance… So, while you're engaging these high-risk individuals, these people who are most likely to shoot or be shot, you need to back up those warnings of enforcement with offers of support and services. And that's something that's happening in Boston.Thomas AbtWhen you look at correlations between the restrictiveness of state laws and about how many guns there are, it's about the access to guns. And when access to guns is particularly easy, that's when you have higher rates of violence. Now, in D.C. they have restrictive gun laws, but they're closer to states that have much more permissive laws, particularly in the South. And no city is an island.Thomas AbtWhile you're hearing a lot of fear mongering out there about violent crime. The truth is that we have erased that massive surge that happened during the pandemic. And that's very good news.Thomas AbtMichael Jacobson holds a PhD. in microbiology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he co-founded and then led the Center for Science in the Public Interest for four decades. Dr. Jacobson is the author of “Salt Wars: The Battle Over the Biggest Killer in the American Diet.” And he is the founder of the National Food Museum.Some of the exhibits will focus on how healthier diets could improve our health, how better farming techniques could improve the climate. And there's that intersection between climate and health. I thought of making a cow a symbol for the museum. Or maybe an anti-symbol, because meat-eating is a major contributor to disease; and it's a major contributor to climate change and other environmental issues and animal welfare issues, of course. The museum will get into those.Michael JacobsonThere are so many fascinating issues related to food. You know, I think about the history of the human diet, going back to the Stone Age, say 10 or 12 ,000 years ago, and the future of the human diet. It would be wonderful to have an exhibit, showing how diet has changed and may well change in the next 75 years, when many kids just growing up will still be alive.Michael JacobsonAnd in addition to all the wonderful improvements that you're going to exhibit and inform people about once this museum gets underway, you want people to enjoy it and have fun. That's what you've always been about, Mike.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Franceso DeSantisNews 8/7/241. Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Walz who presided over the passage of an impressive list of progressive priorities in Minnesota, arrayed a broad coalition of Democratic leaders behind his bid for the VP slot, including organized labor, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. His key rival, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, faced increasing scrutiny over his support for anti-public school vouchers, his history of anti-Palestinian racism, and involvement with the shady cover-up in the death of Ellen Greenberg. AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler praised the selection of Walz, writing in a statement “By selecting Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, Kamala Harris chose a principled fighter and labor champion who will stand up for working people and strengthen this historic ticket.”2. In the UK, the new Labour government continues sending mixed signals on their Middle East policy. Last Friday, the Daily Mail reported the government had implemented a “secret arms boycott,” of Israel, supposedly “freez[ing] applications for new weapons export licences.” Yet on Monday, the Middle East Eye reported that the government has denied this report and maintains that “there has been ‘no change' in its approach to export licences.” The Guardian adds “Although [British] military exports to Israel were only estimated at £18.2m last year, an arms embargo is widely perceived as an appropriate and powerful means to register disapproval of Israel's actions towards the Palestinians.”3. The Canary, a left-wing British new outlet, reports “During the early hours of the morning of Tuesday 6 August, six Palestine Action activists were arrested after they broke inside and damaged weaponry inside the highly secured Bristol manufacturing hub of Israel's largest weapons company, Elbit Systems.” According to this report, the group “used a prison van to smash through the outer perimeter and the roller shutters into the building,” and “Once…inside, they began damaging…machinery and Israeli quadcopter drones.” As the Canary notes, “Elbit System…supplies up to 85% of Israel's military drones and land-based equipment.” Palestine Action issued a statement on this protest, writing “As a party to the Genocide Convention, Britain has a responsibility to prevent the occurrence of genocide. When our government fails to abide by their legal and moral obligations, it's the responsibility of ordinary people to take direct action.”4. Semafor reports “In January, The Wall Street Journal made an explosive claim: Quoting ‘intelligence reports,' the paper reported that not only had 12 members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, taken part in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, but 10% of the relief agency's 12,000 workers in Gaza had ties to militant groups.” Yet, “months later, the paper's top editor overseeing standards privately made an admission: The paper didn't know — and still doesn't know —whether the allegation, based on Israeli intelligence reports, was true.” As Semafor notes, the fact that this story was “based on information [the paper] could not verify is a startling acknowledgment, and calls into question the validity of the claims.” This unconfirmed story resulted in more than a dozen nations – among them the US, the UK, and Germany – freezing their funding for UNRWA, totaling $450 million.5. Federal News Network reports “The Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday approved… funding the Defense Department at $852.2 billion, a 3.3% increase over fiscal [year] 2024.” In other words, another year, another $10 billion for the Pentagon. In 2023, the Department of Defense failed its sixth audit in a row, per Reuters.In more positive news, this has been a banner week for consumer protection action at the federal level.6. On August 2nd, the FTC reported “On behalf of the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice sued video-sharing platform TikTok, its parent company ByteDance, as well as its affiliated companies, with flagrantly violating a children's privacy law—the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act—and also alleged they infringed an existing FTC 2019 consent order against TikTok for violating COPPA.” Specifically, “The complaint alleges defendants failed to comply with the COPPA requirement to notify and obtain parental consent before collecting and using personal information from children under the age of 13.” FTC Chair Lina Khan is quoted saying “TikTok knowingly and repeatedly violated kids' privacy, threatening the safety of millions of children across the country…The FTC will continue to use the full scope of its authorities to protect children online—especially as firms deploy increasingly sophisticated digital tools to surveil kids and profit from their data.”7. On August 1st, the Consumer Product Safety Commission ruled that online retail titan Amazon qualifies as a “distributor” and “therefore bears a legal responsibility for recalling dangerous products and informing customers and the public,” per NPR. This report continues to say this decision “stems from a lawsuit filed by the CPSC against Amazon in 2021 over a slew of [unsafe] products offered on the retailer's platform… [including] children's sleepwear that didn't meet federal flammability standards, carbon monoxide detectors that failed to detect carbon monoxide and sound their alarms, and hair dryers that didn't protect against electrocution when immersed in water. Amazon sold more than 418,000 units between 2018 and 2021.” Teresa Murray, consumer watchdog director at U.S. PIRG is quoted saying “This order is about making sure Amazon is just as accountable as every other company that sells products to consumers who often think that if something is for sale, it must be safe.”8. AP reports “Coca-Cola…said Friday it will pay $6 billion in back taxes and interest to the Internal Revenue Service while it appeals a final federal tax court decision in a case dating back 17 years.” This lawsuit began in 2015 and centered around how the beverage giant “calculate[s] U.S. income based on profits amounting to more than $9 billion from foreign licensees and affiliates.” The company has been enjoying increased profitability this quarter, reportedly “boosted by product price increases.”9. “The D.C. attorney general is suing online ticket provider StubHub for allegedly adding surprise fees onto a needlessly long checkout process in violation of local consumer protection laws,” the Washington Post reports. Specifically, this suit alleges “StubHub deceives customers by offering them an incomplete price at first, then making them go through a purchase process that can involve more than 12 pages — with a timer to impart a sense of urgency — and adding extra fees.” The office of Brian Schwalb, the D.C. AG, alleges StubHub has “[extracted] an estimated $118 million in hidden fees,” from District consumers, using “drip pricing” – described by the FTC as “a pricing technique in which firms advertise only part of a product's price and reveal other charges later as the customer goes through the buying process.” This model is illegal under the District's Consumer Protection Procedures Act.10. Finally, “The Justice Department and several dozen state attorneys general won a sweeping victory against Google Monday as a federal judge ruled that the search giant illegally monopolized the online search and advertising markets over the past decade,” per POLITICO. In a lengthy ruling U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google “locked up some 90 percent of the internet search market through a partnership with Apple to be the default search provider in its Safari web browser, alongside similar agreements with handset makers and mobile carriers such Samsung and Verizon. Mehta also found that Google disadvantaged Microsoft in the market for ads displayed next to search results, allowing it to illegally dominate that market as well.” Judge Mehta further stated that “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly.” Attorney General Merrick Garland commented “This victory against Google is a historic win for the American people…No company — no matter how large or influential — is above the law. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously enforce our antitrust laws.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Earlier this week, Palestine Action YYT was named grand marshal of this year's Pride Parade. As part of that partnership, St. John's Pride will honour the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions List by cutting ties with businesses and organizations deemed to be complicit in violating Palestinian rights. Harvey's Home Heating pulled out and cancelled its sponsored pride event. For more on why St. John's Pride and Palestine Action YYT have joined forces, representatives from both groups joined us in studio this morning. Eddy St. Coeur is co-chair of St. John's Pride, and Nikita Stapleton is a member of Palestine Action YYT.

Pride events have always been rooted in protest. This year, St. John's Pride is putting political action front and centre. Palestine Action YYT will be the grand marshal of this year's Pride parade, and as part of the partnership between the two groups, St. John's Pride also agreed to cut ties with businesses on the Boycott Divestments Sanctions List. The CBC's Mike Moore spoke with the co-chair external for St. John's Pride, Eddy St. Coeur, who explained how the partnership with Palestine Action YYT came about.

With Palestine Action racking up the victories, it was high time that I spoke with veteran actionist Shibby about the network's mind blowing direct  action successes. We discuss the recent shutdown of a facility in Tamworth, the viral action that just took place in Scotland, and the high-level, low-level, and covert strategies that have been used by these brave activists. We also touch on the ongoing efforts to ban Palestine Action in the UK, and why such a ban will fail to prevent this network from continuing its righteous work. In addition to hosting Revolutionary Lumpen Radio, Shibby is a veteran activist with Palestine Action. We begin with the story of his radicalization.Get plugged in to Palestine Action, attend a trainingJoin the Palestine Action telegram channelFollow @pal_action on Instagram and twitterSubscribe to their newsletterSupport PA defendants and any actionists in jailThe Free Palestine Cocktail100 ml Watermelon Juice30 ml Lime Juice15 ml Simple Syrup (1:1 ratio) to tasteSmall pinch of salt25  ml green juice of choice (celery, apple, kale)Optional:25 ml Clear spirit like Mezcal, Tequila, Gin, Vodka, Arak, etc etc Watermelon slice for garnishFreeze a small layer of green juice in a glass ahead of time.

Lord Walney - or John Woodcock to you and me - is the unelected Lord who was appointed by the Tories as a life peer after he endorsed Boris Johnson, and then an 'independent advisor' on political violence.He's now trying to ban Palestine Action, and wants clampdowns on the right to protest, from the Palestinian movement to climate justice. But who is he? His links have been exposed - and it raises damning questions about our democracy.I'm joined by Palestine Action's Huda Ammori.

"Extreme protest groups" should be subject to strict new laws according to the government's independent advisor on political violence Lord Walney. This would include organisations like Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action whose members are willing to break the law to get their point across.   They might have restrictions placed on their ability to fundraise or assemble, according to extracts of a new report by Walney leaked to the press. But is this an appropriate way to deal with protests that may be disruptive, but which are essentially non violent? Adrian Goldberg talks to Gail Bradbrook is one of the founders of Exrtinction rebellion, who been found guilty of criminal damage as a result of her protests against HS2 and Barclays; and Francesca Cociani, a senior associate at  Hodge Jones & Allan, who regularly represents protestors in court.

Bryan is looking forward to seeing the new Jerry Seinfeld movie about Pop Tarts. Friday morning news montage. Palestine Action escalates its tactics in protests and riots around the country at college campuses. Anti-Israel protests are uniting sane people across the country to decry their cause. // Trump spoke again from a NY courthouse and noted new numbers on jobs and unemployment. // Campus crazies see everything through the lens of power, repression, and oppression.

Jewish organizer and activist Max Geller joins me to talk about the birth of new Palestine Action chapters around the world in response to the intensified genocide that has been raging for 4 straight months.As discussed in last year's episode featuring Jodie Jones, Palestine Action is a UK-based network of activists that has permanently shut down 2 arms factories and caused millions in damages to Israel's arms dealers. The main target of this network is Elbit Systems, which Max describes as the “most evil company in the entire world." Calls to Action:Follow Palestine action on Twitter and Instagram (UK, US, France, Italy, Scotland)Take a Palestine Action direct action trainingHelp provide arrestee, court, and prison supportDonate to their Legal Defense FundCocktail Pairing: The Direct Actionist45ml  Rye Whiskey22ml  Campari15ml   Cynar or bitter amaro8ml    Peaty Scotch (like Laphraig)Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with plenty of cubed ice until drink is properly diluted and chilled.

With each passing day, more Israeli bombs are falling on Gaza. Over a million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes. The world is bearing witness to a genocidal military campaign to clear out Gaza once and for all. As leaders in the west continue to stand by Israel's outrageous crimes, activists and people of conscience around the world are using direct action to take matters into their own hands and disrupt the war machine themselves. Palestine Action is one such group that is strategically targeting direct disruptive actions at production sites of Elbit Systems Ltd. and its subsidiaries. Elbit Systems is an Israel-based weapons technology and defense company supplying the Israeli military with the instruments of sophisticated carnage whose deadly force is being unleashed upon Palestinians as we speak. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Fergie Chambers, Max Geller, and Calla Walsh of Palestine Action.Read the transcript of this podcast here.

[A rebroadcast from June 2022] In this episode of Southpaw, Huda Ammori and AJ from Palestine Action join Sam for an overview of Palestine and how we got to now. They also discuss how Palestine is used as a lab to test weapons, the interconnected web of the weapons and surveillance industry, how the British Empire didn't die but changed roles, how there is no post-violence but only continuous violence for Palestinians, and why arms manufacturers need to be shut down. Content warning: things discussed are disturbing because the facts about Palestine are disturbing.
