Palestine Action: Final Statement Before Proscription
DESPITE OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO STOP THE PROSCRIPTION OF PALESTINE ACTION, THE BAN WILL COME IN AT MIDNIGHT
In five years, we have managed to build a direct action movement which successfully disrupted and challenged the Israeli weapons industry. Through relentless actions and the willingness to sacrifice our liberty, we’ve forced shut three Israeli weapons factories, pressured over a dozen companies to cut ties with Elbit Systems and cost the Israeli weapons maker £billions in lost contracts. The most important victory is building an effective global movement in service of the Palestinian people.
It’s clear, we were too effective and the government had to impose the most draconian attack on civil liberties to please the pro-Israel lobby. They may be able to proscribe ‘Palestine Action’, but they can not stop direct action happening across the country in different forms. W

It’s clear, we were too effective and the government had to impose the most draconian attack on civil liberties to please the pro-Israel lobby. They may be able to proscribe ‘Palestine Action’, but they can not stop direct action happening across the country in different forms. We are more than just a name, or a network, we are an idea that can never be stopped. To be clear, they can not proscribe the TACTIC of direct action for Palestine.
We are extremely grateful for all of the support we have received over the past few years, and the outpouring of solidarity since the intention to proscribe us was announced. This proscription CAN NOT go unchallenged, and we are pleased to see many who are adamant on resisting the ban through a campaign of civil disobedience.
Breaking unjust laws is a moral duty. Unaffiliated campaign groups, Defend Our Juries and ‘we do not comply’ (wedonotcomply.org), will lead on defiance of the ban and resist the extreme counter-terror laws imposed on all of us. It is a given that there will be resistance.
However, we are also aware that anyone, knowingly or mistakenly, could be committing a terrorist offence just by liking or sharing our social media posts, if they are a British national or are in the ‘United Kingdom’. This could lead to vulnerable communities being harassed and targeted by the state. Whilst we encourage and support a campaign of civil disobedience, all who take part must do so on an informed basis. That’s why our social media will be taken down. For clarity, Palestine Action is ONLY proscribed in Britain.
Many will be rightfully angry at the imposed proscription of Palestine Action. However, with repression always comes more resistance. This is a moment that the British state will likely come to regret. It’s a signal to all of us who are willing to resist, to make the ban unenforceable.
We must resist for our own rights and most importantly, for the Palestinian people facing a genocide. We are all Palestine Action isn’t just a slogan, it’s a state of resistance.
COLLECTIVELY, WE WILL RESIST AND ULTIMATELY, WE WILL WIN

I feel like if this wasn't created by one of the worst people on earth I would applaud the effort. I like the idea of the two parties being unable to just assume the support of their base because the other party is so far away politically, but I am sure this will end up just being Elon's personal prejudices and priorities.
It will be wrong when it happens, but I'm still going to cackle like a madman when he gets deported. It's like he's TRYING to cheese Trump off enough to make it happen.
good. This far Musk’s life experience is there are no consequences to spouting his mouth off with no filters. If he pisses Trump enough, he will learn this is not true. It’s likely he committed immigration fraud in the 90s, that is routinely used to strip brown people of their naturalization citizenship. People like Bannon are pushing to make an exception for that specific white man, denaturalize and deport him. The prospect of an apartheid supporter being shipped back to South Africa is a bonanza of schadenfreude by anticipation.

In addition to the tanks, the Resistance fighters also struck an armored personnel carrier with a Yassin 105 shell.
When Zionist rescue forces arrived at the scene, they were attacked with light and medium machine gun fire, the Brigades pointed out.
During the operation, al-Qassam fighters observed the landing of helicopters conducting an evacuation that lasted several hours.
The Brigades also reported a second operation on Friday, in which its fighters targeted another Zionist armored personnel carrier using a Yassin 105 shell on al-Bi’ah Street in central Khan Younis.
Al-Quds Brigades documents complex, top-tier operation in al-Shuja’iyya
Meanwhile, the al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement, released footage on Friday documenting a complex and top-tier operation its Resistance fighters conducted on Wednesday in the eastern al-Shuja’iyya neighborhood of Gaza City.
The al-Quds Brigades operation targeted Zionist military vehicles and soldiers, as well as homes where occupation forces had taken cover, engaging in direct confrontations at close range.
The commander of the operation reported that the Zionist soldiers showed no initiative or response, resorting only to screaming and fleeing without returning significant fire toward the Resistance fighters.
He added that the fighters encountered charred bodies of officers and soldiers, confirming that 40 Zionist soldiers were either killed or wounded, and stated that the occupation continues to lie and conceal its losses as it always does.
Yemen launches ballistic missile in solidarity
Zionist air defenses scrambled to intercept a ballistic missile launched from Yemen over occupied Palestine early Sunday.
At 2:45 am (local time), the Zionist military command warned that a missile was launched from Yemen, later announcing that its air defenses successfully intercepted it. Sirens sounded in settlements in the southern occupied West Bank as well as some settlements near the Dead Sea.
The strike comes as Yemen reiterates its military support for Gaza, vowing continued operations until the aggression ends.
Yemenis affirm their continued support for Palestine
On Friday, the Yemeni governorates of Saadah, Raymah, and Marib witnessed massive rallies in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance and in solidarity with the Gaza Strip under the slogan: “Steadfast with Gaza, prepared and mobilized in the face of aggression.”
Participants raised slogans affirming Yemen’s unwavering support for Palestine, in light of the ongoing Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, emphasized the continuation of the Yemeni ban on Zionist shipping, affirming its success and praising Yemen’s ability to continue the battle.

Two pictures from my backyard today. First one is a large bloom from my #hydrangea bush. I have two bushes and they both struggled a lot this year for some reason. This is from the one that seems a bit stronger. The second picture is flowers of a variety that I can’t remember right now. It does not look great in the picture, but I’m very excited because the same plant only had 2 or 3 blooms last year and was maybe a 1/3 of the size. So I’m very happy with its progress this year.
Also, while checking on my flowers, I discovered that bees may be living in a stack of cinder blocks that form the base for my rain barrel. This is based on seeing 3-4 bees flying into/out of openings between the blocks. This freaked me out immensely. @ai6yr, any suggestions? Do I let them be? Do I call someone? 🐝
