All of this seems very familiar. If pro-Israel groups in the UK can organise to game Eurovision, targeting a Palestinian professional over social media posts is trivial by comparison. The real problem isn’t the language, it’s the idea that objecting to #genocide has become something you can be prosecuted for.

Worth adding: from what I could understand so far, when the #MPTS independently reviewed #CAA’s complaint dossier in September and found it insufficient to justify suspension, they threatened judicial review to force a second hearing, which worked. Her defence counsel called it “a perversion of procedure, relitigating until those pressuring the GMC get the result they want.” #UKLFI, another complainant, is currently under Solicitors Regulation Authority investigation for legally intimidating Palestine advocates. Same playbook, different target.

UKLFI, established in 2011, describes its mission as countering the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (#BDS) movement and what it calls the “delegitimisation of Israel”.

The complaint includes eight threatening letters UKLFI sent to individuals and organisations between January 2022 and May 2025. They demonstrate a seeming pattern of vexatious and legally baseless correspondence, it aimed at silencing and intimidating Palestine solidarity efforts. ELSC and PILC obtained the letters with the consent of the organisations or individuals receiving them.

Breaking: Campaign Against Antisemitism faces regulatory action https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2025/11/06/campaign-against-antisemitism-faces-regulatory-action/

Anas Mustapha, Head of Public Advocacy at CAGE International, said:
[…] The CAA has long acted as a leading enabler of state-led repression against Britons who oppose genocide. It operates as an extension of the State of Israel, undermining fundamental freedoms by intimidating, accusing, and silencing those who challenge the apartheid settler-colonial regime. The Charity Commission must act decisively to prevent both the CAA and UKLFI from masquerading as charities before further damage is done to its own credibility and reputation.

This is being interpreted by some as the Lord Advocate deciding that the UK maladministration will lose their appeal in the High Courts in London, and not wanting to be embarrassed in the Sheriffs Court.

More than 3000 people are awaiting trial across the UK after Labour’s dumb decision to rate PA on par with violent terrorist groups overseas.

I think I understand what's going on with these fuckers: they are trying to establish that Palestine does not exist and neither does the Palestinian people and they will go to extraordinary lengths to do so.
