The Alaa Abd el-Fattah I know is a humanitarian

There is no doubt that my friend’s comments were reprehensible, but the tragic irony is that he was locked up for more than a decade for defending the very principles he is now accused of violating, says Peter Greste

I see that the hard right have decided to be upset that Egyptian revolutionary Alla Abd El-Fatteh once tweeted that we should kill all cops and Zionists.

I do think that something strange has happened to mainstream discourse. They are really scared of dissent. Nobody thinks that these tweets are a problem. Everybody, or almost everybody, thinks that lethal violence (killing) is justified in some circumstances, against some agents.

The British government flies reconnaissance flights over Gaza to support Israel in their war against Hamas (in reality to facilitate the complete destruction of Gaza). They think that in the circumstances people must be killed. It is not a radical position. The difference between Badenoch and El-Fatteh is who they want dead. (I would be very surprised if Kemi opposed the US killings in Nigeria).

This faux outrage serves only one purpose. It is to crush dissent. The Palestine solidarity movement with its call to globalise the intifada terrifies those in power. They know that there is a growing anti-colonialist movement that has serious revolutionary potential and they are scared. It must be deligitimised.
