In the wake of the Natalie Strecker prosecution, despite her acquittal, we need to grapple with the following:
The British state considers it unlawful to repeat what international law explicitly states: that occupied peoples like the Palestinians have a right to resist their illegal occupation.
That means:
a) The Starmer government openly rejects international law.
b) The Starmer government can scrap free speech and the right to protest – the bare minimal foundations of a democracy – whenever it chooses.
We must conclude that we now live in a fledgling police state, that the number of political prisoners is going to grow rapidly, and that the room for dissent is going to shrink further and further.
This isn't a matter of right or left, if you care about democratic rights. It isn't just about Israel's slaughter of the Palestinian people either.
We will have to unite across the political divide – a sham divide constructed by the class that rules over us all – if there is to be any hope of regaining what is being stolen from us.
