Long before the current Gaza genocide began in October 2023, British state repression deployed the falsehood that all Jews are Zionists to intimidate pro-Palestine politics through the criminal law, e.g. as hate speech.
In recent months it has banned Saturday protests anywhere near synagogue services (especially near the BBC’s London HQ) and threatened criminal penalties against any defiance. Now a draft Bill would authorise the Home Office to ban protest near any ‘place of worship’, in a context where such objections have come mainly from pro-Israel spokespersons for synagogues. This agenda helps to protect many agents of the state’s racist, genocidal agenda against the Palestinians.
How can we best fight this threat?
