Summary
Say these three words in Britain today and you could face up to 14 years in prison. The words are: "I support Palestine Action." Following the group's proscription under UK terrorism law, expressing support can now constitute a serious criminal offence. This week on The Tea , we're joined by Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori to examine one of the most controversial political decisions in modern Britain. Why has Palestine Action been placed in the same legal category as ISIS and neo-Nazi organisations? And what does that mean for democracy, civil liberties and the future of political protest? From the Filton Four case to the government's use of counterterrorism powers, we ask: where is the line between criminal damage, civil disobedience and terrorism? Is this about protecting national security—or expanding the definition of terrorism to encompass political dissent? Also in the show: ⚡ How Palestine Action was formed: Ammori’s path to direct action ⚡ Can BDS change the system? The power of political campaigning ⚡ Is Palestine treated differently? Zionist influence in British politics ⚡ The Filton Four case explained ⚡ From Greta Thunberg to Massive Attack: the policing of dissent ⚡ Arms companies, accountability and the ethics of activism 👉 Subscribe for independent, unfiltered conversations 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #HudaAmmori #PalestineActionBan #Gaza #PoliticalActivism #BDS #IsraelPalestine #Protest DISCLAIMER: Nothing in this video, nor in any associated social clips, should be interpreted or deemed to constitute support for, endorsement of, or affiliation with any proscribed organisation.
