    ‘The trial of the century for freedom of expression.’

    For the last three years, Rima Hassan has watched in horror as thousands of people have been killed in her family’s homeland. The French jurist and La France Insoumise (LFI) MEP, who was born stateless in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria, is one of France’s most outspoken critics of both Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the complicity of Europe’s governments.

    Now, she could be sent to prison over a post on social media.

    In March, Hassan posted a quotation on X/Twitter attributed to Kōzō Okamoto, a member of the Japanese Red Army who took part in a 1972 attack on an Israeli airport in which 26 people were killed.

    “I gave my youth to the Palestinian cause,” Okamoto’s quotation read. “As long as there is oppression, resistance will not only be a right, but a duty.”

    Far-right National Rally politician Matthias Renault, interior minister Laurent Nuñez and two French pro-Israel lobby groups reported Hassan to prosecutors for apologie du terrorisme (the glorification of terrorism) – a criminal offence. Hassan denied the charges and said her main goal had been to share a quotation about the “philosophy of resistance”, and that she couldn’t be accused of glorifying terrorism for doing so.

    Hassan’s trial began on 19 October. If found guilty, she could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison and fined €100,000 under French law. Her situation, she said, is the latest in a series of legal and political battles in France over solidarity with Palestine.

    “People who stand in solidarity with Palestine are labelled as terrorists because it [this label] is the only instrument that allows them to silence concrete opposition and activism,” Hassan told Novara Media ahead of her trial.

    This isn’t the first time the French state has brought the full force of its institutional machinery against Hassan. 22 legal proceedings have been initiated against her in the last two years in connection with her political views (six have been closed by prosecutors without questioning, 13 after questioning and three remain open). In September, a separate trial in relation to two social media posts from 2025 was adjourned.

    British universities and security networks coordinated with government officials and private intelligence, Amnesty International says

    British universities worked together to suppress pro-Palestine activism on student campuses, a new report has revealed.

    Amnesty International on Tuesday published its Silencing Dissent report, which found that UK universities actively worked together to stop students protesting their universities’ ties to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

    Freedom of Information (FOI) disclosures examined in the report found that universities “were not acting in isolation when responding to Palestine solidarity protest, but are operating within a network which encouraged repressive responses”.

    FOI-obtained messages showed university administrators discussing disciplinary measures, including injunctions to stop protests and referring student protesters to the UK’s Prevent counterterrorism programme.

    …

    The report notes that at least nine universities received threat briefings from private intelligence firms, including Horus Security Consultancy Ltd, Mitie Intelligence Hub and the risk specialist Global Situational Awareness (GSA).

    Intelligence updates routinely classified non-violent student actions with severe threat levels.

    ‘They will not shut me up.’

    …

    Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for Norwich South, revealed that he had received a letter from Palantir’s new UK senior VP, Tom Watson, warning him that the company was surveilling his activities relating to Palantir last month. Lewis described this as “very Big Brother” and an “implicit threat”. 

    Watson is a former minister and Labour party deputy leader who now sits in the House of Lords, alongside his Palantir job. 

    Lewis told Novara Media the Mosley letters in June indicate that Palantir was panicking as the Starmer administration crumbled. “They put all their eggs in one basket with Starmer, and then the writing on the wall was that he wasn’t going to be around much longer.” 

    Corbyn has repeatedly questioned the wisdom of using Palantir’s tech in the NHS, given the company’s role in supplying military tech to the IDF during the genocide in Gaza and surveillance tools to ICE as it conducts brutal a [sic] immigration crackdown in the US.

  • Israeli forces begin demolishing Palestinian buildings in Hebron after two Israeli soldiers shot dead

    Diggers were seen demolishing Palestinian homes on Friday afternoon

    The Israeli military has begun demolishing Palestinian buildings in the city of Hebron, after two Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack by two Palestinian gunmen.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military would “destroy” the neighbourhood where the two attackers came from, and that Israel was ready for “extensive action” in the occupied West Bank.

    Three other soldiers were wounded in the attack at a checkpoint outside Hebron, before the gunmen were shot dead, officials say.

    It comes at a time of high tensions, with extremist Jewish settlers targeting Palestinians during the annual olive harvest, and Israel’s general election taking place in four days’ time.

    Footage verified by the BBC shows an intense gun battle between soldiers and the gunmen. Other footage shows two gunmen exit a car armed with what appears to be a handgun and an assault rifle and start firing on soldiers at the checkpoint, before coming under return fire.

    …

    Speaking later from the scene, Netanyahu said that the military would “demolish this place and completely transform it,” referring to the Hebron neighbourhood where the attackers are said to have come from.

    It is common for Israeli forces to demolish the homes of Palestinians who are suspected of carrying out attacks on Israelis -a practice Israeli rights groups have criticised as collective punishment.

    Netanyahu likened his plans to previous operations in West Bank refugee camps where residential buildings were demolished and thousands were displaced.
