Supporters outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court, London, where Stop the War Coalition Chair Alex Kenny and CND general secretary Sophie Bolt are due to appear charged with a public order offence during a pro-Palestinian rally in London on January 18

Supporters gather outside court as Palestine protest organisers pleaded not guilty to charges

SUPPORTERS gathered outside the Westminster Magistrates’ Court today as Palestine protest organisers pleaded not guilty to charges, highlighting that they are “the accusers, not the accused.”

Stop the War Coalition chairman Alex Kenny and Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament general secretary Sophie Bolt are accused of failing to comply with conditions imposed by the Metropolitan Police on a demonstration held on Whitehall on January 18.

The Met previously claimed that some protesters had attempted to breach the conditions by marching out of the agreed protest area.

Both campaigners confirmed their identities and entered not guilty pleas.

District Judge Nina Tempia granted them unconditional bail ahead of a two-day trial set for March 10 and 11 2026 at the City of London Magistrates’ Court.

…

On a small stage nearby, Mr Kenny quoted the Scottish socialist John Maclean, telling the crowd: “We stand here today as the accuser, not the accused, and we should always bear that in mind.

“We’re accusing the state of complicity in a genocide, and we don’t accept any wrongdoing or guilt on our part.”

He warned of a growing crackdown on protest rights, saying that there is a “concerted effort to squeeze our ability to speak up about Palestine.”

“We know that this is happening because we’ve built a mass movement that, despite the smears, lies and intimidation, will not be silenced and is not going away,” he said.

“We are the voice of majority opinion in this country, and history will prove us right and our politicians wrong.”

Calling for continued mobilisation, Mr Kenny urged people to join the next national demonstration on August 9.

Owen Jones: Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west’s help

The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along

…

Our own prime minister has been promoting airdrops of aid. These are pinpricks, badly targeted and have killed Palestinians when they’ve fallen on their heads. All they really achieve is cover for Israel, to pretend it is doing something, deflecting from its deliberate mass starvation. But what else should we expect from Starmer, who backed Israel’s right to impose a siege on Gaza at the beginning of the genocide, then tried to gaslight us into believing he hadn’t?

What have we done? If western elites had any shame, this question would be robbing them of sleep. And the answer would be straightforward. You facilitated the mass starvation of an entire people. You knew what was happening, because of a deluge of evidence for 21 months, and because the perpetrator – your friend – repeatedly boasted to the world about its crime. Alas, the architects of this abomination will not hold themselves to account. That will be left to history – and the courts.

Keir Starmer warns against following the https://onaquietday.org blog.

I noticed today that I have a link to Palestine Action on my blogroll. So I am aware of it and have decided not to ~~delete~~ remove it.

I would expect that this could be regarded as support for the banned under terrorism law group Palestine Action. I have a cat, which will present problems if I’m arrested without being able to arrange somewhere for him to stay, especially if I’m locked up for days. I can arrange to move him if I have a little notice.

Crisis in Gaza worsens as Israel maintains blockage on aid

Palestinians struggle to get donated food at a community kitchen, in Gaza City, northern Gaza Strip, July 26, 2025

THE crisis in Gaza continued to worsen today as Israel maintained its blockage on desperately needed humanitarian aid reaching starving Palestinians.

This comes as two Israel-based human rights groups accuse Israel of committing genocide.

Israel announced on Sunday that the military would put in place a “humanitarian pause” on its operations in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and Muwasi for 10 hours a day until further notice to allow for the improved flow of aid to Palestinians in Gaza, where concern over hunger has grown given the crippling blockade its military imposes on the territory.

But it said it would continue military operations alongside the new humanitarian measures. Agencies have welcomed the new aid measures, which also included allowing airdrops into Gaza, but say they were nowhere near enough to counter rising starvation.

Images of emaciated children have sparked international outrage, including from Israel’s allies.
