Former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett faces legal action in Brazil after the Brazil–Palestine Institute (IBRASPAL) submitted an official request to the federal judiciary calling for his arrest during his planned visit to São Paulo yesterday. His visit was scheduled for an event at what is known as the Hebraica Club of São Paulo, a Brazilian-Jewish social and recreational community centre.

The request is based on accusations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide against Palestinian civilians, particularly in the Gaza Strip.

In an interview with Quds Press, the institute’s president, Ahmed Shahada, said Bennett’s entry into Brazilian territory “opens a clear legal window that allows the state to take judicial action if suspicion of his involvement in serious international crimes is confirmed”. He added that Brazilian legislation, along with the country’s international commitments, gives the federal judiciary the authority to open investigations and pursue such cases.

Shahada explained that “the legal grounds for the arrest request are based on Brazil’s commitment to prosecuting major international crimes under its legislative framework”, noting that the incorporation of the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute into national law “allows investigations to be opened against anyone entering the country who is suspected of committing serious crimes”.

Experiencing issues with this image not appearing. I suspect because it's so critical of Zionist Keir Starmer's support of and complicity in Israel's genocides.

Lammy plans to scrap jury trials for most slammed as ‘assault on our rights’

DAVID LAMMY’S reported plans to scrap jury trials for all but the most serious offences are an “assault on our rights,” campaigners warned today.

The Justice Secretary has written to officials suggesting that only rape, murder and manslaughter cases might continue to be heard by juries as part of an overhaul of the court system, according to the Times.

In a memo cited by the paper, Mr Lammy, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, said there was “no right” to jury trials in Britain and argued that limiting them would not compromise the rights of suspects.

The proposal comes as ministers consider recommendations by Sir Brian Leveson on reforming the courts to cut the record backlog of crown court cases.

Downing Street said jury trials would “remain a cornerstone” of justice for the most serious cases but confirmed that the government was exploring whether some “need not be heard by a jury.”

dizzy: The last minute change of judges at the Palestine Action appeal suggests that manipulation of the judicial system is certainly possible. Is Lammy preparing for possible prosecution of himself and his colleges for war crimes and crimes against humanity, assisting and complicity in genocide? It’s worth considering his historical strong defence of the jury system.

Reacting to proposals from the Justice Secretary, David Lammy, to massively restrict the right to a jury trial, Green MP Siân Berry said:

“This is yet another assault on our rights from an increasingly authoritarian government. This proposal would scrap a fundamental cornerstone of our justice system which has been in place for 800 years. 

“For David Lammy to describe the right to trial by jury as ‘not a right’ is a disgrace. The Government must fund our justice system properly – not make people pay for Labour and Conservative austerity with their fundamental rights. The Green Party will fight these proposals all the way.”

Zarah Sultana: ‘We must fight, we must unite, we must win’

Original article republished from Socialist Worker

Zarah Sultana spoke to Socialist Worker ahead of the Your Party conference

‘Your Party must be explicitly socialist, anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist—and also as maximally democratic,’ she told Socialist Worker

Zarah Sultana issued a rallying call for the left to unite and fight ahead of the Your Party founding conference in Liverpool this weekend.

She told Socialist Worker, “Labour is plummeting in the polls because this government has failed the working class.

“It has failed to help people here at home—and it has alienated thousands if not millions by materially participating in the genocide in Gaza.

“Reform UK is exploiting that anger, but it’s just the establishment in disguise.

“Farage scapegoats migrants to distract from his neoliberal economic agenda.

“We have a duty to offer a real alternative. Your Party must be explicitly socialist, anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist—and also as maximally democratic.

“We must build a party robust enough to take on entrenched power and win.

“No more tinkering at the edges—we need to reconstruct our society from first principles. We need socialism.

“History will not forgive us if we fail to capitalise on this moment. The options are socialism or barbarism.

“We must fight, we must unite and we must win.”

Oxford Union votes that Israel poses ‘greater threat’ to regional stability than Iran

The Oxford Union, one of the world’s most renowned debating societies, has voted “overwhelmingly” in favor of a motion declaring Israel a greater threat to regional stability than Iran, following a heated debate featuring former Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and Geneva-based NGO UN Watch’s director Hillel Neuer, Anadolu reports.

The debate centered on the motion declaring that Israel is a greater threat to regional stability than Iran, as The Telegraph reported this weekend that the society members backed the proposition by a wide margin.

Speaking for the motion, Shtayyeh argued that Israel’s actions constitute the primary source of instability in the Middle East, describing it as “an expansionist colonial state established by colonial powers.”

He went on to call Israel a “pariah state” that “acts above the law,” alleging that it violates UN resolutions and enforces “a colonial regime based on apartheid against the Palestinian people.”

“Brutal occupation, crimes and genocide, … Israel is dragging the region into repeated conflicts,” he said, adding that some Israeli lawmakers believe the country’s borders should stretch “from the Nile to the Euphrates.”

“We all should say that Israel is the biggest cause of destabilization in the region,” he concluded.

Opposing the motion, Neuer insisted that Israel is not the destabilizing force in the region and accused Iran of arming militant proxies across the Middle East.

“Regional stability is measured by who starts wars, not by who stops them,” he said. “Israel does not arm terror proxies in five Arab countries – the regime in Iran does that.”

He cited the Iranian attack on Israel earlier this year involving drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, arguing that the coordinated response by several Arab states showed their alignment with Israel against Iranian aggression.

“You don’t intercept missiles heading towards a threat to regional stability – you intercept missiles from one,” he said.

The Oxford Union, founded in 1823, has become increasingly scrutinised over its Israel-related debates.

Last year, it passed another motion accusing Israel of being “an apartheid state responsible for genocide,” by 278 votes to 59.
