Jamal Rushdi, spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the Arab League, has expressed concern over the statement made by the leader of the British Conservative Party during a parliamentary session held yesterday to discuss the ceasefire agreement.

Rushdi stated that the statement contained several inaccuracies and clear bias against Palestinians. He pointed out, for example, that the British politician’s claims about the involvement of UNRWA in terrorism align entirely with the Israeli narrative on the matter. This narrative, he noted, lacks any factual basis and disregards the conclusive findings of a United Nations investigation, which highlighted UNRWA’s indispensable role in assisting Palestinian refugees.

The spokesperson added that it was regrettable that the opposition leader’s statement made no mention of the immense suffering of Palestinians caused by what he described as Israel’s unprecedented and brutal war of extermination. He said the statement reflected full alignment with Israeli in what he called a blatant act of bias.

Rushdi reaffirmed the Arab League’s appreciation for the stance of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, which, he said, demonstrates balance and a sincere desire to address Britain’s historical responsibility towards the Palestinian cause. This, he explained, includes recognising the State of Palestine and supporting efforts to create a credible and irreversible path towards establishing it.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

Defend Our Juries calls on supporters to skip street bail at next protest against Palestine Action ban

DEFEND our Juries has urged protesters to skip the “charade“ of street bail and withhold their details from police at the next mass demonstration against the Palestine Action ban.

The tactic aims to shift processing from the streets to police stations.

The protest group says the move will make it “practically impossible“ for police to arrest everyone, and opened up sign-ups today for a demonstration in London on September 6. Defend Our Juries said that it would only go ahead if 1,000 people had signed up. Over 2,500 people had already expressed interest in joining before the sign-ups opened.

Demonstrators will hold signs saying “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action,” in protest against the group’s ban following its designation as a terrorist organisation last month.

Membership of or support for the group is now a criminal offence, punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

Some 522 people were arrested at the last mass protest on August 9.

Defend Our Juries argues that this was only possible due to the use of “street bail,” which denies people access to immediate and free legal advice.

Spokesperson Tim Crosland said that if hundreds insist on their right to legal advice at a police station, “the charade will be exposed,” and it will be harder for officers to arrest all those taking part.

“Any law that is so obviously wrong that it meets mass public opposition quickly becomes unenforceable, as it was with the poll tax in 1990, and the government will have to scrap it,” he said.
