Ok. Now confused. Maybe he’s not calling it out ? Is this just legal wording. Can any lawyer explain what he’s saying ?

Police reinforcements have arrived and they’ve already used brute force to try to push us back but we’re still here, and we’ll remain here until the detained person is released.

The new vogue on the British hard right for employing Holocaust revisionism in the service of anti-Palestinian racism is so despicable. All I can think of is the Walter Benjamin line that @BarnabyRaine quoted recently: "even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he wins".

The Nazis built the gas chambers because their officers were traumatised by shooting Jews. Hamas live-streamed their actions and gloated to their parents about the spoils of Jew murder. They are worse than Nazis, yet still, this is who people march for on the streets of Britain.

Sontag accepted the Jerusalem Prize in 2001, ignoring Edward Said's warning: "your acceptance of it is...a badly needed boost to [Israel's] poor international standing, a symbol that the greatest talents in the end subscribe to what Israel is doing".
