Israeli Jewish anti-genocide activist Yael Kahn charged for describing Israel as ‘nazi’

Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert agreed with her this week but Starmer regime won’t let that interfere with his war on pro-Palestinian speech

UK-based Israeli Jewish anti-genocide activist Yael Kahn has been charged and will appear at Highbury magistrates’ court in London tomorrow for formal charging for saying “Nazi Israel” during a demonstration near far-right and shamelessly racist Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely’s London residence in January.

Kahn was arrested in January, released after almost twenty-four hours in police detention, then re-arrested in March for her speech against Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing of millions of innocent Palestinians in Gaza, crimes for which Israel’s PM is wanted by the International Criminal Court and which have been condemned as genocide by the United Nations and a host of national governments and human rights organisations.

Ehud Olmert, prime minister of Israel from 2006-9, this week compared Israel to the nazis for Netanyahu’s admitted plan to create concentration camps – ‘concentration’ is the term used by the Israeli government, not just its critics – into which hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians will be forced, with Netanyahu freely admitting last week that Israel will consider anyone who refuses to enter to be terrorists and kill them.

But that doesn’t appear to have cooled even slightly the determination of ‘Zionist without reservation’ to protect Israel from accountability by waging war on those – including many Jews – who speak out about, write about or protest against Israel’s endless war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinians, its murder of around 400,000 civilians in Gaza so far and its starvation blockade on 1.8 million survivors. The rights and freedoms of people in Britain, even when they are Israeli Jews, is a lot less important to the Starmer regime than shoring up the genocidal rogue state occupying Palestine.

  1. We seem to be in some rapidly moving mission creep.

    In the space of less than a fortnight, we’ve moved from a single organisation being proscribed as a terrorist entity to the expression of any inconvenient reality describing narrative being classed a terrorism.

    The manifestation of the “Ambient terrorism” charge has certainly not taken long to gestate.

    The present moment certainly makes this look dated:

    1. Yael is a very brave woman. And she is correct and I agree with her assessment of Nutteryahoo and his cronies as nazis. They announce criminal acts to the world with a flippancy that is mind blowing and almost incomprehensible.

  2. Heil fucking Hitler!

    Anyway, just happened to spot the following (when I went on to youtube to see if Dickey Betts first album is on there), posted 23 hours ago (at the time of typing):

    New Corbyn Party Could Already TIE With Labour – Bombshell Poll

    1. Here’s Richard J Murphy’s take on it:

      Will Labour enable neo-fascism?

      There are several key points to consider here.

      Firstly, I am old enough to remember other new parties receiving unprecedented levels of support like this, which makes me sceptical about the reliability of such indicators. Way back in the early 1980s, the Social Democratic Party received massive initial indications of support, and it won by-elections, and then faded into the Liberal Democrats. Others have followed a similar pattern since. I would not read too much into this indicated level of support for Jeremy Corbyn, as yet.

      Second, the sample size used in this study is small. Interviewing 650 voters is smaller than is typical in an opinion poll, which may bias the results.

      Thirdly, there is no good news here for any of the mainstream parties, including the smaller ones.

      Fourthly, the level of support for Reform when they are clearly unable to organise themselves, and have already lost two of the five MPs who were elected for the party last July, is quite extraordinary, but it would appear that the UK electorate (or at least a part of it) have suspended their disbelief with regard to this party, presuming that Nigel Farage walks on water.

      Fifthly, and most importantly, if Labour does not take this poll as the clearest possible indication that it must now take proportional representation seriously, then it will be failing everyone in this country.

      If this poll result were to be replicated in the general election, it is likely that Reform would win 500 or more seats on the basis of the support of around a third of the population who bothered to turn out to vote. There is no way in which it might be suggested that this could even approximate to democratic representation of the people of this country, but it would turn us into a neo-fascist state, with potentially irreversible consequences, and massive ill effects for millions of people across the UK, unless action is taken to prevent this.

      I am not denying people the right to vote for Reform. Let me be clear, if they are foolish enough to do so, that is their right. However, I believe that all our political parties should now align to prevent the possibility of fascism, and at the same time, ensure that there is fair and proper representation of the opinions of most people in the UK in the Parliament that is meant to represent them. That can only happen on the basis of a multimember constituency, single transferable vote, proportional representation system being used in this country.

      This would mean, on the basis of this opinion poll, that Reform might take one third, or even more, of the seats in Parliament, but it would also mean that they might have considerable difficulty in forming a government unless the Tories were so stupid as to enter into office with them.

      Again, I cannot preclude that, but the point I am making is that it is essential that steps now be taken to make sure that we do not march into neo-fascism because of the complete stubbornness of Labour and its belief that it has an absolute right to govern, every now and again, based on freakish first-past-the post electoral results, as happened in July 2024.

      Will Labour now step up to the mark and deliver electoral form? I don’t know, is the honest answer. But what I do know is that if they do not, they will, most definitely, be neo-fascist enablers.
