Retired Jewish professor Haim Bresheeth, a child of Holocaust survivors and founder of the Jewish Network for Palestine, was arrested under a UK anti-terrorism law after speaking at a recent pro-Palestinian protest in London.

The UK supports another genocide, surprising no one.
Nazi country
“Released without charge”
Nazis do a lot of that?
Edit. Look at all you people downvoting me because you want to believe the Nazis weren’t that bad and would let people go without charge. Shame on you.
Should never have been arrested to begin with.
Arresting innocent people to intimidate them is a staple move.
Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and “terrorism”. People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They’ll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.
Literally a signature of the School of the Americas playbook.
Holocaust survivor tag aint gonna do shit when you are facing Zionists

What did he say?
You can watch the video can get an unbiased account including intonation, expressions, and gestures.
From what I understand, it seems like him saying how Israel hasn’t and cannot defeat Hamas and Hezbollah has been interpreted as being support for both groups, which are designated as terrorist organisations by the UK. That’s the grounds for the arrest.
Gotta love how western regimes are dropping the whole pretense of having human rights and freeze peach.
looking at a Jewish guy thinking “well the antisemitism charge isn’t going to stick…”
Then having the brainwave:“wait, antizionism,
is this… terrorism?!?”
Oh look, the overreaching anti-terrorism laws are being used to silence anyone who disagrees with the government. That’s definitely not something anyone saw coming
