Trump’s desire to label ‘antifa’ as a ‘terrorist organization’ is not only important in the US: it has already inspired the same designation in the Netherlands and Hungary. Unfortunately more countries are likely to follow. #NoPasarán
The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

On Proscribing Palestine Action
In criminalising Palestine Action, the government is not only suppressing a political message but also protecting the economic and industrial interests tied to its defence strategy.

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.
Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.
