Nothing suggests systemic pro-Zionist bias in the British media more than the bizarre lack of reporting on the Palestine Action hunger strikes.

You REALLY need to watch and share this. The government is refusing to recognise the impending tragedy and the media are inexplicably staying silent. This is a desperate deciding moment as to whether our press is an independent pillar of democracy or complicit in this inexplicable lack of humanity.

Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial.

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.
How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard?

Terrorism arrests soar by 660% after Palestine Action ban
Official figures show 1,630, or 86%, of the 1,886 arrests for terrorism-related activity in the year to the end of September 2025 were linked to supporting the group.

We condemn the treatment of prisoners in British prisons on hunger strike awaiting trial for activities in support of Palestine. Many have been on remand for a year and are demanding a fair trial. Their health is deteriorating quickly, and they need urgent intervention.
