On January 31, 2025, the British government led by Labor party leader Keir Starmer and its court will be putting anti-Zionist activist Tony Greenstein on trial under the Terrorism Act for supporting a proscribed organization.
Greenstein is a co-founder of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. He is also an author of many articles about the role of Zionism including the AFL-CIO supported Israeli Histadrut, the so called union federation which supports the apartheid regime with funding of the IDF for it’s crimes.

This attack on Greenstein is a major attack on democratic rights and other Palestine activists have been also been charged with crimes for opposing the genocide by Israel backed by the UK and military contractors.
He could face 14 years in jail under a law that is aimed at critics of the apartheid state of Israel.
The racist and Zionist state and their supporters around the world are working to make it a crime to criticize Israel and genocide and equate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism.
While these anti-Zionists in the UK are being prosecuted the targeting of journalists and the murder of over 140 in Gaza has been met with complicity with the UK and US government.
This is not only a threat in the UK, but France and Germany where anti-Zionists and trade unionists have been attacked and arrested by the police for peaceful protests against the US UK supported genocide.
It is an imminent danger in the US as well with the installation of a Trump fascist government.
They have threatened mass arrests and deportations of supporters of Palestine on campuses and in the streets. They are also introducing legislation to make it illegal to criticize Zionist Israel and its genocidal policies which are supported by both the UK and the US governments. These governments, politicians and billionaire class are the real supporters and funders of terrorism and genocide in Gaza and around the world.
We must stand now in defense of Greenstein and others who are facing criminal charges globally & must unite the US working class and unions to defend democratic rights and opponents of Zionism.

Release Palestinian journalist Ali Abunimah from Swiss detention
Award-winning Palestinian-American journalist and human rights defender Ali Abunimah, executive director of the media platform "Electronic Intifada", was violently and forcibly taken by unidentified individuals in civilian clothing while walking on the streets of Zurich on Saturday 25th January 2025. He is now held in administrative detention by the Zurich cantonal police who intend to deport him out of the country on Monday.
He was on his way to give a lecture on the history of Palestine, after another event he was going to deliver the following day was cancelled due to external pressure, following a defamatory article in a local newspaper baselessly accusing him of radical islamism and antisemitism. The cantonal police supposedly obtained a prohibition for him to enter the territory once he was already in the country, a decision which was not subjected to any legal review. Ali Abunimah was brutally abducted in violation of due process.
Ali Abunimah has not been convicted of any crime by Swiss authorities who have acted on baseless, defamatory accusations to repress free speech and prevent Ali from participating in the events.
This is not only an attempt to silence Ali Abunimah as an individual, but the manifestation of a wider campaign of repressing and intimidating those who dare speak up for for Palestinian human rights and against their genocide, fitting into a pattern of racism and islamophobia. A campaign by special interest groups and powerful institutions to silence the truth and deny the oppression of the Palestinian people, attacking free speech and waging a war on journalism.
We denounce these repressive tendencies and human rights violations and demand from the Swiss authorities:
the immediate release of Ali Abunimah from administrative detention by the Cantonal Police of Zurich;
the withdrawal of the prohibition of him entering the country that was issued by the Swiss Fedpol without any valid legal basis;
an apology and reparations by all relevant Swiss authorities to Ali Abunimah for arbitrarily detaining him;
an investigation into the procedure that led to this faulty decision by Fedpol and the Cantonal police leading to accountability for those responsible;
the strict compliance with human rights standards and in particular the guarantee to freedom of expression in Switzerland and an end to State repression of free speech.
Make sure to verify your email after signing the petition and to share it widely: it will be sent to relevant authorities by the end of next week.
For further action, send an email demanding Ali's release to the Department of Security of the canton of Zurich: ds [at] ds.zh.ch and read more info about the case on
