A Journalist in the United Kingdom has been arrested for Criticizing Israhell.

@Burnley123 Absolutely, look what they did to Jeremy Corbyn sadly your media is hijacked like mine here in the States. It's mostly pure fake news. I don't listen to it even for the Weather Channel. We have gone full 1984 here in Neolibia.

And I completely forgot about AIPAC not being a global entity. It just feels that way, because in a way they are. Not in an antisemitic sence like saying "Jewish People control the World," but in the sense that I think Israel does control the world. Full stop.

@GeistInTheMachine Our mainstream media is actually worse than in America.

Our print media is owned by rightwing oligarchs and our broadcast media is relentlessly pro establishment.

It's tragic what happened to Corbyn and people here need to wake up.

@Burnley123 1984 come to life. Very sad state of affairs indeed.

@sarabee1995 I disagree because it's not absolute free speech. I am a free speech absolutist apart from hate speech and calls to violence and yelling fire in a crowded building. And in the UK they just arrested a journalist for speaking out against israel and reporting to well on what they are doing and amassing a strong following. Also in America Illhan Omar gets death threats and is censured by congress for speaking out for Palestine and our congress is sold out to Satanyahoo. Finally, teachers are persecuted and lose their job for supporting and promoting BDS on their own time in some states. In Germany it's the same but worse. So don't tell me the west has free speech it is two tiered policing depending on the side you're on and who is in power and your race. Also especially if you're black and in congress you get run out unfairly for supporting Palestine or opposing Israel even if you oppose Radical Islamic Terror and all forms of terror. So it's LIMITED Free Speech, not proper representation. And we are all being taxed to death in the west and the middle class is shrinking. This all has naturally a chilling effect. Can you tell me why I'm wrong or why you disagree please?

@BritishFailedAesthetic Cool. Good think the anglo saxon empire is collapsing and we will be able to have that one day.

@GeistInTheMachine Have what? Who has what?

@BritishFailedAesthetic Free speech.

@Spotpot He's the Prime Minister and rabid Ultra-Zionist and he so far is allowing an environment where if someone speaks out against genocide in the free press they lose their freedom.

That has a chilling effect on people and Palestinian voices. It's wrong.

And what's next? If a British citizen has an opinion against Israhell it's basically a thought crime and they get arrested?

This is rigged, managed authoritarian Neoliberal "Democracy" in action.

@GeistInTheMachine Explain?

According to what I read, he has spent more time talking about his experience in jail than reminding us of the genocide in Gaza. I do not disagree with his stance, but he is behaving like a child, not a man. Jail is not that bad. You are only there for a day or so. I have been arrested three times. Thousands of people like him across UK are arrested for exercising their speech in a way others don't like. There are some who receive sentences in prison for it. He spent one night in jail, and may not be convicted of anything.
