The UK is pulling out all the stops to persecute a pro-Palestine activist group, including blanket gag orders and courtroom deception.

Imagine you know about a brutal gang of serial killers openly committing one sadistic crime after the other. Imagine you recognize your obvious moral obligation to do something to stop or at least impede these crimes as best you can, but
your country's morally perverse and politically corrupt authorities are in cahoots with the murderers, so you cannot simply call the police.
Indeed, if you try to resist the killers and their accomplices, the police and state prosecutors will relentlessly go after you instead of them, and in effect, protect the criminals. Imagine, finally, that while you cannot strike the killers directly, you can make committing their heinous crimes harder for them by disrupting their business activities and alerting the public to their scandalously uninhibited activities and shocking power in your society.
That is the situation in which the activists of the British direct-action group Palestine Action find themselves. Except it is even worse than the schematic thought experiment sketched above, because, in reality,
we are not speaking about a gang of serial killers but a whole state. Small but extremely aggressive and far too well armed - including with entirely 'rogue' nuclear weapons - that state is committed to a relentless agenda of
proudly announced (Amalek and all that)
genocide and
gleeful ethnic cleansing,
systematic torture and
sexual violence on a mass scale, ceaseless territorial aggression (attacking
more countries last year than any other country on the planet), ethnic (in this case Jewish) supremacist racism and apartheid as
anchored in its laws, and the conquest of 'lebensraum' (a term
let slip in that state's own mainstream media).
And that monster of a state is closely, almost symbiotically allied, even capable of intermittently dominating the single most powerful country on the planet, which also happens to hold international law and basic ethics in open contempt - the US. That state, in addition, has extraordinary and nefarious influence in many other countries of the West, that odd place so proud of its 'values' and so complicit in genocide at the same time.
Palestine Action, in short, is up against Israel and its form of internationally virulent fascism - Zionism.
