“Israel has not achieved any of its declared aims, either in Gaza in Lebanon in, in Iran or anywhere else,” Bresheeth said in his speech.

“What has it achieved? Murder, mayhem, genocide, racism, destruction, this is what they’re good at,” Bresheeth said. “But they cannot fight the resistance, they have lost every single time.

“They cannot win against Hamas, they cannot win against Hezbollah, they cannot win against the Houthis. They cannot win against the united resistance to the genocide they have started.”

The police spokesperson said that the force is engaged in a “constant balancing act” and that it was acting to “prevent intimidation and serious disruption to communities.”

Bresheeth was released without charge on 2 November, after spending a night in custody, but remains under investigation.

The Jewish academic's arrest follows a series of raids and arrests targeting pro-Palestinian activists and journalists under anti-terror legislation.

In October, counter-terrorism police raided the home of journalist Asa Winstanley as part of an investigation under the Terrorism Act into his social media activity.

On 15 August, journalist Richard Medhurst was detained under section 12 of the Terrorism Act on arrival in the UK, allegedly in connection with his reporting on Palestine.

Less than two weeks later, pro-Palestine journalist Sarah Wilkinson was arrested by masked counter-terrorism police in a dawn raid on her home for allegations relating to content she had posted online.

Paul Treanor was right.

[Propertarians] say [that] they favour political freedom. But even to simply enforce the outcome of the market, the apparatus of a state would be necessary — an army to prevent invasions, a police force to suppress internal revolt, a judicial system. Most [propertarians] go much further: they want a [propertarian] régime. Some of them have written complete and detailed constitutions. But like any state, a [propertarian] state will have to enforce its constitution — otherwise it will be no more than a suggested constitution.

Even if the state is founded on the planet Mars (as some [propertarians] suggest), someone else with different ideas will probably arrive sometime. The [propertarian] constitutions might work in a freshly established [propertarian] colony, inhabited only by committed [propertarians]. But sooner or later there will be an opposition, perhaps resolutely hostile to the founding principles. States, which fail to enforce their own political system against opposition to the state itself, ultimately collapse or disappear. If [propertarian] states want to survive in such circumstances, they will use political repression against their internal opponents.

In the case of [propertarianism] within existing states, the position is much clearer. There is no question of a fresh start with a fresh population. The [so‐called] Libertarian Party of the United States, for instance, seeks to impose [propertarianism] on the United States. It is an imposition, and can not be anything else. Unless they are prepared to accept the division of the country, they will have to deal with millions of anti‐[propertarians], who reject the régime entirely. They might call the riot police the Liberty Police, they might call the prisons Liberty Camps, but it's still not 'political freedom'.
