All Cops Are Bastards

“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.
