A British judge has sentenced four Palestine Action protesters as terrorists, handing them custodial sentences ranging from four to eight years.
The unprecedented ruling came despite jurors convicting them of criminal charges not connected to terrorism during the prosecution.
On Friday, the presiding judge, Justice Jeremy Johnson, added a “terrorism connection” to their offences.
In a preliminary ruling in March 2025, Johnson found an “appearance” of a terrorism connection in the case, as he said the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting their access to weapons. This information was withheld from the jury who convicted them.
Daily reminder that the Middle East Eye refuses to disclose it’s owner, which is extremely suspicious. That’s because the Middle East Eye is directly run by Qatar’s embassy in London.
Next time, please at least quote The Guardian or another British media outlet.

Jesus christ, every time with this guy. Can you please try not to be so fucking obvious? The guardian is just as biased as MEE, the only difference is that their bias is in favor of Israel instead. You sound like a raging islamophobe btw.
The OWNER has been disclosed, it’s the source of FUNDING being obscured. But considering who owns it, the Qatari connection absolutely makes sense:

So who is Jamal Awn Jamal Bessasso? Well…
Former director of planning and human resources for Al Jazeera in… wait for it… Qatar.
Al Jazeera, as good as they are, has a notable blind spot with Qatar due to THEIR funding, most folks recognize that, so it makes sense MEE would be the same.
This doesn’t mean either source is necessarily out of line when reporting non-Qatari interests, but definitely grain of salt worthy otherwise.
Are you suggesting Middle East Eye is secretly run by Zionists or Israel itself in an effort to further drive antisemitism? Similar to the way Evangelical Christianity grows stronger the more its adherents feel persecuted, one of the goals of Zionism is to increase antisemitic sentiment to make more Jewish people feel they have no safe place in the world other than to move to Israel? Interesting, I hadn’t considered this. /s?
Is Israel committing genocide?
yes
Citation needed.
Also, please elaborate on exactly why, even if it were true, that would be so fucking scary.
News is the UKs worst export and that’s fucking saying something.
And so you post a trash rag owned by a shady zionist shell corporation?
Exactly, The guardian isnt much better.
Isn’t qatar a big ally of UK?
