Attorney General assigns prosecution of Jewish Anti-Zionist activist to pro-Israel minister
Jewish anti-genocide activist Tony Greenstein will stand trial on January 5 for
comments he made on social media condemning Israel's actions in Gaza. Greenstein
expressed his support for Palestinians' right to armed resistance against
occupation, a right that is enshrined under international law. His trial,
however, is more than a legal matter - it is a reflection of the political
pressures surrounding his case, emanating from the British pro-Israel lobby.
Greenstein is not one to quietly accept the charges against him. These charges
have only fuelled his resolve to expose the extent of the Israel lobby's
interference in his case. The interference is quite significant. Attorney
General Richard Hermer transferred the decision to prosecute Greenstein to
then-Solicitor General Sarah Sackman, a former officer of the Jewish Labour
Movement (JLM) with close ties to the Israel lobby.
