Craig Murray: The Terrifying Case of Natalie Strecker

2 Dec 2025

The prosecution explicitly stated, and the judge notably intervened to make sure
that everybody understood, that it is the offence of supporting terrorism to
state that the Palestinians have the right to armed resistance in international
law.

Judge John Saunders interrupted the prosecution to ask whether they were saying
that he would be guilty of support for terrorism if, in a lecture, he told an
international law class that Palestinians have the right to armed resistance in
international law.

After some kerfuffle when faced with such an awkward question, the prosecution
replied that yes, it could be the offence to tell law students that.

Upside-down world. International law is now illegal and, of course, anti-semitic.

The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide.
Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

She's been acquitted

Turns out the judge's reading of "strict legal principles" was principled!

"He said the trial is a 'clear warning... not to cross the line'."

Hmmm, trying to style an acquittal as a conviction.

I take it back - the judge isn't that principled, blathering on about on non-violent resistance (nm)

Can't find the full judgment (the link mentioned below is paywalled) but from this summary it was pretty dreadful, the operative phrase being 'capable in the Court’s view of being construed as inviting support for Hamas and Hezbollah':

*****

https://www.bailiwickexpress.com/news/breaking-palestine-activist-cleared-of-terrorism-charges/

After a four-day Jurat trial in the Royal Court, Ms Strecker was found not guilty this morning.

Explaining their verdict, the Royal Court said that Ms Strecker was someone of “good character” who had been “particularly moved by the suffering of those who live and have died in Gaza”, having previously been to Palestine and witnessed the “suffering of both adults and children”.

They added that this “compassion and frustration at the continuing violence has led her to make unwise statements on social media, which are capable in the Court’s view of being construed as inviting support for Hamas and Hezbollah”.

However, they said that “of itself is not enough to make her guilty of these offences”.

They said they were satisfied she had said “extreme things” which were not meant “in a literal sense”.

*****

I interpret the 'good character' part to mean that if she hadn't been white and middle class they would have sent her down, and they're just waiting for the opportunity to do a social media trawl and put all the troublesome brown people and genuine lefties through non-jury trials and put them in prison for 10 years. And we're supposed to worry about Reform bringing in fascism? This is all so f*ed...

These days etc.

Yeah, "died in Gaza"...that sums up the spinelessness of the Royal Court.
Can't bring themselves to say "genocided", "murdered" or even "killed".
They just "died".
Harold Pinter comes to mind.

https://www.jerseylaw.je/judgments/Pages/Search.aspx?q=natalie%20strecker

It currently only shows a prior Court of Appeal judgement and another where she gave the defendant a character reference...

I've been refreshing it since this morning.

One of the oldest transparent media manipulations has been universally in evidence in connection with our new de-jurification of the court system: the one where the reporter turns into a stenographer/propagandist by way of pretending to have knowledge concerning someone's feelings, inner states, beliefs, wishes and intentions. Thus the latest Starmer/Lammy act of constitutional slash-and-burn has been relentlessly credited with the 'aim' of reducing the case backlog. This is how you know you're in the presence of something bad that the Establishment news media unambiguously support: no-one raises any doubt about whether the ostensible intention might not be the real intention. And who, after all, could object to 'just wanting to get more cases heard'...?

Whereas for me, it's pretty apparent that the real 'aim' of this move (along with digital ID, not even hinted at in the manifesto...) is to enable this disgusting government to have a team of bewigged, sour-faced authoritarians rubber-stamping life-destroying convictions onto every kind of protestor (genocide, climate, corruption...) at a rate of 500 a day. You'll note that one of Leveson's valuable suggestions got kicked into touch right away: the idea that two magistrates should sit with the jury-less judge in order to provide some balancing moiety of lay input. Not required, it seems...
