This report marks an important step, moving beyond calls for boycott and divestment toward direct legal action against the institutions and individuals that are fuelling Israel's crimes. This can be an effective approach and the genocidaires know it. The White House is now in.

Zionists are desperate to criminalise anti-Zionist speech because they realise that, after 630 days of live-streamed genocide, everyone can see it is a violent extremist ideology and people are turning against it in a massive way.
