UK court hears Jewish anti-Zionist activist invited support for Hamas after Oct. 7
During the hearing, lawyers detailed the posts, including one in which Greenstein allegedly wrote, "Please share. Full support for the Gaza ghetto uprising."
A UK court heard allegations on Tuesday that Tony Greenstein, a prominent Jewish anti-Zionist activist, encouraged support for Hamas on October 7, 2023. Greenstein, a founding member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, was charged under the Terrorism Act 2000 for allegedly posting on his X/Twitter account on the day of the Hamas-led attack on Israel.
Prosecutors claim that Greenstein's posts encouraged support for Hamas and contained links to a blog that defended the attack. However, Greenstein's defense argues that the statements were part of political expression and legitimate commentary on the Middle East conflict. The trial continues as the court examines the specific wording of the posts and the context in which they were shared.
