It's Official: Protesting War Is Terrorism!

About this episode

The Trump administration has designated the UK activist group Palestine Action as a "specially designated global terrorist organization," focusing on the group's property-damage campaigns against Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems. Jimmy points out how governments are increasingly broadening the definition of "terrorism" to encompass virtually any political activism, protest, property damage, and financial support the government objects to, raising concerns about free speech and government power. 

Jimmy also contrasts the treatment of Palestine Action with the changing U.S. designation of Syria as a state sponsor of terrorism after the country was taken over by a bona fide terrorist, while portraying Western policy toward Israel and Palestine as deeply inconsistent. Throughout, he connects these developments to broader concerns about political repression, surveillance, civil liberties, and the weaponization of terrorism designations.

Plus segments on Jimmy once again ratio-ing Andrew Wilson for pushing the phony Tyler Robinson narrative and a Florida town using fake Flock cameras to entrap an anti-surveillance activist for vandalism.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!
