How the US weaponizes terrorism statutes against Palestinians, with Darryl Li 

Independent journalists, with journalistic integrity, are the heroes of our time 💯

I can attest the findings of Mr. LI. 20 yrs ago, I wanted flags representing our congregation for our Mediterranean Festival to raise funds for our church and the Heart Center in our community hospital. I brought a Palestinian flag to represent our congratulations ( Lebanese, Greeks and Palestinian Christians). I was told the flag of Palestine represented terrorists. I didn't agree and was compelled to stop the removal of the Palestinian flag. Today, I still stand for the self determination of Palestinian people. Free free Palestine 🇵🇸 ♥️ 🙏

*I wish good luck to promoting the new report. I am relieved to be living in Spain where we do not have anti-Palestinian laws. Spain said last Friday that, in the name of Middle East peace, it had agreed with Ireland, Malta and Slovenia to take first steps toward recognizing statehood declared by the Palestinians in the Israeli-controlled West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. Last year Spanish President Pedro Sánchez outraged Israel’s leadership by accusing the nation of failing to comply with international humanitarian law in its siege and bombardment of the Gaza Strip.*

Thank you Nora and Darryl. We must not be silent while witnessing injustice.

Would the Palestinians not have a right to declare the US/Israeli combo terrorists. Actually I think it would be fair if quite a few countries designated the US as terrorists. Specifically Lybia. From Ireland. We were called terrorists and pan nationalists.

People like this guy are invaluable for the struggle. His knowledge is unreal.

This points to how fierce our battles must be, for Truth to prevail

"If I must die, you must live to tell my story." ~ Refaat Alareer, Palestinian poet killed in an airstrike that also killed six other members of his family 12 year old Dina Abu Mohsen lost her parents, two siblings and her leg in an Israeli strike on her home. She subsequently lost her life when the IDF shelled the hospital where she was being treated. On Christmas Eve, IOF bombed Al Maghazi refugee camp

Excellent reporting🎉

This is a very depressing story from beginning to end. It amounts to nothing less than creeping fascism in USA, with a direct line to US culpability in the genocide in Gaza.

Thank you Nora and Darryl! What an AWESOME guest Nora! Darryl has a gift of presenting information (which on its own can be wordy and confusing) so clearly and easy to grasp for regular people! Thank you Darryl!!!!

Darryl is like Lowkey - an information bomb. Just remarkable. Thanks Nora.

Instead of arming Israel, US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare and education

Darry explains everything so clearly. Very interesting.

Darryl Li is amazing - how does he keep all this stuff in his head?!

Long live Palestine, insightful discussion in the weaponization of "terrorism" as a concept

compiling the history of what's called fighting terrorism in such a report is a huge and very crucial work from Prof. Darryl Li. not surprising but very informative and eye opener. thank to both of you on this report from EI.

Fascinating interview! Thank you making this available.

Keep the river of truth flowing.

Great interview. Learned a lot.

Hi Nora, this gu_ Darrel Li is excellent he is clear on this and is fascinating in relation to his genre. A new thing for me. Congratulations! From Australia.

This was very informative and insightful. Thank you.

The holy land 5 case still devastates me every time I think of it. I can’t believe elderly men who’s only crime was to help people are still sitting in US prison

Fascinating and super informative of history, present application and use of this info moving forward.

When mentioning the early 20th century groups that birthed terrorism you failed to list the Haganah, the Lehi, and the Irgun. The latter of which bombed the King David Hotel in July of '46 killing 93 and injuring 45. Its important to denote that people who fight back against oppression (especially the kind that rises to the level of killing) are too often improperly labeled as terrorists.

Thank you so much Darryl Li. I wish you had a few video lectures online so scholars outside the U of C could learn from you and use your work to think.

Thank you Nora and Darryl.

Wow !! So grateful for all your efforts.

Thank you ❤

Wow. This was so interesting. I had no idea about this.

Incredibly important work! Understanding these laws and their impact is the missing piece in some of the discussions and critiques of pro-Palestine activism in America. And the laws haven’t targeted only Palestinians and Arabs but really have been applied to Muslims in general and even “shariah law”

Very informative.

Fabulous info.

Very scary ! Thanks for your work

Using a far-Right bombing (Oklahoma 1995) to pass "anti-terrorist" repressive legislation against liberation movements and their supporters (which Darryyl Li talks about) was done in Ireland in the 1970s when bomb massacres by British Loyalists (coordinated by British Intelligence operatives) was used to legalise non-jury courts and legislation to persecute Irish Republicans (Ammendment to Offences Against the State Act) which are used to this day (and which Sinn Fein no longer opposes).

Very illuminating.

Very informative. Thank you.

Justice for the people of Palestine

Disagree that Amerikkka shut down the BPP using their existing suite of laws. Calif. governor Ronald Reagan passed the first gun control law specifically to prevent BPP from legally open-carrying rifles at the CA Legislature and city halls.

Very informative. Thanks so much.

Wow ! Very enlightening indeed .

My strong belief in a higher power gives me hope that someday righteousness and justice will prevail. With man it is impossible but with God all things are possible!!

Fascinating, very informative ❤

Wow. Very interesting

amazing deep deep conversation on hypocrisy laws.

❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for good cover of Palestine _Lena Sweden

@15:55 Is there no one or no way that can stop the US government from putting up laws or twisting the interpretations of laws to do as they please?? Is this not a dangerous country to live in?

This is the first ive ever heard if the Holy Land 5, wtf

It seems once you have labelled a person or organization as terrorist then you have already won a victory, you have delegitimized their actions and laid them open to the reomoval of their constitutional rights. I read the CCR report and it gives strategies for fighting against the designation of Palestinian sympathizers as terrorists. But it says nothing about challenging the designation as terrorists of those who are openly committed to armed resistance. Americans can openly support armed resistane, the principle is NOT criminalized, they support Ukraine's armed reistance to Russia openly and offer them vast "material support" And of course they give even greater "material support" to the state of Israel who use terror routinely against Palestinians even though the idea of labelling the IDF as a terrorist organization would not get the slightest traction in the US. So what are the strategies for changing the perception of Palestinian resistance, for making THEIR armed struggle as acceptable as that of the Ukrainians? If all the CCR is doing is advising groups how to avoid being associated with "terrorist" organisations then you have already conceded too much, you have conceded to the establishment's program of criminalizing Palestinian armed resistance. They have a RIGHT to fight back and the incomplete CCR strategy will take away the only thing that gives them hope and dignity. And what is more, the strategy makes them so much weaker because it is only when people see them taking up arms that they understand how desperate their situation actually and how much belief they have.

How many civilians have been killed by "terrorists" and how many by USA and Btitish armed forces??

Nora you're a flower

Weapons don’t kill people do .. the question is why For Israelis this war .. believe it or not is simple.. to prevent Hamas or others to attack again with rape and hostage taking American arms are certainly not important now for the war in Gaza .. as they are in a conventional war with Iran ..Gaza is now a seige war

Hashem bless you Nora❤ for exposing Liars
