The right to protest has come under sustained attack across the west, according to a report highlighting the growing criminalisation of pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

The study by the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) pays particular attention to the UK, the US, France and Germany, where it says governments have “weaponised” counter-terrorism legislation as well as the fight against antisemitism to suppress dissent and support for Palestinian rights in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

    Oh yea I remember when they rounded up hippies and put them in concentration camps.

    Not since the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2 has things been even close to that.

    I’m curious to understand how something like fascism can “unfold” yet not get worse?
