That this came out in the same 24 hours that Israel shut down Al Jazeera and dropped leaflets warning the people sheltering in Rafah, who have nowhere to go, that they must evacuate or die tells us everything about the relationship between liberal rhetoric and mass destruction.

But how exactly will they respect the dignity of a half-naked child getting prodded by officers in a custody suite?

This is a dangerous political definition of extremism that undermines the rights & freedoms of others: notably communities & movements already at the sharp end of a gov't that does 1, 2 & 3 through its anti-immigration & anti-protest policies, racism & mainstreaming the far right

The new definition shows the hypocrisy at the heart of Govt and its counter-terrorism policy

This is not about keeping communities safe but is about ensuring that when Muslim/Black/brown people protest too much, there are enough ways to criminalise them
