Criminologists for Palestine A collective of members of the European Society of Criminology who oppose Israel’s genocide, crimes against humanity and human rights violations in Palestine

Criminologists for Palestine is calling on @esc-eurocrim.bsky.social members to vote on the questions recently posed by the ESC Board. There are also calls for a boycott of the organisation for the reasons set out here criminologists4palestine.wordpress.com

In addition to their stated aim of gathering evidence, BTP and the Met use these raids as a form of extralegal punishment in and of itself, deliberately causing as much damage as possible.

thewire.in/books/the-en... - Mass mobilisation has historically compelled even stubborn policies to bend. In 2026, reviving counter-hegemonic traditions across divides remains empire's most potent check, fuelled by Gramsci’s never-give-up maxim: “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.”
