With Palestine Action racking up the victories, it was high time that I spoke with veteran actionist Shibby about the network’s mind blowing direct action successes. We discuss the recent shutdown of a facility in Tamworth, the viral action that just took place in Scotland, and the high-level, low-level, and covert strategies that have been used by these brave activists.
We also touch on the ongoing efforts to ban Palestine Action in the UK, and why such a ban will fail to prevent this network from continuing its righteous work.
In addition to hosting Revolutionary Lumpen Radio, Shibby is a veteran activist with Palestine Action. We begin with the story of his radicalization.

The Free Palestine Cocktail
100 ml Watermelon Juice
30 ml Lime Juice
15 ml Simple Syrup (1:1 ratio) to taste
Small pinch of salt
25 ml green juice of choice (celery, apple, kale)
Optional:
25 ml Clear spirit like Mezcal, Tequila, Gin, Vodka, Arak, etc etc
Watermelon slice for garnish
Freeze a small layer of green juice in a glass ahead of time. Combine watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, & a pinch of salt in a mixing tin and shake with cubed ice until properly diluted and chilled. Fill glass (containing frozen green juice) with crushed ice, then fine strain the watermelon mixture over the ice. This will create layers that resemble a watermelon.
