An anti-Israel activist from Brighton has been arrested over a tweet which professed support for Hamas.
Tony Greenstein, 69, was taken into custody for questioning by terror police yesterday morning, and released on police bail later that afternoon.
The far-left website Skwawkbox has reported it was over a tweet which said: “I support the Palestinians that is enough and I support Hamas against the Israeli army.”
The site also reported Greenstein’s phone and laptop were seized and have not been returned to him.
A spokeswoman for Counter Terror Police South East said: “Yesterday a man from Brighton has been arrested on suspicion of a terrorism offence.
“The 69-year-old was arrested on suspicion of supporting a proscribed organisation in relation to Hamas.
“He has since been released on bail until 20 March 2024. “
Tony Greenstein arrested again – surely not !
Did he complete the community service for his criminal behaviour earlier this year ?
Is he still an undischarged bankrupt ?
Why did the Labour party kick him out !
Why did Unite Trade Union kick him out ?
Was there some incident in his student days where he was arrested ?
Poor bloke needs medical help.
Totally agree he is nothing but a hate preacher and should be deported. Or locked up. But Blair gave these people more rights that there victims.
Ah, Mr Greenstein strikes again!
The “eternal student”
How old are you Tony?
This guy and his hapless accomplices are like something resembling “Four Lions” or the keystone cops.
MOSSAD must be quaking in it’s boots?
Time to act your age and not your shoe size, Tony.

Greenstein needs to do something about his ego. He went along to the Council to ask a Public Question and instead of doing so, stomped about and launched into a diatribe. And was affronted when halted, told that there would be anarchy if everybody did likewise. He struck me as somebody who has let life slip through his fingers. And, as such, cannot retrieve it. A working definition of tragedy.
