Caitlin Johnstone reports:
British police arrested 325 people on terrorism charges for protesting in support of the proscribed activist group Palestine Action on Saturday. Sky News reports that 94 percent of all terrorism arrests this year have been made because of support for Palestine Action.
Drop bombs on buildings full of children and the UK will call you an ally. Express support for activists who try to stop those bombs and the UK will call you a terrorist.
There's something truly wrong with all this.
Why is it that protesting over the Gazacide is so inimical to the British state?
Why has it become such an issue when the underlying facts on the ground are so clear?
When exactly did all this become an issue for the British state?
Who exactly is it, in the UK, that thinks this kind of state action is justified?
How exactly is this labelled as 'terrorism' when compared to chopping off someone's head?
As Councillor Duxbury would say: Think on't.
