Outrageous that the British gov is moving to ban non violent direct action group Palestine Action whilst it still sells weapons to the state that is carrying out a genocide. They represent every individual who opposes the Israeli war machine. They represent every person that believes Palestinians are worth more than the tools used to kill them. They represent every person who stands for Palestinian liberation. If they want to ban them, they ban us all.
Under the legislation proposed it will become a criminal offence, punishable by up to 14 years in prison, for anyone to become a member of, or even to support the direct action of Palestine Action.
This is what we should all be telling Yvette Cooper MP. Given that it will soon be illegal to say this: I support Palestine Action. Their actions are proportionate and on the right side of history. It's absurd to brand them a "terrorist" group for daring to spray paint on an aircraft that is helping the terrorist entity known as Israel to kill women and children. And I will still think that even when it becomes illegal to say it.
Palestine Action hasn’t murdered any people queuing for food aid, hasn’t bombed any hospitals or incinerated patients in tents, hasn’t stolen land or fired at a desperately frightened 6 year-old with a tank. Palestine Action are doing what the UK government have failed to do under domestic and IHL, and this is to stop arming, aiding and abetting a holocaust!
The suffragettes movement, particularly the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), would be considered a "terrorist organisation" By UK law today. Taking action against companies complicit in genocide is not terrorism. The point is to make fewer people die. It's the opposite of terrorism. and supporting the liberation for Palestinian people is not terrorism.
Drone-striking refugees in tents is terrorism. Bombing displaced people in a designated “safe zone” is terrorism. Sniping children is terrorism. Shooting starving people as they queue for food is terrorism. And by criminalising Palestine Action our government is complicit in this , the very reason ordinary citizens are forced to take direct action to protest to stop them, Fuck this depraved blood soaked government. We will not be silenced. We must condemn their actions in the strongest possible terms. Full solidarity with Palestine Action! In n our hundreds in our millions we are all Palestinians. .Palestine will be free. From the rivers to the sea.
