It is aeroplane not airplane.
It is criminal damage not terrorism.
It is obstruction not terrorism.
It is elderly Quakers holding a piece of cardboard not terrorism.
It is ex-Magistrates defying government over-reach not terrorism.
It is sons and daughters of Holocaust survivors standing up for the victims of genocide not terrorism.
It is civil disobedience not terrorism.
The proscription order - under pressure from the Trump government and Israel lobby groups - is authoritarian and dangerous and an attack on established civil liberties.
The government is criminalising opponents of genocide whilst enabling the perpetrators of genocide.
Not all police forces have acted the same way in the face of protestors defying the Palestine Action ban. Some have made mass arrests; some have turned a blind eye.
Everyone who joined the Parliament Square protest expected to be arrested. They showed a huge amount of courage and self sacrifice to ramp up the pressure on the government and expose their malign decision.
There will be a breaking point - maybe in the Courts; maybe when the prisons are full of ‘terrorist’ pensioners!
