OPINION: Palestine, Gaza, the right to protestAnother massive demonstration for Palestine in London on Saturday. The proscription of Palestine Action last month has been the latest in those, following numerous arrests and charges, including those of four leaders of the Palestine coalition that organises the demos. The Parliament Square protest organised by Defend our Juries in opposition to the ban was met with policing that saw the arrests of nearly 500 people for simply holding placards in defence of Palestine Action. Proscribing such a group under the terrorism laws is a travesty, makes a mockery of what terrorism actually is, and tries to criminalise protesters who are carrying out non-violent direct action. The best way to deal with that is political campaigning plus a determination to use the most militant and effective tactics to win.
