The British state clearly wants to find a way to scare British citizens away from supporting the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to resist occupation by all available means, including by armed struggle.
FREE PALESTINE!!!! Armed resistance to an occupier is legal under international law. Israel, Britain and America are terrorist supporting States! The British intelligence agencies involved are thugs!
Call me a coward, if you like, but all of this does scare me! There are other reasons why I haven't been attending large marches or protests - disabilities, physical and mental health issues, living a long way away from anywhere of significance, having family who are extremely dependent on me... - but these arrests and the way they've been conducted and the brutality with which police officers have been treating people are an added reason that holds me back whenever my intense anger against the Zionist entity encourages me to attempt to overcome these other obstacles.
I have great admiration for those who continue to act and speak out prominently despite all of the obstacles and only hope that, by doing my bit of clicktivism, educating myself and those around me and offering some financial and moral support, I'm contributing my mite to the cause.
All this is very frightening. The risk must be considered. My family asks me to not do a blog or podcast for Palestine. It's hard for me but they have a good argument. I found other ways like supporting a family in Gaza (thank goodness they are still alive). I wear my Gaza keffiyeh and finally receive no argument from family. I deal with some dirty looks from strangers but where we live support is good for Gaza. Mostly it's the NA TO base next door that gets on my nerves. The UK is a scary place now.

Piece was written before Asa, Tony, Haim and Natalie arrested!
Amazing that so many more arrested in the meantime.
Do you have updated statistics on how many arrests, house searches, etc. there have been now?
