What is Britain going to do in response that could harm Palestinians more? Start bombing themselves instead of telling Israel where a lot of people are sitting together in a tent and delivering the bombs for Israel to drop?

I’m also not sure if such acts really are helpful at disproving the popular resentment that all palestinians are radical islamists, terrorists or in bed with hamas.

If you glue yourself to the street in a climate protest, you are already labelled terrorist in countries like the UK and Germany. Meanwhile Germany is applauding Israels war of aggression against Iran and peddling lies about weapons of mass destructions like it is Iraq all over again, although this time around the IAEA and American intelligence agencies kept stating publicly that there is no evidence of such weapons in Iran.

So far the governments have been ignorant to legal protests. The governments instead often crack down with massive police violence and criminalization of freedom of speech against peaceful and fully legal protest. Just yesterday the Council of Europe has published a letter voicing its concerns over the massive repression in Germany. There is no indication that governments like the UK or Germany would stop their complicity without any pressure.

So the option people have are:

a) watch a genocide and only raise your voices in the small frame tolerated by the government, knowing that it will not lead to any change
b) interfere with the infrastructure used to facilitate genocide

Meanwhile Israel is using starvation and the promise of aid to lure starving people into places where Israel can massacre them more easily. But nonviolent actions are the real extremism here…
