palestine action protest arrests at the weekend

If these people are terrorists, l'm a banana (as Ian Hislop would probably say).  What a waste of time, money and resources arresting previously well behaved and mostly old members of society having a peaceful protest, sitting down holding signs, compared to the reaction when right wing violent racists target asylum hotels with their 'legitimate concerns' and 'protecting women and children' shtick. The injustices heaped upon the ordinary Palestinians and the deliberate ethnic cleansing and starvation of it's people by the IDF and Netanyahu will one day be judged as the war crimes they are and future historians will look back and wonder how it was allowed to happen in plain sight of the world. The more the government clamp down on these peaceful protesters the more ridiculous it looks, and the numbers who support such actions will only increase as the arresting figures grow more absurd. The idiocy of the situation is highlighted by this letter in The Times today by the former UK commander of RAF Geenham Common cruise missile base (below).
