UK Discovers 'Terrorism' When Its Own Hands Get Bloody
While Al Jazeera highlights the UK's use of 'anti-terror law against Palestine Action' to 'block scrutiny of the UK’s role in Gaza’s devastation' ( Al Jazeera ), this isn't some novel strategy. This is a classic move from the imperial power playbook: criminalize protest when it exposes your material support for atrocities. The UK, historically no stranger to propping up colonial violence, finds it
inconvenient when citizens demand accountability for its continued arming of Israel. One might wonder if their definition of 'terror' conveniently shifts to align with whatever threatens their arms deals and geopolitical interests. It appears the only real 'terror' the UK cares about is the inconvenient truth that their 'partnerships' are enabling war crimes. How many activists must be silenced
before the 'rules-based order' applies to those supplying the bombs, instead of just those protesting them?
