Why won’t I stop?
It’s simple.
If I’m walking past a car on a boiling hot day—let’s say 120 degrees inside—and there’s a baby trapped in there with the windows shut, I’m smashing that window. No hesitation.
Yes, that’s technically a crime. Breaking and entering, maybe criminal damage, whatever. But I’m not going to let a child die because I’m afraid of a charge. And if the cops try to prosecute me, I’ll stand up in court and say, “Yes. I did it. I’d do it again.”
Because some laws are made to be broken.
That is what Palestine Action is doing. And this government wants to label them terrorists.
They’re smashing the windows of a system that is complicit in genocide. A system that sells weapons to Israel while Gaza burns. A system that lets war criminals shake hands in Westminster while protestors are arrested for throwing red paint.
This is non-violent civil disobedience. Direct action against war. And they want to criminalise it.
Let me be clear: they are criminalising conscience.
The Line I Will Not Cross
I will not let this government criminalise a conscience. I implore every one of you to do the same. If they do—if we let them—the horror will be beyond language.
Rats in a cage on your head. You know the reference.
I will not change how I speak about Palestine Action. Not for the police, not for the press, not for Starmer or Cooper or anyone else playing political games with people’s lives.
No matter what happens on July 4th. No matter who wins. I support Palestine Action, 100%.
They Will Not Colonise My Mind
We are not meant to be polite while people are being slaughtered. We are meant to act.
If the police come and arrest me, so be it. I will stand with my chest held high, and make those arresting officers rethink their whole existence.
Do they have children? What will they have to answer in 20 years?
I will not buckle. I will not bend.
They will not colonise my mind.
