The UK government arresting 166 citizens (and counting) for standing in public with hand-drawn signs opposing #genocide, #starvation, #extermination, #ForcedDisplacement and other #CrimesAgainstHumanity: "This is terrorism!"

This statement is, of course, correct.

This is indeed a tactic of terror, deploying violence and the threat of violence against civilians to pursue a political agenda through fear. However, it is not the dignified grandmothers, retired magistrates, and scores of other ordinary people courageously upholding the longstanding and noble tradition of #nonviolent #DirectAction for social justice who are engaging in #terrorism.

Old protest story:

Guy standing alone on street corner with “STOP GOVT ABUSE” sign.

Car stops and driver says, “You don’t really think you’re going to change the govt standing here with your little sign.”

Protestor laughs and shakes his head: “I don’t do this to change the govt. I do this so the govt doesn’t change me.”
