Why opposing Israel's genocide got me arrested for terrorism

The author recounts being arrested under British anti-terrorism laws for participating in a peaceful protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. The protest involved showing support for Palestine Action, a group recently proscribed as a terrorist organization for damaging factories of an Israeli military supplier. This event led to the largest mass arrest for terrorism in British history, involving a diverse group of citizens including professionals and pensioners. The author argues that these laws are being used to silence criticism of Israel and protect its interests. This personal account is contrasted with the author's childhood experiences, where he was unaware of the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
