Peter Tatchell wants attention again. Wonder what the people of Palestine think about him. Probably won’t be sympathetic.
He has a history of getting performatively arrested for various things.
It’s getting quite worrying that we’re arresting people for these things. It’s like we’re going in the authoritarian direction of the US and it’s hard to understand why we would want to do that.
“Globalise the intifada” is just a ragebait slogan. It obviously sounds very radical and winds people up, hinting at violence against Jews living outside Israel, but if you dig into it, it just means “international solidarity for the Palestinian cause”.
What the slogan tells me is that your Palestinian activism is about drawing attention to yourself. Maybe that’s an effective strategy (I think it isn’t), but it certainly makes me very suspicious about whether your motives are truly primarily Palestinian liberation.
I’ve got a lot of time for Tatchell, he’s a very brave man who’s spent his life fighting for equality and often in the face of serious opposition from the government and police.
Having said that, he’s an idiot to hold up a sign so associated with terrorism. Why can’t people support the Palestinian people without buying into the violent side? Tatchell’s old enough to remember the PLO hijacking planes and murderinh civilians.
Don’t think it’s reasonable to get arrested for it but knowing Tatchell he refused to move when asked or similar, he knows the rules.
