Green party activist and human rights campaigner arrested
Peter Tatchell is an Australian-born British human rights campaigner. A member of the Green Party, he was arrested for carrying a placard calling for a global intifada. To be fair, the sign also said “non-violent resistance”; however, that is not what “intifada” means. Just to be clear, “Intifada” refers to a rebellion or resistance movement, commonly used to describe Palestinian uprisings against Israeli occupation.
A peace-loving Green Party member is calling for a violent uprising against Jews (presumably). What would happen if the small minority of Muslims who live in the UK who agree with him started said intifada?
The Greens have the nerve to call anyone to the right of their belief a fascist and/or a Nazi. Nazism incorporates antisemitism – the murder of the Jewish people. One of the descriptors of fascism is the forcible suppression of opposition. It is not those on the right of the political spectrum who are calling for the extermination of a race or calling for the suppression of Israel by force.
And they call the right wing violent…
