"Throughout the Israeli genocide in Gaza most people, myself included, felt like they were gradually going mad. On the topic of madness, in Britain in 2026 you can be arrested under the Terrorism Act for sitting in silence, holding a cardboard sign stating that you oppose genocide & support non-violent action to prevent it."
"UK citizens will feel less desperation (& our overwhelmed courts will be quieter) if our country acts with the integrity of neighbours such as Spain; calmly declining the use of their territory & assets for illegal US / Israeli war crimes."
"I think that the actions of Palestine Action were highly patriotic because they were pretty much protecting our country from getting involved in serious war crimes and breaking international law."
Robert Del Naja, a member of Massive Attack, was among over 500 protesters arrested in London for supporting Palestine Action. He expressed feelings of madness regarding the situation in Gaza and criticized the UK's legal stance on protests. Del Naja highlighted the potential for arrest under the Terrorism Act for peaceful demonstrations. He called for the UK to act with integrity and referenced the unlawful designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. His statement concluded with a plea for the freedom of Palestine and an end to wars.
