If we believe in freedom of conscience, we must deny active obedience. The article you are currently reading could be considered a criminal act and a terrorist document. I do not speak for Palestine Action. I am not a member of the group. I don’t know if anyone in Palestine Action is taking part in their actions on the basis of their spiritual belief. But I believe there is a moral case for disarming the machinery of war that is killing innocent civilians in Gaza with the complicity of the British government. I believe that damaging and destroying weapons of war is one way of waging peace: I can only conclude that for the British government, the waging of peace is terrorism. And I believe that the proscription under the Terrorism Act of groups that seek peace through non-violent means is political repression of the freedom of conscience. Resisting the destruction of human life and the perpetuation of a genocide against the Palestinian people is not wrong. It is the law, and this government, that is wrong.
