<p>In a video carried by Israeli media outlets on Sunday, former heads of Mossad, Shin Bet, police and military intelligence all urged an end to what is now Israel's longest war since its foundation. </p>
<p>They also announced they had sent a letter, signed by 550 former security officials, to US President Donald Trump requesting that he pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the issue.</p>
<p>“Stop the Gaza War! On behalf of [Commanders for Israel’s Security], Israel’s largest group of former IDF (Israeli army) generals and Mossad, Shin Bet, Police, and Diplomatic Corps equivalents, we urge you to end the Gaza war," it read.</p>
<p>"You did it in Lebanon. Time to do it in Gaza as well.”</p>

The police (wrongly) inform a peaceful protestor that holding a Palestinian flag and signs deploring genocide is an offence under the Terrorism Act. This is the deranged policing environment the government has created.
Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.
