I remember feeling silly and paranoid, saying that our horrific politicians and media outlets were engaged in a concerted effort to basically outlaw Palestinian solidarity. But that’s absolutely what they’ve done, both to harm the left and distract from their complicity in crimes against humanity.
There has been a relentless, cacophonous campaign to stigmatise pro-Palestinian activists. But the inconvenient truth is that these are just ordinary people of good conscience who see the horrors of Gaza and simply cannot bear to stand by and do nothing.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.
