Owen Jones was well written about “Grotesque stupidity” to an 83-year-old priest arrested while proclaiming his opposition to genocide and support for Palestinian action (This column does not express support for Palestine movement – Here’s why, theguardian.com, 9 July).
My MP sent me a long email explaining government reasons for the development of Palestine’s actions as a terrorist organization. In my response, I was quoted GalileoWho said, “Nevertheless it works”, when the religious authorities in his time compelled that the sun rises on the ground and forced him to go to the earth around the sun.
For the record, I do not support the movement of Palestine because, such as Galileo, I have been forced to return to the truth. And yet … criminal damage is criminal injury, non-terrorism, and a direct protest group is not a terrorist organization.
It is more ironic that religious people should encourage today from Galileo, decrying orwenian double with secular authorities on our own day.
Jones argues that the working The government crossed a rubicon by this progress. Well, they are not the only people, because I have solved, with regret, who will never vote again.
