| 0:00.0 | The world has been turned on its head. On Saturday, in central London, the Metropolitan Police |
| 0:04.6 | arrested from 32 people opposed to Israel's genocidal extermination of the Palestinian people. |
| 0:10.9 | What are these people do, you may ask? Did they attack someone? Do they riot? Do they try |
| 0:14.7 | and blow up the House of Commons or something? No. In a protest organised by defend our juries, |
| 0:19.1 | they sat holding placards with the words, |
| 0:26.5 | I oppose genocide, I support Palestine action. Nearly half of those arrested were over 60. Nearly 100 of them were in their 70s and 15 were in their 80s. To put all this in context, |
| 0:31.1 | in the Poltac's right of 1990, just 339 people were arrested. After violence, it must be said, |
| 0:36.5 | which was provoked by the police, in which 113 people were injured. |
| 0:40.9 | One of those arrested was a disabled blind man. |

| 1:28.6 | a Palestinian action activist through some red paint at two military airplanes. That's what's regarded |
| 1:35.9 | as an obscene crime in this country, for which you are prescribed as a terrorist organisation and anyone who says anything |
| 1:45.9 | is important, you can go to prison before to 14 years. The world really has just been turned on its head. |
| 1:51.1 | If you oppose the genocidal extermination of innocent people, you face being locked up for 14 years. |
| 1:58.3 | But you see, if you're a British politician, you arms and facilitates genocide, |
| 2:01.4 | then you're treated as a statesman. Well, it's my honest opinion that one day the tables will |
| 2:05.1 | be turned and the genocide convention of 98 will be enforced. That was made British law in |
| 2:09.0 | 1970 and it criminalises complicity in genocide. The genocide convention also imposes a legal |
