94-Year-Old Lawyer Speaks on Genocide

I'm 94 years old-

Wow

... and I'm here because I am so, so,

so angry, and I'm Jewish.

Yeah.

And I cannot believe it. I cannot believe

it that whatever Ed Miliband, who I love a

lot and admire,

couldn't do more and couldn't say that this

is a genocide, and he still was unable to say

stop all arms to Israel.

Mm.

And what I want Andy Burnham to do

when he makes his speech on Tuesday is to lift

the ban on Palestine action, not in

a few weeks' time. This week, now.

Lift the ban on Palestine action.

Stop the

Agree that it's a genocide.

Mm.

Stop all arms to Israel.

And stop this

mad, mad, mad use of

taxpayers' money to use the police to

try and round up completely innocent

people who have a right for freedom of

expression and peaceful protest.

This is what the taxpayers are paying for.

It's absolutely crazy. I am Margaret Owen.

I'm a human rights lawyer.

In the eyes of the state, a 94-year-old human rights lawyer

is a dangerous terrorist supporter.

That's what they're saying. They're ba- they're saying you're a te- you're,

you're,

you're a terrorist.

I'm angry and I'm deeply upset as a

lawyer remembering when I was 13,

the end of the war in 1945, and the excitement

of the building of the United Nations and about human rights

and the Genocide, um, Convention and

Nuremberg. Never again. Can you see, Owen,

why at 94 I'm so upset?
