00:00They're people of principle and they're people of courage and they are appalled that civil disobedience should become an act of terrorism and I was just a few minutes ago looking at a speech, an excellent speech, made by Shabana Mahmood in 2014 of supporting people who opposed the then bombing of Gaza.
