There are three very positive points arising from this thread, even though it started with a lie.
1) We have established that it is not illegal in UK to be of any particular religion
2) We have established that the complainant was not arrested for trying to cross a road
3) Even the pro-Israeli campaigners clearly agree that it would be wrong for a person of a particular group to be arrested for crossing a road.
So, following from (3), it is clear there is general agreement that, for example, it is wrong of Israel to arrest Arabs who are not allowed to drive or walk on certain roads in Palestine.
I am very pleased that we have reached general agreement.
My thanks to motorbiking to helping raise awareness of the facts, even though that was not his intention.
