US EditionLabour Has Taken a Stand with Palestine Action – It Must Not Stop Here - The Jewish Chronicle
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 7 – The UK government banned Palestine Action after members stormed RAF Brize Norton and caused millions in damage, classifying the group as a terrorist threat under broad counter-terrorism laws.
- The UK government proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation at midnight on 4 July, criminalising its direct-action protests in London and elsewhere.
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper ordered the proscription, which received overwhelming parliamentary support, notably from most female MPs, ironically on the suffragette vote anniversary.
- Palestine Action uses non-violent tactics like spray paint, red dye, and lock-ons to disrupt arms factories linked to Israel, aiming to end UK complicity in Gaza's destruction amidst a growing repression of dissent.
- More than 56,000 people have died in Gaza, net favourability towards Israel is negative across Europe, and supporting Palestine Action carries up to 14 years imprisonment under terrorism laws.
- The ban has intensified polarization, risks criminalising thousands of diverse supporters, and suggests increasing state repression, yet campaigners persist amid concerns about free speech and political stability.

The Palestine Action Ban Was Right — But It's Opened a Pandora's Box – The Daily Sceptic
The Government was right to proscribe Palestine Action – but it's opened a Pandora's box, says Anna Stanley. With so many in the UK now emotionally invested in the Palestinian cause, can social breakdown be avoided?
In the United Kingdom, the Palestinian Action has been declared a terrorist organization that for five years has fought directly against British military support for Israel, a rather typical Western leftist organization that suddenly finds itself in an unusual position. The Medusa talks more about it in an effort to understand many other similar organizations.
