EXCERPT
Palestine Action is a British pro-Palestinian direct action network. Founded in 2020 with the stated goal of ending what they describe as Israeli apartheid, the organisation also became active in the Gaza war protests in the United Kingdom, in the wake of the ongoing Gaza war.
The group disrupts the arms industry in the United Kingdom with direct action, as the organisation accuses the arms industry of being complicit in what they describe as a genocide in Gaza. Key targets have been British factories of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems and RAF Brize Norton base. In their campaigns, Palestine Action have used protest, occupation of premises, destruction of property, and vandalism, which sometimes resulted in its members being arrested. Palestine Action describes its actions as "non-violent yet disruptive", saying it has never hurt a human being.
The British government has proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group from 5 July 2025 under the UK's Terrorism Act 2000, making it illegal to fundraise for it, wear or display anything arousing reasonable suspicion of support, express an opinion or belief supportive of Palestine Action which might encourage others to support it. Since then, British police have arrested dozens of individuals for holding signs showing support to Palestine Action. Civil liberties group have criticised the ban as "conflating protest with terrorism."
