“British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government is marking one year in power by banning direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. Being a member of the group, or even expressing support verbally, could land you in prison for years. Palestine Action is a non-violent group, which only damages property owned by, or connected to, Israeli arms company Elbit Systems. Yet the order to ban it, approved by British parliamentarians, lumped the group in with violent, white-supremacist neo-Nazis such as the ’Maniacs Murder cult.’ In response to Palestine Action’s sustained and effective five-year direct action campaign, Elbit has lobbied the Home Office (Britain’s Homeland Security department), alongside Zionist organizations like We Believe in Israel, to ban the group.” (07/04/25)
