Palestine Action Designated a Terrorist Organization

The British government classified Palestine action as a terrorist organization in early July following an incident where activists entered an air force base and sprayed Royal Air Force aircraft.

Palestine Action alleges the British government provides support to Israel during the Gaza conflict, specifically through tanker aircraft. Activists stated they aimed to disable these aircraft by spraying them with paint. the british government disputes these claims and has vowed to pursue a strict legal response.
