In short:
Police have arrested almost 900 Palestine Action supporters in London under anti-terrorism legislation.
The British government has banned the group and put it alongside Al Qaeda and ISIS.
What’s next?
The UK government says proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group does not affect other lawful pro-Palestine and pro-Israel groups from peacefully protesting.

I’s listening to Rory Stewart’s view on this listing of this group. Apparently they’ve been listed as a terror organisation because members broke into a air force base and spray painted graffiti on a jet?
So, his take, which seems reasonable to me, why should we be focusing so much attention on these protestors and not on the ridiculous situation that some guy cab graffiti millions of pounds worth of military equipment. Like wheres the base security?
This isn’t a case of homegrown terrorism, this is a case of severly embarrassed military, and thats what the press, and government should be focused on.
We’re in the most tumultuous geopolitical time since the end of WW2 and the British are arresting and designating protestors? Get a grip.
