Palestine Action, a group known for direct action against Israel, is facing possible proscription as a terrorist organization by the UK government. Saeed Taji Farouky, a group member, criticized this move, calling it absurd and a violation of British democratic principles. The government action follows a recent protest where activists vandalized military aircraft. Farouky characterized the government's response as hasty and unprovoked, asserting that their tactics are a response to escalating violence. The group aims to disrupt the supply chain supporting actions perceived as genocide, despite strong denials from Israel regarding such claims.
It's absurd the government plans to proscribe [Palestine Action], it rips apart the very basic concepts of British democracy and the rule of law.
This potential move is a knee-jerk reaction being rushed through by the government due to pressure; it's not a tactic that scares us.
