Stand Firm: Write to Your MP Against Extremism in Our Communities
It is a tragic yet necessary truth that we must remain ever vigilant in the face of those who seek to undermine the values that bind us as a society. Our latest report, "Palestine Action: A Case for Proscription under the Terrorism Act 2000," has brought to light disturbing evidence of a group whose actions threaten not only public safety but the very fabric of community cohesion in the United Kingdom.
Palestine Action’s activities are no longer about peaceful protest. They have descended into campaigns of harassment, intimidation, and outright vandalism. Their behaviour, targeting individuals and organisations linked to Israel, represents an assault on the principles of tolerance, democracy, and mutual respect—principles that Britain holds dear. This is not activism; it is extremism, cloaked in the language of resistance but designed to divide and destabilise.
The time has come for action. It is not enough to recognise these threats; we must meet them with resolute measures. That is why we are calling on you to write to your MP and demand that Palestine Action be considered for proscription under the Terrorism Act 2000. This group’s escalating behaviour must no longer be tolerated under the guise of legitimate protest.
Why Your Voice Matters:
- To Uphold the Rule of Law: Allowing groups like Palestine Action to operate unchecked erodes trust in the democratic process and emboldens those who think violence is an acceptable tool for political expression.
- To Protect Community Cohesion: Their actions target specific communities and foster division. A strong response sends a clear message that Britain will not stand for such tactics.
- To Defend Our Principles: Extremist groups rely on the silence of the majority to advance their agendas. By raising your voice, you stand up for the values of justice, fairness, and accountability.
How to Act:
- Contact your MP directly and urge them to take this matter seriously. You can find their contact details at https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP.
- Reference the findings of our report and express your concern about the unchecked activities of Palestine Action.
- Demand that Parliament consider proscription to ensure the safety of our communities and uphold the standards of public life in Britain.
Your Letter Could Make the Difference
This is not merely a matter of policy but of principle. If we allow groups like Palestine Action to continue unchecked, we risk more than just the safety of a single community. We risk the moral fabric of our society. Britain must take a stand, as it has so many times before, against extremism and hatred.
By writing to your MP, you are not just raising a concern—you are defending the very idea of Britain as a place where law, liberty, and decency prevail. Let us not be silent in the face of those who would see these values eroded.

A Call for Firm Government Action Against Palestine Action’s Threat to Public Safety and the Rule of Law
Dear [MP/Peer’s Name],
I write to urge your support for a critical initiative to address the unchecked extremism posed by Palestine Action. This group, under the guise of “activism,” has systematically escalated from protest to vandalism, trespass, and intimidation, directly targeting British businesses and organisations with connections to Israel. It is not only a threat to public order but an affront to the values that underpin British society.
This group’s recent attacks—including defacing offices of organisations linked to Israel on the anniversary of the Balfour Declarationand the destroying of statues —marks yet another disturbing milestone. We are no longer witnessing civil disobedience; we are seeing sustained acts of criminality designed to incite fear, silence those with differing views, and inflame divisions within our communities. This is not “activism”; it is extremism dressed up in the language of protest.
Why Government Action Is Imperative
Since its inception in 2020, Palestine Action has shown blatant contempt for the rule of law. Its activities are not those of peaceful protesters but of a group that believes laws do not apply to them. Acts of vandalism, harassment, and threats directed at businesses and charities with any link to Israel should not be mistaken for political debate. This is coercion,and the aim is clear: to create a climate of hostility and fear, particularly for British Jews.
The Government’s duty is, above all, to protect the rule of law and the safety of its citizens.As a society we cannot allow a group like Palestine Action to operate unchecked, emboldening others to adopt similar tactics and sowing division at a time when national cohesion is more critical than ever. Such behaviour demands decisive intervention, not casual oversight.
Our Petition and Call to Action
We Believe In Israel has filed a Parliamentary petition calling for the Government to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000. At the very least, this group should be designated as holding an extremist ideology, similar to the approach taken with Extinction Rebellion. This would grant law enforcement the authority to respond appropriately to the clear threat Palestine Action poses to public safety and the fabric of our society.
Specifically, their petition requests that the Government:
- Proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 – making it a criminal offence to be a member, support, or promote this organisation.
- Alternatively, designate Palestine Action as holding an extremist ideology, reflecting the group’s blatant disregard for public order and safety.
- Take immediate steps to prevent further acts of intimidation, vandalism, and harassment, by establishing stricter oversight on unlawful direct action and providing protections for targeted groups.
Your Support Matters
We ask you to join us in this call for action. By supporting this petition, you will send a powerful message that Britain will not tolerate campaigns of harassment or intimidation masquerading as “activism.” Your backing would demonstrate a commitment to the safety of British communities, to upholding the rule of law, and to maintaining the values of tolerance and respect that are essential to our national identity.
This is a matter that cuts to the core of what kind of country Britain wishes to be. Do we allow groups to intimidate and harass with impunity, or do we stand firm, defending our communities and the principles that define us? The Government must make it abundantly clear that the law applies to all and that extremist agendas will be met with the full force of British justice.
Please add your signature to support our petition. Stand with us in defence of Britain’s values, its citizens, and its legal order. Should you wish to discuss this further, we would be glad to provide additional information.
Thank you in anticipation for your support
Yours sincerely,
