We Believe in Israel (WBII) is proud to announce the publication of a new, comprehensive policy briefing:
“Proscribing Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000.”
This authoritative report sets out the urgent legal and national security case for the UK Government to designate Palestine Action as a proscribed terrorist organisation.
Palestine Action has repeatedly crossed the line between protest and political violence. Since its founding in 2020, it has evolved into a militant and decentralised network whose tactics include coordinated property destruction, use of incendiary devices, and targeted intimidation—particularly against Jewish-owned businesses and community spaces.
Key findings in the report include:
-
Evidence that Palestine Action meets the legal threshold for terrorism under Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000through the use of serious violence and intimidation to influence government policy.
-
Documented links between the group’s leadership and public glorification of Hamas's October 7 attacks.
-
Clear parallels to previously proscribed domestic groups such as National Action.
-
The rising risk of social unrest, copycat attacks, and erosion of community cohesion if the group continues to operate without sanction.
The report calls on the Home Secretary to take immediate action by issuing a proscription order under Section 3 of the Terrorism Act, and outlines the powers this would unlock for law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
At a time when public safety, democratic integrity, and the rule of law are under pressure, this briefing offers a clear legal roadmap for confronting a dangerous, ideologically extreme organisation that exploits the banner of activism to sow division and fear.
