We Believe in Israel (WBII), in partnership with Stop the Hate UK and The Shield of David, is launching a national campaign to demand that the UK Government proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Palestine Action has crossed every line — legally, morally, and politically. It has transitioned from fringe agitator to a coordinated, ideologically violent network, whose conduct and rhetoric now fulfil the legal definition of terrorism. For too long, this group has operated with impunity while endangering the public, intimidating minorities, and glorifying violence.

We are calling on the Home Secretary to act without delay.

The Evidence Is Clear – and It’s Already Published

In recent months, We Believe in Israel has produced two detailed, evidence-based publications that expose Palestine Action’s conduct, ideology, and affiliations:

🔍 “Report on Palestine Action: A Case for Proscription under the Terrorism Act 2000”

📘 “Red Line Crossed: The Case for Proscribing Palestine Action as a Terror-Linked Organisation”

These publications lay out the group’s:

• Repeated criminal attacks on private and public infrastructure.

• Ideological glorification of terrorism, including alignment with Hamas.

• Calls for a “global intifada” and “armed resistance” — terms synonymous with political violence.

• Targeting of Jewish institutions and individuals in acts of clear incitement.

Palestine Action now meets the legal threshold for proscription under Section 3 of the Terrorism Act 2000, just as groups such as National Action, Al-Muhajiroun, and Scottish Dawn did before them.

Our Coordinated Action Plan

Together with our partners, WBII is launching a multi-front campaign to bring this case before Parliament, the Home Office, and the wider public:

📨 Mobilising Public Support

We have launched a public letter-writing tool allowing supporters to write directly to their MPs, urging them to call on the Home Secretary to proscribe Palestine Action.

➤ Write to Your MP

🧾 Submission of Evidence to Government

Our report and booklet — along with supplementary evidence — will be formally submitted to the Home Office and Counter Terrorism Division as part of an official proscription referral request.

🏛️ Briefing Parliamentarians

We are briefing MPs, Peers, and ministers on the legal case, drawing from precedents such as:

• National Action (proscribed 2016)

• Al-Muhajiroun (and associated aliases)

• Scottish Dawn and NS131

These cases set a clear standard: where ideology, incitement, and criminality converge in pursuit of political violence, the state must act.

🤝 Building a National Coalition

We are working across communities — Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and secular — to create a united front against extremism. Palestine Action threatens the civic peace of all Britons.

📺 Public Education and Awareness

We will share testimony from victims, expert legal analysis, and investigative findings to expose the true nature of this organisation. This includes highlighting the antisemitic and antizionist impact of Palestine Action’s campaigns and the climate of fear they create.

What You Can Do

🔹 Write to your MP — ask them to support proscription proceedings.
🔹 Share our reports — circulate the links above and explain why this matters.
🔹 Speak out on social media — use the hashtag #BanPalestineAction.
🔹 Support our work — help fund legal research, campaign outreach, and policy engagement.

Why It Matters

This is about more than Palestine Action. This is about preserving the rule of law, standing up for democratic norms, and refusing to tolerate any form of ideological extremism that uses intimidation and violence to advance its aims.

We know what happens when hate is ignored. We are drawing a line — and we are calling on the Government to do the same.

Join us. Help us ensure Palestine Action is proscribed, and that our streets, communities, and public institutions are protected from extremist abuse.

Our New Model Letter:

Urgent Request to Proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000

Dear [Name of MP],

I am writing to you as your constituent and as a supporter of We Believe in Israel (WBII), Stop the Hate UK, and The Shield of David, to urge you to call on the Home Secretary to initiate formal proscription proceedings against the extremist group Palestine Action under Section 3 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

This group’s activities and public declarations clearly satisfy the legal criteria for proscription, as defined by UK law, and should no longer be treated as protest or activism. Instead, they must be recognised for what they are: a coordinated campaign of politically motivated violence and intimidation with links to proscribed terrorist groups and ideologies.

Legal Grounds for Proscription

Under Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000, terrorism is defined as the use or threat of action intended to:

• Influence the government or intimidate the public,

• Advance a political, religious or ideological cause,

• Involve serious violence against a person, serious damage to property, or create a serious risk to public health or safety.

Palestine Action’s actions fall squarely within this definition. Its members have:

• Carried out repeated criminal damage to private property, including arson and sabotage of UK-based facilities.

• Engaged in public incitement, calling for “intifada” and armed resistance — terms directly associated with terrorist violence.

• Targeted individuals and groups based on their real or perceived Jewish identity, regardless of any link to Israel or Israeli policy.

Moreover, their explicit alignment with Hamas (a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK since 2001) and celebration of “martyrs” constitutes ideological support for terrorism.

Precedent Cases

The UK has previously proscribed organisations for non-lethal but ideologically violent activity, including:

• National Action (2016) — a neo-Nazi group banned not for lethal attacks, but for glorifying terrorism, promoting violence, and inciting racial hatred.

• Scottish Dawn and NS131 (2017) — both offshoots of National Action, proscribed for maintaining the same dangerous ideology under new names.

• Al-Muhajiroun and its aliases — banned for promoting jihad and providing ideological support to terror networks, even when direct acts of terrorism had not yet been committed.

These precedents demonstrate that the UK government does not wait for mass violence to occur before acting against radical groups. The law rightly permits action where the intent, ideology, and conduct show a pattern of extremist threat.

Palestine Action’s ongoing criminal activities, public alignment with terrorist narratives, and continued intimidation of British citizens — particularly Jews — meet and arguably exceed the standards that justified these earlier bans.

The Urgent Need for Action

I ask you to raise this urgently with the Home Secretary and support a formal review of Palestine Action for proscription. The longer this group is permitted to operate under the false guise of “activism,” the greater the threat to public safety, democratic integrity, and community cohesion.

If any other organisation were systematically targeting religious or ethnic communities, justifying terrorism, and openly promoting violence, it would be banned. The law must be applied consistently.

I also urge you to consult the detailed research briefing published by We Believe in Israel — “Proliferation of Terror-Associated Symbols in the UK Pro-Palestinian Movement” — which outlines the group’s methods and ideological overlaps with other proscribed bodies.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply and would appreciate knowing whether you will take action on this serious matter.

Yours sincerely,
