Palestine Action said that pro-Israel groups had lobbied for the ban and there is evidence to support that contention.
Internal government documents released under freedom of information laws have revealed meetings, apparently to discuss Palestine Action, between the government and Israeli embassy officials, although they were heavily redacted. Ministers have also met representatives from the Israeli arms firm
Elbit Systems.
The organisation We Believe in Israel, which Labour MP Luke Akehurst used to be director of, began a campaign this month to ban Palestine Action.
In an accompanying report, it stated: "In July 2022, the group was investigated under counter-terrorism protocols following intelligence suggesting contact between some of its members and individuals linked to Hamas-aligned networks abroad (see: Metropolitan Police briefing, classified).
"While the investigation yielded no direct terror charges, it underscored the degree of concern shared by law enforcement agencies over Palestine Action's increasingly radicalised behaviour."
It is not clear how or why We Believe in Israel was granted access to classified documents.
There was no reference to links to Hamas in Cooper's statement but she did refer to Palestine Action as threatening infrastructure which supports Ukraine and Nato, echoing language in We Believe in Israel's report.

Allein im Mai haben sie 92.92 GW Kapazität installiert, weshalb sie jetzt bei 1,08TW sind, und halt im April noch knapp unter der 1TW waren.

The US Has Bombed Iran: Cast Aside Illusions

"The US has bombed Iran, just as they previously bombed Iraq and Libya. Within days, perhaps hours, we may expect the White House to announce meetings with a willing coalition of Iranian political expats who will be described as a government in exile. The bombing will continue. Obama described the bombing and sanctions strategy as “degrading” More

Activists from the Stop Arming Israel campaign blocked Monday morning the sites of the companies Syensqo, in Brussels, and OIP-Elbit, in Tournai, which they accuse of being “accomplices in the #genocide and Israel's colonial project” in #Gaza.
The police arrested nearly 700 activists from the Stop Arming #Israel campaign on Monday, the organizers of the actions said in the evening.
According to the latter, at least 650 activists were arrested after blocking the site of the arms company Syensqo in #Brussels. Around fifty other activists were also arrested and then released in Tournai, after entering the premises of the OIP-Elbit company.

"to bomb iran, feminist-ly?"

“ZAN. ZENGEDI. AZADI.” Woman. Life. Freedom.

"The truth is, Netanyahu and the Israeli government's use of the human rights abuses experienced by the Iranian people is a bastardization. Even his invocation of the Persian, not the Kurdish, translation of the Woman Life Freedom slogan is also telling, if you know the history of the movement itself."

Iran Bombards Israeli Targets with Missiles and Drones in Largest Retaliatory Strike Yet telesurenglish.net/iran-bombar…

A Palestinian teenager died after being shot by Israeli forces on Monday in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli forces briefly detained 13-year-old Ammar Mutaz Hamayel after he was shot near the village of Kafr Malik, before handing him over to a Palestinian ambulance crew, the Wafa news agency reported.

The paramedics took him to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, where he was pronounced dead.

The UK government’s intention to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 marks a significant escalation in the treatment of civil disobedience. It elevates a group known for throwing red paint at buildings and military aircraft into the same legal category as al-Qaida and Islamic State. If there’s a serious threat from these activists, we’ve yet to see it – just a ministerial statement discussing civil disobedience in the language of counterinsurgency.

controversial opinion: i'm sorry, but intl harvards students "future at risk" i call bullshit, there is other good universities out there, and those who can go to harvard are very privileged and will have a good future either way. i say these students stop whining and start a student movement like the US was supporting all over the world against other regimes. be martyrs, be revolutionaries, not whining entitled privileged demanding assholes, you'd be no better than trump.

Do not go to the US to study. Do not go to the US, period.

I've sent a letter to my MP to call for them to vote against the motion to proscribe Palestine Action.

They are a PPS to a Government Minister and have previously admitted to me that the whip is more important than their constituents or their personal views so it's unlikely to do anything but it at least puts something on the record.

One underground tunnel will soon be the only connection between 1.5 million Palestinians in the southern West Bank and the rest of the territory.

This recently approved infrastructure plan, dubbed the “Fabric of Life” project, would effectively split the West Bank into two.

The project [..] will cost $90 billion, which Israel plans to cover from a special fund it feeds with pirated Palestinian customs money.
