Jewish newspapers warn the Supreme Court that lifting the Palestine Action terror ban would threaten Britain's national security

Palestine Action, whose proscription is being challenged at the Supreme Court, has been accused of targeting Jewish charities, Jewish-owned businesses, and causing millions of pounds in damage across hundreds of attacks.

The Supreme Court is set to hear a legal challenge next week over whether the proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was lawful, with security experts warning a successful challenge could embolden Hamas, Islamic State and al-Qaeda to seek their own deproscriptions. The Jewish Chronicle and Jewish News have issued a rare joint editorial urging the court to uphold the ban, warning that overturning it would threaten British national security and send a 'chilling message' to Jewish communities already facing a surge in antisemitism.

Palestine Action members fractured a policewoman's spine with a sledgehammer during a 2024 raid on an Elbit Systems factory near Bristol; she could not work for three months.

Repairs to two RAF Voyager aircraft daubed in red paint after activists breached RAF Brize Norton have already cost £1.7 million, with the final bill potentially reaching £15 million.
