I've never felt censored in the UK until now. #censorship
How do you discuss the dry facts of #proscription without sounding like you could be giving support to a proscribed group?
To be clear for the absence of doubt, I'm not expressing or implying any support here, I'm simply unsure of where any such line is.

Interpretation
The word ‘Palestine’ is being declared unlawful.
What next? The letters P A L E S T I and N and not necessarily in that order.
I hope this brings the law into disrepute and those bar stewards in Westminster are forced to take a measured approach - such as charging people for criminal damage (where it occurs).
The Guardian · Man arrested in Glasgow for holding sign allegedly supportive of Palestine Action
It did not take the Police long(armed police in this case) to ‘take liberties’ with their interpretation of the proscription of Palestine Aid
One of the police officers told Murton they were “trying to be fair”, adding: “We could have jumped out, arrested you, dragged you off in a van.” - are the Met going all ICE?
The Guardian · Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag
Southport inquiry to consider curfews for ‘potential criminals’
This is all we need. #Curfews for ‘#potential’ criminals - it will fit right in with #proscription of #protest groups and more. #Labour will love it.
OK it is only being ‘considered’ - but I bet it will be met with a joyous political response. A slippery slope.
#CraigMurray reporting on the High Court #PalestineAction #proscription hearing on the #CrispinFlintoff show, quoting government lawyers as they argued in favour of banning the group.

Palestine Action: Final Statement Before Proscription
DESPITE OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO STOP THE PROSCRIPTION OF PALESTINE ACTION, THE BAN WILL COME IN AT MIDNIGHT
In five years, we have managed to build a direct action movement which successfully disrupted and challenged the Israeli weapons industry. Through relentless actions and the willingness to sacrifice our liberty, we’ve forced shut three Israeli weapons factories, pressured over a dozen companies to cut ties with Elbit Systems and cost the Israeli weapons maker £billions in lost contracts. The most important victory is building an effective global movement in service of the Palestinian people.
It’s clear, we were too effective and the government had to impose the most draconian attack on civil liberties to please the pro-Israel lobby. They may be able to proscribe ‘Palestine Action’, but they can not stop direct action happening across the country in different forms. We are more than just a name, or a network, we are an idea that can never be stopped. To be clear, they can not proscribe the TACTIC of direct action for Palestine.
We are extremely grateful for all of the support we have received over the past few years, and the outpouring of solidarity since the intention to proscribe us was announced. This proscription CAN NOT go unchallenged, and we are pleased to see many who are adamant on resisting the ban through a campaign of civil disobedience.
Breaking unjust laws is a moral duty. Unaffiliated campaign groups, Defend Our Juries and ‘we do not comply’ (wedonotcomply.org), will lead on defiance of the ban and resist the extreme counter-terror laws imposed on all of us. It is a given that there will be resistance.
However, we are also aware that anyone, knowingly or mistakenly, could be committing a terrorist offence just by liking or sharing our social media posts, if they are a British national or are in the ‘United Kingdom’. This could lead to vulnerable communities being harassed and targeted by the state. Whilst we encourage and support a campaign of civil disobedience, all who take part must do so on an informed basis. That’s why our social media will be taken down. For clarity, Palestine Action is ONLY proscribed in Britain.
Many will be rightfully angry at the imposed proscription of Palestine Action. However, with repression always comes more resistance. This is a moment that the British state will likely come to regret. It’s a signal to all of us who are willing to resist, to make the ban unenforceable.
We must resist for our own rights and most importantly, for the Palestinian people facing a genocide. We are all Palestine Action isn’t just a slogan, it’s a state of resistance.
COLLECTIVELY, WE WILL RESIST AND ULTIMATELY, WE WILL WIN

The National · LIVE: Palestine Action in court to challenge UK Government’s terrorist ban
For those who think that petitions might have some effect (if only discomfort)
We, the undersigned, call on the UK Home Secretary to urgently proscribe the "Israel Defense Forces (IDF)" as a terrorist organisation, under the Terrorism Act 2000. We believe their actions meet this definition and that they pose a threat to the safety and security of innocent civilians.

38 DegreesYvette Cooper- Proscribe the IDFThe "IDF" has repeatedly carried out large-scale, deliberate acts of violence against civilians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
It is our sincerely held belief that the atrocities and tactics used by the "Israel Defense Forces (IDF)" are designed to inflict terror and are consistent with the UK Definition of Terrorism (Terrorism Act 2000, Section 1)
We believe the "IDF" has met multiple criteria within this definition, and that its actions pose a threat to the safety & security of...

RAF base vandalism not enough to justify Palestine Action ban
Over reaction or are there ‘secrets’ that Labour do not wish to tell anyone about?
Labour will be coming for many more people in the coming years - and the polis love being able to muster ‘overwhelming force’ against the weak. Whatever your thought on PA, terrorism laws are being abused - and the government will continue to do so.
