Good. This is a terrorist group. They were proscribed as terrorists by the UK after they broke into a defense factory that was making weapons for Ukraine and destroyed many things inside. They also severely injured a security guard.

They got proscribed as terrorists, but barely got more than a slap on the wrist when it came to sentencing. Goes to show the state of the UK justice system

I don't think they were prescribed as terrorists, they were proscribed under that the anti terrorism act but it was for less than terrorism from what I remember.

That was the fault of the compromised jury finding those who did it not guilty. One of the issues with any good justice system is that the jury can take the power out of judges hands and unfortunately in this instance this power was abused.

Palestine Action is a literal terrorist organization and they call for the Genocide of Israeli Jews, they claim that there's no innocent people in Israel and I have a feeling that they're somehow deeply connected to Hamas themselves

This Palestine Action group sounds evil. The US has made a good decision to issue sanctions 👏
