Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism
If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally RooneySally Rooney (The Guardian)

"Government [of U.K.] confirms it will ban Palestine Action group under anti-terrorism laws"
theguardian.com/politics/live/…
Of course. The government of U.K. has a very strong stance in active support of genocide, so speech against and taking direct action against the weapons used for genocide can not be allowed in England this year of 1725.
So there is the correct answer to the poll that I tooted yesterday, although that poll is just about to close.
Government confirms it will ban Palestine Action under anti-terror legislation – UK politics live
It will become a criminal offence to belong to the campaign group which damaged two military planes last weekDaniel Lavelle (The Guardian)
a man yelled "britain first" while slaying a sitting MP in the streets of England. Britain First was never proscribed.

‘It’s a complete assault on free speech’: how Palestine Action was targeted for proscription as terrorists
It started as a group of activists on a budget – now it could be banned under terrorism laws. But were lobbyists behind the proposed ban?Haroon Siddique (The Guardian)
but the point of that picture was to make it similar to and contrast with the definitions as seen in Merriam-Webster's and similar,
so the verbosity was intentional to make the similarity more apparent.
The actual shorter current redefinition variant, which is very similar to what you wrote, which I have brought up in conversations is something like "Someone persons currently in power dislike", as that is the limitation separating when it actually has redefining effect and has relevant impact from just some random nut declaring something like "ooh, those bicyclists, they're all terrorists" or something similar but nobody cares.
"Palestine Action documentary makers fear being criminalised under anti-terror laws" theguardian.com/film/2025/jun/… as the knowingly actively significantly and personally co-culpable right-wing Starmer-lead regime in a direct assault against the foundation of the very concept of democracy seek to prevent the general public from being shown that Palestine Action under no reasonable person's understanding of the word do anything actually reasonably describable as "terrorism",
but instead do what is the moral imperative for any person able to, and the legally required minimum for that government itself to, act against an ongoing actual genocide.

Palestine Action is part of Britain’s proud history of protest. Proscribing it is an assault on democracy
Through decades of anti-racist campaigning, I have seen that peaceful, direct action can be the only way to get results, says campaigner Suresh GroverSuresh Grover (The Guardian)
as >20 people were arrested for supporting Palestine Action opposing the current Palestinian Genocide which the current government and its sibling Tory-opposition are all in on actively aiding.
reuters.com/world/uk/uk-police…
The Palestine Action group has consistently exclusively committed actions firmly within the recent centuries of established political protest, back to the Suffragettes and beyond, but now redefined as "terrorism" by the genocide-supporting ruling class, threatening the very foundation of anything claimable as democracy.
I could fully understand this if it was just a few groups calling what is happening Genocide, but the UN and other well resected bodies are doing the same, including the UN raporteur featured in the talk video posted here. So what does Sir Kier have to say about that now.
If the UN issues an arrest warrant will the police execute.

UK government's decreed "terrorism"-labeling of non-terroristic Palestine Action is "at odds with [=in violation of] the UK’s obligations under international human rights law", says UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (too),
while as so many others already pointed out they "have not themselves engaged in any underlying criminal activity but rather exercised their rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association".
theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
The government on the other hand, is actively knowingly arming and significantly aiding ongoing genocide, crimes against humanity,
which Palestine Action's actions highlighted, which in turn is extremely likely why they were actually banned, for pointing out the rulers' extremely probably severely criminal acts.

"UK: Peaceful protesters treated as terrorists as politicians fuel far-right activity
Thousands of police were deployed to London last weekend to arrest more than 500 peaceful protesters, as racist protests took place across the country. There is a relentless crackdown on foreign nationals, now including immediate deportation for any non-citizen convicted of a criminal offence. Critics warn that mainstream political rhetoric is legitimating and fuelling violent far-right activity.
On Saturday 9 August, British police officers arrested 521 people in London’s Parliament Square on charges of supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation.
The reason? Holding placards saying: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
Statements such as this are now punishable by up to 14 years in prison, following the government’s decision to ban Palestine Action at the beginning of July."
