There is an overwhelming consensus that terrorism involves the use or threat of violence against civilians for a political purpose.

So says JUSTICE, the UK section of the International Commission of Jurists.

Jewish Voice for Labour sees no legitimate grounds for the UK government declaring Palestine Action a ‘terrorist organisation’. There is no shred of evidence that Palestine Action has ever, or has ever intended to, endanger the lives of British civilians, or indeed anyone. But for political and deeply flawed reasons, the Government has decided to attempt to apply the law on charges of “serious damage to property…to advance a political cause”.

It seems that Palestine Action stands convicted, in the eyes of the government, of conspiring to save Palestinian lives.
