Britain’s House of Commons has voted to ban the direct action group Palestine Action under the U.K.'s anti-terrorism laws, adding it to a list that includes ISIS and al-Qaeda. This comes just days after Palestine Action members breached an air force base and damaged warplanes to protest Britain's support for Israel’s assault on Gaza. Ahead of Wednesday’s vote, hundreds of people rallied outside 10 Downing Street to protest what they called an abuse of state power by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Labour government.

Protester: “I mean, we have — we should have freedom of speech and freedom of standing against genocide. How does that make you a terrorist? I will never understand that. And I think it’s people in power trying to silence people who are wanting to stand up for what is — what is right.”
