Their latest action was against the planes, but they have actually been extraordinarily successful at damaging the economic machine behind the genocide through targeted and sustained sabotage campaigns against Elbit Systems weapons manufacturer and their supporters, like Barclays Bank. They have already forced the closure of two weapons factories and forced Barclays to divest. It is most likely this sustained campaign that is the real reason for the terrorist designation, though the action at Brize Norton was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back.

The Canary has covered a lot of their actions against Elbit and others. I’ve linked the search page above… They’ve honestly done so much stuff that this’ll probably be easier and you can just scroll through the articles.
Thank you. I see lots of vandalism, breaking and entering, blocking business entrances, and such. They are well organized and committed. They seem to have some success with that as in companies divesting or stopping to supply. Pretty impressive.
Going after the RAF for a tenuous connection to Israel was a bit too daring and turned out to be a mistake.
Agreed. I think they probably could’ve kept at it for a while if they hadn’t fucked with the RAF, but it’s at least put a huge spotlight on them I guess. Hopefully, other Brits will take up the banner under different names/orgs.
It certainly made proscribing them an easy sell; you won’t find many people who think it’s unreasonable of the government to take a dim view of sabotage.
Hopefully it won’t distract too much from the bigger story of almost everyone apart from the government taking a dim view of genocide.

Sabotaging the tools of genocide should be supported by everyone who isn’t a monster.
