Nearly 20 Palestine Action attacks could have been prevented if the Government had proscribed them when it first considered doing so in March.

The High Court heard on Friday that proscription was first considered three months before its activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and vandalised warplanes.

Had the group been proscribed then, 19 criminal acts – including vandalism, trespass and theft – conducted by its activists since the beginning of March may have been prevented.

Palestine Action admitted to all of the attacks on its website, publishing details, images and videos.

The group is set to be proscribed after both Houses of Parliament backed the proposals.

But it is challenging the decision at the High Court, having branded it an “abuse of power”.

March 4 2025 – University of Cambridge

On March 4, Palestine Action activists sprayed the University of Cambridge’s Old Schools building with red paint.

The group said the building was where the university’s endowment fund was managed and demanded the institution end all investment in Israeli companies.

March 8 2025 – Turnberry Golf Course

Four days later, the group broke into Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf course in Scotland and painted “Gaza is not for sale” in 3 metre-high letters on its lawn.

It was a response to an AI-generated video posted by the US president on social media about a hypothetical “Trump Gaza” resort.
