British lawmakers voted on Wednesday to ban pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, after its activists broke into a military base and damaged two planes in protest at what it says is Britain's support for Israel.

Palestine Action is a pro-Palestine organisation which describes itself as a “direct action movement committed to ending global participation in Israel’s genocidal and apartheid regime”. It aims to target “corporate enablers of the Israeli military-industrial complex”.

Four activists, aged 22-35, charged over the June 20 break‑in at RAF Brize Norton, where they defaced two military planes with red paint.
