They are not a protest group. On its own website, Palestine Action describes itself thusly: "Direct action, which we employ, bypasses our complicit government and forces the necessary change ourselves – it doesn’t involve appealing to those who perpetrate Palestinian oppression."
I daresay there are a few idealistic and insufficiently informed students who are useful idiots within their ranks, but, in essence, this is a Fifth Column organisation, which has pitted itself against the British Government, its foreign policy and its allies. The suggestion is that it is funded and supported by a foreign government.
Palestine Action boasts on its website:
Through sustained direct action, Palestine Action has forced Elbit to shut down weapons factories, lose lucrative contracts and partnerships with several other firms.
So, Palestine Action cares not at all about the jobs of British working people, nor about legitimate business. It is wholly committed to advancing the interests of Britain's enemies and reducing the capacity of our ally, Israel, to defend itself from invasion, incursion and missile attack from Iran and its proxies who have clearly stated, multiple times, their intent to eradicate the Jewish people and wipe the state of Israel from the map.
The latest direct action, better described as treasonous sabotage, was to attack Britain's defence capability. Again, from their website and in their own words;
"Palestine Action have damaged two military planes at RAF Brize Norton..... Two activists broke into the largest air force base in Britain and used electric scooters to swiftly manoeuvre towards the planes. They used repurposed fire extinguishers to spray red paint into the turbine engines of two Airbus Voyagers and caused further damage using crowbars. Red paint.... was also sprayed across the runway and a Palestine flag was left on the scene. Both activists managed to evade security and arrest. "
They boast that they put the planes out of service. God knows, Britain's air force, fleet and soldiers are scant enough - and these traitorous "activists" have further reduced our capacity at a time of war. They are either utter charlies or traitors - I'm not accepting idealist humanitarians as a defence here. It is too serious.
Wiki defines Fifth Column as: "A fifth column is a group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or another nation. The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine. Forces gathered in secret can mobilize openly to assist an external attack. The term is also applied to organized actions by military personnel. Clandestine fifth column activities can involve acts of sabotage, disinformation, espionage or terrorism executed within defence lines by secret sympathizers with an external force."
Time to proscribe the organisation, remove its website, arrest its members and freeze its funding. There's a world of difference between going on a march whilst mouthing offensive platitudes about Gaza and disabling Britain's Air Force.
As for the foolish young people who have enjoyed dressing in red boiler suits and letting off smoke bombs - is there anywhere we can deport them to? Where they may feel more culturally aligned with the regime? At least can we show them the unedited footage of the October 7th massacre, as recorded by Hamas terrorist body cameras so Hamas could boast about what they had done in pursuit of their goal to eradicate Jews? Excuse me, isn't that genocide? The film that Self Publicist Dwarf Thunderberg and her disciples refused to watch after being apprehended by Israeli Defence Forces during their laughable, publicity seeking attempt to bring in by boat a token quantity of aid, for fuck's sake, into Gaza? Defence Minister Israel Katz said he'd instructed IDF officials to show the activists the full, unedited footage of the October 7 attacks. "It is appropriate that the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow Hamas supporters see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they work is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly, and children, and against whom Israel is fighting to defend itself,' he said.
"Greta and her flotilla companions were taken into a room upon their arrival to the screening of the horror film of the October 7 massacre... when they saw what it was about, they refused to continue watching. The anti-Semitic flotilla members are turning a blind eye to the truth and have proven once again that they prefer the murderers to the murdered and continue to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, adults, and children."
The Middle East, apart from Iran, natch, is breathing a collective sigh of relief and quietly thanking President Trump and Allah ( the merciful, etc), who directed that assassin's bullet to clip the presidential ear and not plough into the presidential brain. As Tom Tugendhat, MP for Tonbridge and former Minister of State for Security, pointed out this morning - not one of the Middle Eastern neighbours of Iran has condemned American action in removing Iran's nuclear capabilities with extreme prejudice. Everyone is delighted. No-one wants a nuked-up Iran. Apart from the appalling Coventry MP Zarah Sultana,
appearing on the Laura Kuenssberg politics show this morning, to sneer at everyone, and tell us it was just like 2003 again, and, of course, the hysterical Iranian Ambassador; there was dignified jubilating.
Jonathan Reynolds, Secretary of State for Business and Trade and President of the Board of Trade, was trotted out on the politics programmes to comment on the Trumpian development. Odd that. You'd think Government would have punted a spokesman with a more active defence role in theses parlous times - but maybe they want the nation to consider the business aspects of these Middle Eastern adventures. Anyway, don't you think he looks like a minor royal now he's grown the beard? Albeit with a Durham accent. He can certainly summon regal gravitas when he wants to - as when he informed us that “not a week goes by” without Iran targeting cyber attacks on the UK’s critical national infrastructure, and that 20 state-backed plots by Iran in Britain have been foiled since 2022. We'll just have to take that on trust, I suppose, as it would be a breach of national security to tell us just how much of a threat we are living under. And this is the legacy of the lies the Labour Government told us back in 2003 to persuade the nation to wage war on Iraq on account of their "weapons of mass destruction" - Sultana can call in aid the Alistair Campbell fake dossier to cast doubt on the threat that Iran now poses -well, posed, until the US took out three nuclear sites in Iran at midnight yesterday. Trouble is, Beardie Jonathan is known for being a little economical with the actualité : back in February he was facing calls to resign after falsely claiming to be a solicitor on his online C.V. He subsequently updated his profile to say that he was a "trainee solicitor", not a solicitor, in the Manchester Branch of the Addleshaw Goddard law firm between 2009 and 2010.
I think he's telling the truth about Iran - but, as ever, we just have to take it on trust.
By the way, the Israeli Defence Forces have just recovered the dead bodies of three hostages captured without provocation or declaration of war on Israeli territory and held prisoner, illegally, since October 2023, in the Hamas hell hole of tunnels created with stolen Western aid. There are 50 more hostages still held by Hamas. Hamas, just to remind ourselves, is a terrorist organisation funded and supported by Iran, as are Hezbollah and the Houthis. All committed to murdering the entirety of the Jewish people in Israel. Again, Genocide, much?
These gentlemen are Houthis. Yemen’s Houthi-led rebel government has announced its full backing for the group’s armed wing, which vowed to target American ships in the Red Sea following the United States having bombed Iran's nuclear facilities. The Houthis declared in a statement issued on Saturday: “We affirm the Republic of Yemen’s commitment to the armed forces’ declaration that they were ready to target US ships and warships in the Red Sea.”
They really shouldn't. President Trump won't like that.

It is the Islamic Reformation, mrs i, but it will take another generation or two.
Welcome back, mr mongoose, you've been missed.
I have a young friend - well, he's middle aged now, but I've known him since he was a little boy - who is employed in a managerial capacity in the construction of The Line, a horizontal skyscraper in north-west Saudi Arabia. He's making considerable amounts of money and says that living in an Islamic country is ok as they can pop over the border to Jordan for a weekend when they want to get drunk. The Saudis are Westernising fast and rapidly exploring diversification as they need to secure alternative income streams for when the oil runs out. I guess it is in these practicalities that the hard-line Islamic doctrine will blur. The problem in Iran entirely rests with the nature of the theocracy and the fact that they have based their power and control on the twin pillars of America bad, Israel badder. Or the other way around. Kind of hampers them engaging in sensible and honest diplomatic discussion with the Great Satan.
Hi mrs Ishmael........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbZQ6MhYoLA food for thought maybe Regards Henry
Welcome to our discourses, mr henry. The video that you linked to is, indeed, food for thought. Women with uncovered hair and no face veils? Were the religious enforcement police having a day off?
Not just eye ran mrs I.

Apparently the bible says the above is true.
I watched the little video you provided the link for, mr inmate. Isn't it all rather irrelevant? I don't care about the origin myths of the peoples of the Middle East - nor about what Christians believe about the origins of their religion. It's all made-up news and filth. I do care about Iran not developing a nuclear weapon, though, and I'm rather grateful to Donald Trump and his decisiveness and Israel's plan to take out Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and now, the head of the serpent, the theocracy controlling Iran.
Irrelevant no, mrs I, it shows we’ve been convinced by a group of conmen that we are anti semites, racists even, for questioning anything about Israel and it’s motives, when ‘they’ are not Israelites but the tribe of judah.
Ooh we mustn’t allow Iran nuclear weapons but Israel well yes, of course.
Total destruction of us all has been prevented, so far, by both the good guys and the bad guys, whoever they are, having the ability to end it all. Do we believe Soviet Russia and the eastern bloc would have become what they are today without nuclear ‘defence’ ?
The group of conmen are the pro Hamas propagandists, mr inmate, who have got the useful idiots dressed up in keffiyehs, waving Palestinian flags and accusing Israel of genocide. What a neat reversal of the facts, what a triumph for the enemies of the West to have the left marching the streets of our cities in support of our enemies.
Iran mustn't have a nuclear weapon because the mad ass-hatters running its theocracy and pretending to believe in a stoneage religion will turn their nukes on Israel and on its allies - that is, us. You know what these nutjobs chant? Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the U.K.
Simple self-preservation. In the now - not in Biblical times.
There's a little Chinese proverb: “If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”
So, thanks, Donald, for giving us peace in the present - if only for a while.
Agree with all of the above mrs I, however the enemies of the west are our own leaders, importing those same people who chant ‘death to the west’. And it is Biblical and Koranic promises that drive these fucking idiots on, they are ‘right’ and always will be ‘right’, there is no compromise with these people.
The liberalleft are out in force at Glastonbury, calling for death of the IDF an you ain’t getting your country back whitey, the crowd lapped it up.
Perhaps we should give the eyeranians nukes, then the whole of the Middle East from Somalia to Parkistan can be turned to glass.
You'll probably want to continue our quarrel, mr inmate, on the comments thread of today's Sunday Ishmael.
