Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 July 2025
Debate
Terrorism Act 2000 (Proscribed Organisations) (Amendment) Order 2025Contribution
Palestine Action’s attacks are not victimless crimes. As I have mentioned, employees have experienced physical violence, intimidation and harassment. They have been prevented from entering their place of work. The extortion and real-world costs cannot be continuously absorbed by individuals and companies acting lawfully—all of them in the national interest. I have to say that we would not tolerate this activity from organisations if they were motivated by Islamist or extreme right-wing ideologies, and therefore I cannot tolerate it from Palestine Action.
