Nevertheless, a number of important points have been raised about the legal framework by noble Lords who take different views on the wisdom of proscribing Palestine Action at the moment. The essential case against Palestine Action that was read out—the level of violence and systematic criminal damage of property in the name of the cause—clearly meets the definition of terrorism in the 2000 Act. Violence has been associated with a number of those acts; that and their targeting of national infrastructure and our means to defend ourselves clearly meet the definition.
