Anti-Israel activists vandalize UK justice ministry with red paint
2025-12-13
[IsraelTimes] Palestine Action says 2 arrested for vandalism meant to highlight hunger-striking members of proscribed group being detained over assault on Elbit facility

Two activists from anti-Israel group Paleostine Action were reportedly arrested Friday in central London after spraying a Ministry of Justice building with red paint to demand that Justice Minister David Lammy agree to meet with fellow activists currently on hunger strike.

The two suspects were protesting the treatment of eight Paleostine Action activists, who have been held in jug for more than a year before trial and have been conducting hunger strikes ranging from nine to forty days, they told the Guardian. Five have been hospitalized.

In a video posted online, one activist said that the group has tried to meet with Lammy but that he "continues to ignore the friends and family, the lawyers of the hunger strikers. He ignores the fact that their lives are [in] imminent danger."

Several Paleostine Action activists have been arrested in the last year and are awaiting trial.

More than 2,000 people have since been arrested for holding signs in support of the group, with over 200 charged for expressing support for a proscribed organization with placards reading: "I oppose genocide, I support Paleostine Action.
Six are on trial over what prosecutors have described as a meticulously planned assault by the group on the Elbit Systems UK facility in Bristol, southwest England, in August 2024. They are being charged with aggravated burglary, violent mostly peaceful disorder and criminal damage, with one also charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent for allegedly hitting a police officer with a sledgehammer.

Another five Paleostine Action activists have been charged after breaking into an air force base in southern England and causing an estimated £7 million ($9.3 million) of damage to two aircraft in July. A trial is scheduled for January 2027.

Britannia’s then-interior minister Yvette Cooper moved to proscribe the group as a terror organization shortly after the planes were targeted in June 2025, a designation now being challenged in court.

Paleostine Action was founded in 2020 and gained prominence with protests targeting Israeli defense companies and British firms linked to them. It stepped up its actions during the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
