Asserts they 'used violence' with no specifics other than that they scared people with smoke bombs. Government justifying its authoritarian crackdown.

Paywalled. The part I can see refers to the airforce base vandalism.

Founded as a project of the neo-conservative Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, whose previous president is now high up in the Netanyahu government, NGO Monitor has spent more than a decade with one task: attacking pro-peace, pro-democracy, or human rights organizations that offer criticism of Israeli government policy.

A communist gives them money.
Better start locking up all those pensioners who sit in the street with a cardboard sign.
Just a few examples.
Meanwhile 26 policemen are wounded at the racist rally in London. That's 25 more people than I can find evidence of Palestinian Action ever harming.
They are protestors who seek to disrupt and damage the corporations and military who are aiding and abetting mass slaughter. They are not terrorising the public. They are branded as terrorists because they target corporations and embarrass the military and the government.
Time and again, I've seen people on these boards contemptuous of protestors who pull stunts or inconvenience the public (Just Stop Oil, for example). 'Why don't you go after the real offenders, you performative cowards!', they cry. Well that's what Palestine Action are doing.
And of course, I don't agree with it one bit. Not me. Don't support them at all. Ever.
(Sarcasm aside, I actually don't endorse everything Palestinian Action has done. But I do object to seeing peaceful people handcuffed and thrown in the back of a police van for holding a sign. It's a disgrace).
