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

It mentions pyrotechnics, not just smoke bombs).
Palestine Action's section goes from 5.2 to 5.8

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.

It's in 5.2, they don't just disrupt & damage corporations & military who are aiding & abetting mass slaughter. They are also disrupting & damaging corporations & military who:

provide services and supplies to support Ukraine, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
(NATO), Five Eyes allies and the UK defence enterprise

I mean yes, sure, the UK shouldn't be supporting corps/militaries who are aiding & abetting mass slaughter, that is a good part of the movement but there's more to the group than just the name implies.

Not sure where you're getting the information for sources stances from or why it matters honestly when there are other sources within them & ways to find info from sources you do trust, I'm guessing you're outside of the UK since the telegraph site isn't paywalled for the UK.

(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).

I agree but that's because people misunderstand Palestine Action & are objecting to the ban (some just to cause a scene), meanwhile becoming associated with a terrorist group through supporting them means the protestors get arrested, get a background check & are then released if they have no actual ties to the terrorist group.

(Also yes, I don't support or agree with anyone involved in the racist London rally.)
