In this episode of the House of Dissent podcast, we delve deep into the British government's controversial decision to designate Palestine Action as a terrorist organization. Stemming from an incident where activists used red paint on military aircraft, this decision raises questions about the nature of terrorism itself. The episode examines the collaboration between pro-Israeli groups, the right-wing press, and government officials, highlighting the societal and political implications.

Our host critiques the choice to label peaceful protest, characterized by symbolic actions like spray-painting, alongside genuine acts of aggression and state-backed violence. We explore how the media amplifies certain narratives to shape public perception and the importance of civil society in maintaining a space for protest against perceived injustices.

Listen in as we untangle the coordination behind Palestine Action's designation, the criticisms leveled at Labour leaders, and their surprisingly sympathetic stance towards Israel despite ongoing violence in Gaza and the West Bank. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the shifting definitions of terrorism and the challenges facing modern protest movements.
