Jeremy Corbyn – 2025 Statement on Palestine Action

The statement made by Jeremy Corbyn, the Independent MP for Islington North, on 23 June 2025.

The government’s proposal to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is as absurd as it is authoritarian.

It represents a draconian assault on the democratic right to protest – and is a disgraceful attempt to hide the real meaning of violence: the mass murder of Palestinians.

The UK government is complicit in genocide, and we see this latest move for what is is: an act of desperation from a government trying to shield itself from accountability.

We will keep campaigning for an end to military cooperation with Israel, and we will not rest until we have brought about the only path to peace: freedom and justice for the Palestinian people.
