The Terrorism Act 2000 was the consolidation of pre curser legislation trialled in the North of Ireland, designed to criminalise entire movements by labelling them as terrorist organisations.

Once a group is proscribed, even expressing support, attending a meeting, or discussing it critically can become a criminal offence. This framework also targets all Palestinian resistance.

As Franck Magennis explains in his interview with DropSite News, the law deliberately makes it difficult to even talk about groups like the Islamic resistance movement, regardless of their political or civilian roles.

This has a chilling effect on aid, advocacy, and solidarity with Palestine as a whole.

The British state criminalises opposition to genocide and protects only colonial narratives.
