Hmmm... things could now get even more difficult for Palestine Action, as the USA designates PA a 'transnational terror group'....
Whatever you think of PA, the shifting of the bar for such a designation suggests the USA is working up for a major move against left-isn protestors.
Moreover, the sanction regime this puts in place, given the UK's widespread reliance on US communications technology may be a lot more impactful on PA than the UK proscription!
