Palestine Action Continues Fundraising and Recruitment Despite Proscription

By the Editorial Team · Monday, August 31, 2026

Palestine Action continues to fundraise and recruit supporters through an international website listing over 200 UK targets, despite being banned as a terrorist organization in the UK. This ongoing online activity raises concerns about gaps in counterterrorism enforcement and will be scrutinized ahead of the group's legal challenge to its proscription at the UK Supreme Court.

Palestine Action continues to raise funds and recruit supporters for direct-action training more than a year after being banned as a terrorist organisation in the United Kingdom, according to recent findings. A website operating under the name Palestine Action Global hosts an interactive map listing over 200 potential targets across Britain. The activities of this site have raised concerns about possible enforcement gaps in existing counterterrorism legislation.

The Henry Jackson Society, a right-leaning think tank, has contacted the UK home secretary to highlight the continued online presence of Palestine Action Global and to question whether current laws or their enforcement are sufficient to curb the group's activities. The website remains accessible from within the UK and allows donations via ordinary bank cards through Stripe, a US-based payments processor. It also accepts cryptocurrency contributions and requests that supporters wishing to donate more than £1,000 in cash make direct contact. According to information on the site, these larger donors undergo vetting before alternative payment arrangements are made.

Palestine Action Global states that funds raised will support future actions, recruitment efforts, and training. Observers have noted that the site uses the same branding and logos that appeared prior to the group’s banning in July of the previous year. UK government guidance indicates that simply adopting a new name does not necessarily exempt an organisation from proscription orders.

Palestine Action is currently challenging its proscription in a legal case set to be heard by the UK Supreme Court in November. In response to questions about the website’s activities, Palestine Action maintained that Palestine Action Global is intended to expand its international reach and share information about global operations. The group emphasized that Palestine Action remains proscribed only within the UK and that the Global platform does not include any UK-based groups.

The situation underscores ongoing challenges in regulating online operations of proscribed organisations, especially when they leverage international platforms and payment systems. Authorities have yet to confirm what measures, if any, will be taken to address the continued online presence and fundraising activities of Palestine Action Global.
