A Channel 4 doco on Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist organisation alleges the proscription was done at the behest of Elbit Systems.

"The UK is complicit in grave violations of international law and has not only failed to meet its international legal obligations, but has actively breached them. Some British citizens, concerned with justice, international law, and human rights, have peacefully stepped in to challenge their government’s wrongdoing. The state’s response has been to criminalise dissent while presenting repression as democratic self-defence"
