US designates Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation

US designates Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation The US has imposed sanctions on the direct action group Palestine Action, designating it a Specially Designated ​Global Terrorist, according ​to a notice posted on ⁠a Treasury Department website. According to the Telegraph, US officials say that the group's promotion of "acts of terrorism" on social media encourages others to adopt direct action tactics overseas, including in the US. This marks the first known case of a British left-wing group being subjected to US counter-terrorism sanctions.
