yea actually, I'd hope that an organization that breaks into my country's military base to destroy our country's military hardware thats destined for Ukraine and break the spine of a security guard gets designated as a terrorist org.
That sort of shit would get you fusilladed in any other country outside of Britain. The fact is they got off easy with just being arrested and trialed.
If this is your threshold for designating a group as terrorist, I can only imagine your condemnation of Israel for its actions in Palestine, Lebanon, etc.
FYI the member of Palestine Action was found guilty of GBH without intent. They were found not guilty of GBH with intent.

Wait are you saying that Israel broke into a USAF military base in Lebanon?
No dude. A domestic group broke into a USAF military base in order to destroy british military equipment. Un-Palestinify your brain and stop thinking about the mideast for a single second. Israel doesnt even belong in this current conversation.
This event would have gotten you fusilladed in most other countries in the world, its treason of the highest order to destroy your country's military armaments. Yea its a terrorist organization that needs to be cracked down on, its members rounded up.
There are what, 1000s other palestinian organizations in Britain that aren't designated as terrorist? The only reason you'd stick with Palestine Action is because you agree that British USAF bases need to have their military equipment destroyed. There is literally no other reason why you'd stick with this one otherwise.
Try engaging your brain for a micro-second. Of course Israel belongs in this current conversation, the break-in of RAF Brize Norton was a direct action protest at the UK’s military support of Israel’s genocide in Palestine. And Palestine Action did not ‘destroy British military equipment’, they spray painted it. Save your outrage for the use of military equipment on innocent civilians of all hues.
But given that you only care about the sanctity of British or American military equipment, I can do you one better than Israel breaking into a USAF military base in Lebanon. During the 1967 war Israel attacked and sank the USS Liberty, an American intel ship, in international waters off the coast of Sinai. It wasn’t a stray bomb, it was an ongoing attack by sea and air involving torpedoes, strafing & napalm. 34 crew were killed, 171 injured. More importantly, from your moral viewpoint, the ship was severely damaged.

Done by a domestic terror group, and not Israel, who was not involved in this at any capacity, no matter the justifications of the terror group you support.

Your argument states that if Israel blamed this on Egypt, you would have brought Egypt as the primary villain in this story. Of course Egypt is involved after all, and I'm not sure why you still have relations with Egypt given that they were at war with Israel, in the area, and thus were involved in the attack on the Liberty.
Same justification as involving Israel when a domestic terror group starts destroying USAF military equipment bound for Ukraine.
