The accused will appear in court across several dates in October, and face a possible maximum sentence of six months imprisonment if found guilty, the Met said. The UK government proscribed Paleostine Action as a terror group in July following acts of vandalism at a Royal Air Force base, which caused an estimated £7 million ($9.3 million) in damage to two aircraft. The group said its activists were responding to Britannia’s indirect military support for Israel during the war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

Last week, Irish author Sally Rooney vowed to give fees generated by two BBC adaptations of her books to Paleostine Action.
