Gaza protests continue same revolutionary ‘omni-cause’ given life by Black Lives Matter

A report says Palestine Action supporters continue to recruit people and claim responsibility for violent acts, despite the United States designating the group a terrorist organisation in August. It links the group’s activity to a wider protest movement described in the headline as an “omni-cause” shaped by Black Lives Matter, though the article text provides little detail about that connection.

James “Fergie” Chambers, who cofounded the group’s US branch, is being held in Spain while contesting extradition to the United States. Sealed US documents reportedly accuse him of funding Hamas and helping the group with a 2023 riot in New Hampshire; supporters most recently claimed responsibility for ransacking a Manhattan bank on 19 October.
