Pro-Palestine groups told 'go to Gaza' in GB News rant as guest rages 'don't infest our streets with sectarianism'

He argued that Palestine Action would be considered terrorists "in the books of the most right-minded people in Britain".

Bhogal questioned why activists concerned about conflicts abroad remained in the UK. "If these people are so bothered about a foreign war, a foreign conflict thousands of miles away, then what on Earth are they doing here in Britain?" he asked.

"Why aren't they in Gaza? Why aren't they in Kashmir?"

He urged protesters to "go to Gaza" if they wanted to fight for Palestine, or "go to Pakistan" if they wanted to fight for Kashmir, adding: "Don't infest our streets with your sectarianism."

Bhogal outlined his "Gandhi test" theory for determining legitimate peaceful protest. "I believe right now that peaceful protest is the fundamental right of any free democracy," he said.

"But that comes when the people or the groups that you are protesting against feel safe to walk through your protest and not feel intimidated or harassed or be targeted."

He claimed Palestine Action would fail this test alongside "Extinction Rebellion and a whole host of other loony left groups."

"I think most British Jews would not feel safe walking in the middle of protests by the likes of Palestine Action," Bhogal added.

Bhogal's comments came as senior politicians demanded Palestine Action be banned following a security breach at RAF Brize Norton. Activists broke into the air base and sprayed red paint into the engines of two Airbus Voyager aircraft.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: "Palestine Action must be proscribed as a terrorist organisation after the attack on RAF planes at Brize Norton."

Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick told Sir Keir Starmer: "You are the Prime Minister – do something. Ban Palestine Action. Investigate the security breach."

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the breach "deeply concerning" and said: "This is not lawful protest, it is politically motivated criminality."

The group has been involved in previous violent protests, including vandalising offices, spray-painting a historic portrait of Arthur Balfour at Trinity College, Cambridge, and stealing busts from the University of Manchester.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will move to proscribe Palestine Action in the coming weeks, effectively branding them as a terrorist organisation, the BBC understands.

Cooper is preparing a written statement before Parliament on Monday which, if passed, will make becoming a member of the group illegal. The decision will then need to be enacted through new legislation.

The move follows a security review at military bases across the UK after the RAF Brize Norton incident.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the action as "disgraceful," describing it as an "act of vandalism."

Proscribing Palestine Action would make it illegal to be a member, invite support for it, or wear clothing or carry placards backing the group. Anyone caught doing so would face up to 14 years in prison, putting the group on par with Islamic State, Hamas or Al-Qaeda.
