I don't know much about this activist group,

But the Wiki seems to provide information that would be counter to your 'non-violent' claim.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action#Other_protests

Are these entries in the Wiki false?

Nope, but they don't describe any violence. Violence is harming PEOPLE, not damaging property.

If you think that daubing weapons of genocide with red paint is violence, let alone makes you a fucking TERRORIST, you really need to reexamine your values.

A fashion terrorist maybe.

They're not false, but they don't show the whole picture, as one paragraph seldom can.

If you are referring the action in Runcorn, of which they are said to have "stormed, scaled, and occupied" the premises of the military equipment manufacturer at 4.30am, I wouldn't say that counts as violence. I would say that violence is typically considered harm to a person or people, not windows and drones.

Did you even skim those entries?

Where is the violence? All those entries amount to vandilism and maybe criminal mischief.

To play the advocate of the devil: vandalism does meet the first definition of violence here: Behavior or treatment in which physical force is exerted for the purpose of causing damage or injury. (Emphasis mine) It does not need to target a person.
