A Daily Mail analysis shows that the Met Police has arrested at least 1,984 people for allegedly supporting Palestine Action since it was sanctioned.
The group was made a proscribed terrorist organisation on July 5 after its activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and vandalised a plane.
The government's move was heavily criticised by civil liberties groups as a gross overreach of the state that conflated protest with terror.
Despite the proscription, thousands have taken to streets across the country to show their support for both Palestine Action and the people of Gaza several times.
The force arrested 857 people at a protest in London on September 6 for supporting the group in the Met's biggest sweep since the July proscription.
And today, officers picked up an additional 493 people who took to central London, just days after they were called to cancel the demonstration in light of the synagogue terror attack in Manchester earlier this week by Jewish groups still reeling from the tragedy.
The Met has been slammed for allegedly overzealousness in its arrests.
At a protest in London's Parliament Square on August 9, Brighton engineer Miles Pickering was arrested for wearing a T-shirt that read 'Plasticine Action'.
The T-shirt had an image of the stop-motion character Morph with two thumbs up inside the the letter 'O', along with text that reads: 'We oppose AI-generated animation'.
Pickering told the Guardian shortly after his arrest that it only took a glance from a cop to lead to his detention: 'I'm like: 'Well, there you go, Plasticine Action.' He looked down and he said: 'Right, you're nicked.' And I thought: 'Oh, here we go'.'
He said that after he was brought to a makeshift booking suite outside the Met's headquarters, several protesters cheered in solidarity.
'They were all cheering us, and I was cheekily pointing to my T-shirt and going 'Plasticine Action!' to everyone, so they were taking photos of me, and everyone was laughing at how silly it was that I was getting arrested for being a Plasticine terrorist', said Pickering.
The August 9 protest saw the Met arrest a total of 532 people, 522 of whom were taken in for allegedly supporting Palestinian action while the other 10 were detained for other assaulting, obstructing or racially aggravating officers or breaching Public Order Act conditions placed on the area.
An analysis of the arrest figures at that rally showed that half of the people detained by cops were over the age of 60.
Of the 519 people arrested who confirmed their dates of birth, 49.9% were 60 or older.
Nearly 100 people at that demonstration were in their 70s, while 15 were in their 80s.
Among those arrested that day was Sir Jonathon Porritt, 75, a former government adviser who has repeatedly rallied against the erosion of civil liberties by successive governments.
He said Palestine Action's proscription was 'a measure of the government's desperation' and 'entirely inappropriate'.
Porritt added: 'I thought this was overreach by the home secretary, trying to eliminate the voices of those who are deeply concerned about what is happening in Gaza,' he said.
'This was an absolutely clear case of a government using its powers to crush dissenting voices when it is the government itself that is most reprehensible for what continues to be an absolute horror story in the world.
'What we are seeing now in Gaza has just utterly shocked people and it's completely abhorrent that we are living through a genocide on our TV screens.'
Many others at today's protests voiced similar concerns.
Mike Higgins, 62, who is blind and uses a wheelchair, said he expects to be arrested for holding a poster supporting the banned group as police continue to detain activists.
He told the PA news agency he is here again 'because of the genocide, the absolute, dreadful inhumanity of the Israeli state in the way that is treating the people of Palestine'.
Asked why he did not heed Sir Keir Starmer's calls to postpone or cancel today's action, he said: 'Well, I didn't think he negotiated with terrorists. We're supposed to be terrorists, aren't we Sir Keir now, either we are or we're not.
'If we're not terrorists, then leave us alone. Let us protest. Let us demonstrate for the right to freedom of speech.'
He added: 'We are going to win this battle, by the way, there's no doubt about that. The problem for me is that I want to win it now to try and bring an end to the suffering in Palestine.'
Hilary Callam, 83, from Hampton Court, west London, said she was prepared to be arrested for the first time in her life.
She said: 'I have very strong feelings against this ban. We are not direct action. We're not violent.
'The arguments not to come this week were convincing and heartfelt. I was in two minds. But I wouldn't want to let terror win.
'I have never been arrested before. I would not rule out coming back. I am not worried about being arrested today.'
Finlay Hoskins, 26, from Southampton, was also prepared to be arrested today.
Mr Hoskins, who is on disability benefits, said: 'I don't support the government. What happened on October 7 is horrible. What happened in Manchester is horrible.
'I have my sign which supports Palestine Action. I don't care. I'm scared. But it's the right thing.'
But today's protest was harshly criticised, as it came just a few days after Al-Shamie, 35, drove into a group of people before stabbing a man outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall.
Al-Shamie, 35, was shot dead at the scene wearing what appeared to be a suicide vest. The device was later discovered not to be viable.
Dave Rich, director of policy at the Community Security Trust charity which provides protection for the Jewish community, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'I think it's phenomenally tone deaf, to say the least, for so many people who claim to care about human rights and care about freedoms, to be taking police resources away from protecting the rights and freedoms of Jewish people to live their lives and go to synagogue in safety, all to support a proscribed terrorist organisation, which is not the same thing as supporting the Palestinians.
'And I think it's remarkably self-absorbed and insensitive, to say the least.'
