Two of the activists at Lakenheath, Margaret Owen, a 94-year-old human rights lawyer, and Rajan Naidu, have both taken part in similar protests before.
Owen said she “had been protesting for years on behalf of the Palestinians”.
She was arrested following a demonstration in Liverpool during the Labour Party conference in September and, more recently, after a protest outside the US Embassy in London.
Naidu had been arrested and charged following a protest in April outside Lakenheath.
“I say we’re in peaceful civil resistance to injustice, to corruption, to war crimes, to crimes against humanity, against infanticide, genocide. That’s what we are,” said Naidu.
Police have been charging protesters with conspiracy to commit a public nuisance, obstruction of a highway and locking on.
A UN commission of inquiry has said Israel has deliberately targeted Palestinian children resulting in genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has repeatedly defended itself against claims of genocide.
