OutRage! held an action outside a [[synagogue]] in London where it handed out leaflets comparing Lord Jakobovits's remarks to those of [[Hitler]]. This action brought accusations that the group was [[antisemitic]].

Nine members of OutRage! were arrested in November 1993 in the offices of [[Benetton Group|Benetton]] UK, where they had been organising a protest against the company's advertising. The nine were charged with various public order offences but were eventually acquitted.
