Four activists have been found guilty of causing criminal damage and grievous bodily harm (GBH) in a high-profile trial related to a daring raid on an Israeli arms company. The defendants, who were part of a group that stormed the premises, were convicted of their actions despite the judge's scathing assessment that the raid itself was a "terrorist act." The judge's comments suggest that while the activists may have been found guilty of specific crimes, their actions were deemed to be motivated by a desire to disrupt and intimidate, rather than a genuine attempt to bring about peaceful change. The verdict has sparked widespread debate about the limits of protest and the definition of terrorism.
