    the judge ruled that there appeared to be a ‘terrorist connection’ as the activists were attempting to influence the Israeli government by restricting its access to weapons.

    This is suuuch a stretch.

      It’s just not terrorism, by any normal understanding of that word. It doesn’t inflict any terror on anyone, either intentionally or unintentionally, nor does it even attempt to inflict terror.
