  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.

    They are terrorist because they tried to restrict access to tools of terror.

    Imagine vegetarians being accused of animal cruelty because they tried to convince people not to eat animals.
