    A jury at Bradford Crown Court has defied a judge’s attempts to rule out any legal argument about the imperative of disrupting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and has refused to convict four Palestine Action ‘actionists’ who caused over half a million pounds’ worth of damage to a Teledyne weapons factory supplying missile parts to Israel.

    Bravo. I hope more follow in their footsteps.

      I’m on the defendants side in this case. But remember jury nullification also leads to things like racist murderers getting away with it because juries wouldn’t convict a white guy for murdering a black guy.
