As the trial finished at Woolwich Crown Court of the six Palestine Action
activists who entered the Filton factory to destroy Israeli killer drones,
Starmer, Cooper, Lammy and Mahmood are left bereft of a single guilty verdict in
the case on which they relied heavily to label Palestine Action as a terrorist
organisation.

I could not, on pain of imprisonment, tell you this during the trial. One item
produced by the prosecution as evidence was the notebook of Charlotte Head, on
which she had written details from her training session with Palestine Action
and of the proposed direct action against Elbit's drone factory.

The first ten pages of her notes were about the Israeli weapons company Elbit,
their footprint in the UK, their corporate structure and the weapons they
manufacture, and the evidence of the use of their weaponry in the genocide in
Gaza.

The jury were shown the notebook but were specifically not allowed to see the
first ten pages. Throughout the trial anything that referred to the crimes of
Elbit, their role in the mass killing and mutilation of women and children, and
their cosy relationship with the British government, was excluded from the
jury. The judge continually stopped the defence lawyers from asking or saying
anything about who ELbit are or why their property was being attacked.

The defendants were not permitted therefore to explain to the jury why they did
what they did, which you might have believed was a pretty fundamental right. The
jury were additionally in effect instructed by Judge Johnson to convict on the
least serious charge, that of of criminal damage.

But despite the state taking every possible precaution to ensure that the state
got its convictions in this show trial, the jury refused to find that trying to
stop Genocide is a crime.
