They definitely convicted at least a handful of them just last year, but they ended up getting less time than the Just Stop Oil people so maybe you’re right that they should have just done something cooler
Teledyne being an american one may have been the problem there. All the israeli factories such as Elbit have simply had arrested activist walk without charges.
This is the 2021 case and is before the actions really blew up. There have been literally hundreds of people arrested taking part in recent years. They just let people walk out a few hours later. Often they don’t even arrest, just detain for some time on site and take details then let people go after.
So it’s just the most recent secrets the weapons company is hiding by not going to court? And only specifically the Israeli one? Are you sure you aren’t just like…making stuff up?
The reason for it is speculation. But I’m certainly not making stuff up about people being arrested and released over and over and over. Palestine Action is not particularly heavy on hiding identities, most action is performed openly in daylight and unmasked in full view of local population called out to help take part. https://x.com/Pal_action/status/1812464348662575539
I am however concerned about the new attacks on banks they’ve been doing. These are considerably more likely to get jail time.

They definitely got charged and were mostly acquitted by a jury. Only one conviction.
