| 0:00.0 | This is deeply disturbing. It should absolutely chill you. This week, a court will seek to sentence protesters who took part in Palestine action, direct action, against Elbit Weapons Factory, as terrorists, even though they were not convicted on terror charges. So when they were convicted in that process, there was nothing to do with terror charges |
| 0:21.6 | being discussed as part of the trial at all. This is a horrifying precedent. It's bad enough |
| 0:29.6 | the authoritarianism in this country. Can you imagine what a Niger-Faraj government would be |
| 0:33.1 | able to do with this sort of precedent? Now, there's lots of other stuff that's happened as well in terms of this trial, |
| 0:42.8 | in terms of how the activists were silenced from speaking out about their motives. |

| 1:36.4 | Let's put it that way. |
| 1:41.6 | And that the actual crime is genocide and exterminating innocent people. |
| 1:44.8 | Firstly, it's great to speak to Jordan. |
| 1:45.7 | You've gone through a lot. |
| 1:47.7 | It's a huge ordeal that you've gone through. |
| 1:52.0 | So firstly, you know, I mean, it must feel, |
| 1:53.4 | you must have mixed emotions. |
| 1:56.2 | You've been acquitted, but your fellow activists, |
