The main actions described in the indictment boil down to property damage, directed against the offices or homes of #UniversityOfMichigan officials, the facilities of Rolls-Royce (which makes parts for Israeli army tanks) and #Maersk (which ships military equipment to Israel), and the building of the Jewish Federation of Detroit (a major pro-#Israel organization, as we will see). No person has been physically harmed by these actions.
Yet the indictment paints these actions as a form of antisemitic terrorism, drawing on the FBI’s extensive digital surveillance of the defendants.
