This email shows that a month before my home was raided by Counter-Terror Command (SO15), the Attorney General’s Office sent SO15’s contact details to the Israeli embassy — clear foreign interference.

Did Israel ask UK police for me to be arrested to stop my journalism?

How close is the Israeli army to collapse? Plummeting morale, mutinous soldiers, a rash of suicides and espionage are wearing Israel down.

Israel is desperately trying to avoid internal collapse by opening a new front in their genocidal regional war; and doing so using proxies rather than their own troops.
