The chiefs of both the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and National Union of Journalists (NUJ) have issued a joint-statement criticizing my arrest, the seizure of my equipment, and the use of anti-terror legislation against journalists. They have written to New

Fox has found out the British state has bad intentions. It backs Saudi Arabia in Yemen (who knew)! It's almost as if the UK's decision re Israel is based in self-serving calculations, rather than moral consistency. Inching towards materialism.

'Russophile' simply means 'criticises Nato' and 'wants end to Ukraine war' here. At one point the article mentions BSW's "well know...sympathy for Russia" and links to another FT article where this is again asserted without evidence.

I will say it again: it boggles my mind that when many of us see identical or worse scenes in Gaza, we say, "This war must end, we need a ceasefire yesterday"; but when we see this happening in Ukraine, we say, "This war must go on, no ceasefire."
