Essential from ‪@jonathan-cook.bsky.social ‬: British state is persecuting @asawinstanley.com‬ for journalism. Gov't knows full well it is aiding and abetting I*raeli #genocideinpalestine against UK people's wishes. That's why it wants to silence truth-tellers like AW.

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?
