The chief of staff of Israel's genocidal army visited Britain yesterday for a conference. He wasn't arrested for war crimes. Meanwhile 20+ brave people are in British prisons awaiting trial for resisting the Israeli war machine. There's no better way of illustrating that the law doesn't protect us

We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identifying the Israeli soldiers in photos and videos featured in our investigation into war crimes in Gaza.
Instead we found soldiers often posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.
