It is an unprecedented case. And it risks triggering an unprecedented threat to journalism. The UK police have repeatedly tried to obtain the passwords to the phones of the British independent journalist, Richard Medhurst, the first reporter arrested in London under Section 12: his analyses and comments on Israel’s bloodbath in Gaza – which Amnesty International has characterised as genocide – have been interpreted by the police as support for organisations banned from the UK, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

The British journalists’ union, the NUJ, and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) publicly condemned his arrest and the use of anti-terrorism laws against journalists “simply for carrying out their work”.

        Terrorist slop content of IDF soldiers being shot because “oh it’s so impressive”.

          That was a really boring and poorly made video. Could you tell me what part of it makes you sure this man is a terrorist? I might have missed it.

            Literally never said he was. I said he makes content for terrorists to jerk off to. I bet he cheers when he watches beheading videos. He’s a disgusting freak and should be locked up.

              Well then let’s just hope nobody ever decides you’re a disgusting freak and deserve to be locked up.

                For what, not liking terrorist supporters? I think I’m safe. The only people that think that’s disgusting are shrill slacktivists and the terminally online.

        Hey, we’re all terrorists! I like dogs, Hitler liked dogs, and I don’t want to give my pin to the police, that makes me a criminal, right?

        Well if you can find the videos glorifying terrorist kills I have on my YouTube channel I guess that’s true. Here’s his https://youtu.be/N51xmP-EwSU

        Yea I wasn’t 100% sure, I just remembered thinking this guy was an insane person. Glad I looked up his channel, glad he’s been arrested, hope they stop him making videos for terrorists and antisemites to jerk off to.
