Israel mouthpiece ‘threatens’ UK, US journalists
Genocide-denying former Israel spokesman Eylon Levy has been accused of threatening UK and US journalists over Gaza. Certainly, Levi’s language is deeply sinister. Levi began with an X post about the IOF putting its “crosshairs” on four journalists: Brits Piers Morgan and Owen Jones, British-born US journalist Mehdi Hasan, and US commentator Hasan Piker. Certainly Hasan was concerned that it was a threat — and appalled at the impunity of Israeli thugs: Is this a death threat? Insane what Israel

£500m school staff pension raid could have handed £1,200 to every single teaching assistant
