London's lawyers plead ignorance on Israeli war crimes as they claim "no access to Israeli intelligence about each operation". By "presuming innocence" they won this legal action (despite the RAF sending spy flights over Gaza to gather intelligence for Israel since December 2023). Who believes them?

The truth is that they were neither "heroes" or "rogue" either in Afghanistan or Ireland (or anywhere else). They were, are, doing exactly what their masters in London expect of them. The only law that matters is the one that "you don't get found out". www.declassifieduk.org/sas-rogue-he...
