Alternative title in Germany: “Guardian doxes antifa activist”

OTOH, this is Newsweek. Take it with a grain of salt, pending confirmation from a more credible source.

Maybe some “alpha male” influencer gave him the idea that that’s how you project an aura of power and dominance?

If he does end up in The Hague, the IDF raid to free him will turn out to have been conducted with extensive UK assistance.
