Go ahead, rescue him- as a so-called journalist for the BBC he’s on their side any way; no loss!

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t see where the family expressed any sympathy toward the captors.

“Last week BBC employees in the UK and abroad, along with staff from numerous other media organisations globally, showed their support for the Gaza correspondent with a series of vigils on the 100th day of his captivity.”

And if that doesn’t work, the boys in Special Effects are going to break out the yellow ribbons. You have been warned.
