Julian Assange with his friend, Holocaust denier Israel Shamir.
Shamir was the WikiLeaks agent who directly handed information on Belarusian dissidents to the Lukashenko regime.
Shamir praised Lukashenko and celebrated exposing "American agents" in Belarus.

I truly understand that feeling of revulsion, you had.
