It's more complex for me as a journalist when I look at this and compare it to other genocides and I compare it to other wars that if you take the central argument of Israel, which is put aside everything that happened before, if you take October the 7th and the scale of it with 250 people being kidnapped,

including babies and Holocaust survivors, with 3,000 people coming over the border, attacking indiscriminately people, killing 1,200 and wounding nearly 7,000 more. If you take the scale of what happened... Hamas knew what Israel was going to do by way of response. Hamas indisputably have buried themselves into civilian areas quite deliberately for self-protective reasons.

And Israel has been, I don't think they've been anything but indiscriminate, actually, in a lot of their attacks on these areas, particularly on the refugee camps. I think it's completely unconscionable some of the stuff they've done there. And I think that it's gone on way too long and it has to stop. And I think I always ask people throughout the debates, what is a proportionate response?

I didn't have the answer. I didn't know what is the correct proportionate response to the scale of October the 7th. And that's before you factor in the background and the history and what people see as the occupation of the Palestinians and the appalling plight of 2 million Palestinians in Gaza for so long. It doesn't factor in that. It's just...

Hamas do this, what is the proportionate response that's acceptable? I think Israel's gone way beyond what is acceptable. However, I understand their argument that they are responding to, as they see it, a heinous terror attack and they have vowed to get rid of the Hamas terrorists who did this and that the only way to do that is to do it the way they're doing it.

And I understand that that is their argument. And I understand that that to me is different to a country waging a wholesale genocide of a people. So I think it's complicated. I don't have all the answers. But as we sit here now, this has to stop. The leveling of Gaza has gone completely out of control. I mean, a lot of Gaza is unoccupiable now. I think the aggressive expansion on the West Bank's

I think the aggressive expansion on the West Bank's

has been a form of terrorism, which is completely unacceptable. I think some of the language of some of the cabinet members has bordered on genocidal. And I think that there are clearly some members of that Netanyahu cabinet who actually would have no problem if all the Palestinians left Gaza right now.

And so I, you know, I'm not saying that there's not a potential for a form of genocide to be here. You know, we might look back at this in two years. And you might say to me, well, we told you, this is this is genocide, what they've done, they've got rid of all the Palestinians, that could happen. And I pray that doesn't happen.
