The Israeli military didn't regain control of these border settlements and of its military bases, all of which, most of which were overrun, for four days till the 10th. That is obviously traumatic.

Israelis were triggered. I mean, we had these comparisons to pogroms. We had peculiar comparisons to the Holocaust. 800 people is not 6 million people, 800 civilians. But anyway, the point is that in terms of people's imaginary, that's what was going through their heads. And everybody in Israel is connected, just like everybody in Palestine is connected.

So trauma is trauma. I'm not suggesting that people's suffering can be measured and compared. But I think if we have the same yardstick for humanity, we are talking about a level of tragedy which I don't think has frankly been conveyed as it should have been by the media.
