Supporting the actions of Hamas “is like supporting al Qaeda in the days and weeks after 9\/11\u201d, Israel\u2019s ambassador to the UK said. And those who really believe in the welfare of Palestinians should join in Israel\u2019s condemnation of the terror organisation.<\/p>\n
Tzipi Hotovely said there had been no surviving wounded children after the Hamas atrocities in Israel “because they butchered each and every one of them>’<\/p>\n
And she accused anyone demonstrating for Hamas of “supporting war crimes against children” in a war that clearly pitches “good against evil”.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of yesterday\u2019s pro-Palestinian protests in London, Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely spoke of her “discomfort\u201d at the number of people who seem to be justifying the atrocities which befell Israel a fortnight ago,<\/p>\n
\u201cI look at the streets of London and I see something that should make every human being uncomfortable,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt isn\u2019t the fact that people are demonstrating – this is legitimate in a democratic country – but rather the fact that they are coming to demonstrate for Palestinians after such barbaric attacks.<\/p>\n
“People must be sensitive to the idea that supporting Hamas at this time is like supporting al Qaeda after 9\/11 or ISIS. If there is one thing that every person must know by now, it is the atrocities carried out by Hamas on October 7.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet though people react strongly to cities hit by rockets, they do not seem to be so terrorised when confronted with the fact of terrorists invading people’s homes, people\u2019s bedrooms, hunting down kids who were hiding under beds and shooting them.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the most horrific aspects of the attack is that, of 7,000 wounded, none of them were children because they butchered each and every one of them. More than 100 children were murdered including babies. We saw car seats full of blood, and horrific burn injuries – things we have not seen since the Nazi holocaust.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who are demonstrating in support of Hamas are supporting war crimes against children.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cInstead of helping people to find shelter, Hamas is using Palestinians as human shields. This is the moment that people need to understand that if they support Palestinians, they need to support Israel too, against Hamas.”<\/p>\n

This includes the hostages while, strategically, the UK is taking a major role in trying to prevent another front in the north.<\/p>\n \u201cPrime Minister Sunak rightly said that it is not just Israel\u2019s right, but also it\u2019s duty to defend itself. This is our reality.
