Transcript

00:00Let's hear a bit from our audience. There's a man right at the back here.

00:02Me? Yes. Can I take issue with you over you saying that genocide has been caused in Israel?

00:11How dare you say that? In Palestine.

00:14Palestine. How dare you say that? Genocide happened to six million Jews in the second

00:19world war. Where is the equivalence? Did you ever, did you mention the atrocity that happened

00:26on the 7th of October when Hamas and the Palestinians invaded Israel and killed

00:35innocent women, children, they've bayoneted children. Do you understand that?

00:41How dare you say that? You're ill-informed, my friend.

00:50I'm aware of the atrocity of 7th of October. 1,500 Israelis lost their lives since then.

00:56What do you think about that? Since then, the brutalisation of Palestine,

01:00of all of the people in Palestine, has taken 150,000 lives and injuries.

01:04Is Israel allowed to defend its borders? Of course it is.

01:10You're making a point very strongly, and Pasha and I hear you. We must let him answer as well.

01:15So let me speak. 90% of the Palestinian population have been displaced. There's been famine,

01:20all kinds of problems. Before the war, Palestinians were a captive population.
