Douglas Murray blasts Gazans for cheering on as woman paraded half-naked

Author Douglas Murray has blasted Gazans who cheered on as an Israeli-German girl was paraded around semi-naked by Hamas terrorists. A distressing video emerged of Shani Louk, who is now confirmed dead, dragged onto the back of a truck after being kidnapped from the terrorist attack on October 7.

“Why was it you could find … a crowd of ordinary Gazans, it wasn’t a Hamas rally, ordinary Gazans spitting on her body, hitting her body, mutilating her body further as it went down the street?” he said. “Does that strike you, Piers, as a placid population of peacenik types who are desperately waiting for a two-state solution to be put back on the table for the millionth time in the last 70-something years?”

Mr Morgan noted that there were not two million Gazans in that video shared online. I agree with him. Celebrating and parading hostages is where they lost me. I feel bad for Palestinian children but their parents have failed them by sheltering a murderous organization. I only see Palestinians condemn the world but never condemning Hamas.

We need more realists like Douglas Murray unafraid to speak the truth no matter how unpleasant or unpopular.
