(TalkTV-UK) Douglas Murray interviewed by Julia Hartley-Brewer - British author and political commentator Douglas Murray said Friday: "There is some deep perversion in Britain whenever Israel is involved in a conflict, and is the word you just used 'proportionality'? Only Britain is really obsessed with this." "But if we were to decide that we should have this fetish about proportionality, then that would mean that in retaliation for what Hamas did in Israel on Saturday, Israel should try to locate a music festival in Gaza and rape precisely the number of women that Hamas raped on Saturday, kill precisely the number of young people that Hamas killed on Saturday." "Proportionality in conflict is a joke. It's a very strange British concept which we've had. Only the Israelis, in a conflict when they are attacked, are expected to have precisely the proportionate response." "The difference between the Western way and Hamas terrorists' way of war is that their objective is to kill civilians....The objective in conflict of the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel and other civilized democracies is the killers and as few innocent people as possible."
