If You Saw the Film I Have Seen, You Would Understand Israel's Reaction

(Daily Express-UK) Bob Blackman - We sat in stunned silence for at least two minutes. No one moved an inch. Staring ahead in shock and disbelief. More than 60 parliamentarians had just borne witness to the barbaric cruelty unleashed by Hamas on Israel that dark day. We had gathered to witness 45 minutes of raw, unedited and uncensored footage of Hamas' attack on Oct. 7. Much of the footage had been collected from body cameras and mobile phones carried by Hamas terrorists as they rampaged through southern Israel. Many are seen taking selfies with dead bodies as they go along. Much of the footage has never been aired in the UK. It is simply too graphic. It is, though, perhaps the only way to truly understand the sheer horror and what triggered - and indeed necessitated - Israel's war against Hamas. We learned that we had witnessed the bodies - and killings - of around 130 people. A mere 10% of those murdered that chilling day. Simply, there will be no chance for peace as long as Hamas exists. The UK is absolutely right to support Israel in this unenviable task. Many of those sickeningly trying to justify Hamas horrors would do well to witness this footage.
