Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan has called out anti-Israel and pro-Palestine protesters for criticising Israel’s efforts in its war against the Hamas terrorist group.
“To those now ferociously criticising the escalation in the region – remember who escalated this in the first place,” Mr Morgan said.
“Hamas shattered peace in the Middle East, and they knew exactly what the response would be.
“Make no mistake, the vile people who took these innocent people as hostages are responsible for the catalyst of horrors we’re now witnessing.
“There’s no moral defence for Hamas but many of the pro-Palestine protesters … do have a point; the civilian death toll in Gaza is testing the upper limits of proportionality.”
Mr Morgan is joined by Thomas Hand, the father of nine-year-old Emily Hand, who was kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas for 50 days before being returned to her father.
