Infernal Barbarism. How Else Can It Be Described?

Infernal barbarism and moral equivalence. The Hamas pogrom flowed from the west's refusal to accept the idea of evil MELANIE PHILLIPS OCT 9

Labour MP Apsana Begum with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign at the Labour Party conference.

Israel’s heart has been broken. At war once again against genocidal enemies, its people are shattered by shock, grief and horror.

At time of writing, the number of those murdered has risen to 800, with 2315 wounded and at least 100 being held hostage in Gaza.

The images of what happened will stay with us forever. Dozens of Israelis were gunned down in their homes and their cars.

Elderly people and small children were slaughtered; women were raped; bodies taken into Gaza were paraded and desecrated; mothers with children in their arms were abducted and are now being held as hostages in Gaza’s terror tunnels.

This was barbarism and depravity, not seen on such an infernal scale since the Holocaust.
