Hi @Dawn_French ,
Oscar nominated comedy writer here. I parked my career and came to Israel in the weeks after October 7 to document the massacre committed by the Islamic fundamentalists Hamas - whose goal remains to exterminate every Jew on earth
What you sneeringly mock as a “bad thing” included the grieving children I met in hospital whose friends and family had been murdered, kidnapped and raped and who themselves were coming to terms with their own life-altering injuries
It also includes the 1200 people murdered and tortured on October 7th - some of which I saw in a 47 minute compilation of footage Hamas filmed
This included women whose faces were like smashed crockery on the floor, broken into pieces after having been repeatedly shot
Children being deliberately blown up with grenades
Men getting their heads hacked off with garden tools
Dead babies in nappies with their throats cut
Blackened corpses smouldering after burning all night
Raped women with their arms and legs broken and twisted into bizarre shapes
I imagine you think you are moral and righteous and taking a stand against pain and suffering
But not only do you remain intellectually incurious about who the architect of all this suffering is, (Hamas),
not only do you fail to say NO to them in front of your audience and condemn them for their retention of the hostages, use of human shields, fighting from Hospitals, schools and civilian compounds,
not only do you fail to do this,
you proactively broadcast - with misplaced pride - a wicked glee in your mockery and dismissal of Jewish suffering, pain and death - and the predicament Israel faces trying to get back hostages from a genocidal, jihadist terror organisation that is happy for everyone - including their own people - to die - if it helps them continue their plan to exterminate the Jews
You really are a grim and miserable little shit, aren’t you?
No. The real litmus test is how the Labour government now deals with the rape gangs. Stop deflecting. It’s not about Elon Musk. It’s about how the state failed these children.

If you think seventeen million people voted to leave the European Union because they were brainwashed by the Russians, you really don't know what's been happening inside your country for the past 20 years.
In January, a memorial to Lee Rigby was removed because a council deemed it "unsightly". Now cops back floral memorial to dead burglar Henry Vincent. Britain, 2018: it's OK to pay respects to a career criminal, but not a fallen war hero?
.@afneil is an excellent interviewer who's bound by exactly the same rules of on-air impartiality as every other BBC journalist. That's how. https://t.co/2bzY4ZkxjC
Yes, where I grew up it was like that. So of course we were stab-stab-stab all day and every day, with the occasional drive-by shooting thrown in, cause we couldn’t watch football with our friends.
