UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has warned that any person or organisation that “cannot unequivocally condemn the evil that Hamas did” on October 7th has “no conscience, no morality, no decency and deserves no respect. ”
In a speech delivered to the Conservative Friends of Israel’s annual business lunch, Sunak added:”I also reject any attempt to draw an equivalence between Israel’s actions and those of the terrorists who videotape their appalling crimes, who rape and murder with gratuitous zealotry.”
He told the audience: “That is why this government has condemned the completely unjustified case that South Africa’s has brought to the international court of justice. ”
Sunak also said the response by some pro-palestine activists to the Hamas October 7th terror atrocity have provided a “painful reminder” of how “anti-Zionism all too often morphs into antisemitism”.
He said those who ripped down posters in this country of those still taken hostage by Hamas terrorists “reveal themselves to have no humanity.”
Referencing the pro-Palestine protesters who use the “From The River To The Sea.. chant, the PM said they were “either useful idiots who do not understand what they are saying, or worse, people who wish to wipe the Jewish state off the map.”
The PM said:”Since October 7th, we have seen something else that echoes further afield an appalling rise in antisemitism, a painful reminder—if one were needed—that anti-Zionism all too often morphs into antisemitism.
“It is sadly the case, that when Israel responds to terrorism to some people it automatically becomes the aggressor.
“Those people who rip down posters of hostages reveal themselves to have no humanity.
