and what some are saying is potentially a breach of international law. are you ok with israel potentially committing war crimes and you re providing full moral support regardless? it s important to remember why we re in this very difficult situation, and that s because hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation, committed an appalling act of barbarity and has killed over a thousand israelis, including women and children, in scenes that are, quite frankly, horrific and that we haven t seen in decades. it is unequivocally wrong, and there is no moral ambiguity about that. israel has every right to defend itself and take the action that is necessary to ensure protection and security of its citizens and that nothing like this can ever happen again. even if some of those actions are not in line with international law? no, of course, we should always and we are always having concerns of civilians paramount in our minds, something i ve discussed with prime minister netanyahu m ....
