The killing of 1,200 Israeli’s and 240 hostages taken on the 7th of October of last year is not on the scale of what came after. It is awful. It is horrible. it is disgusting. It is also absolutely dwarfed by the vengeance Israel has wrought in response. The killing of some 36,000 Palestinians, including some 15,000 children, dwarfs, in every single sense, what Hamas have done — in terms of scope and scale, in terms of cruelty and savagery, in terms of moral evil.
