Hamas’ attacks on Israel ‘most disgusting and brutal’ acts

Former foreign minister Alexander Downer has slammed Hamas’ attacks on Israel as one of the “most disgusting and brutal” acts he’d ever seen in his life. Israel declared a state of war on Hamas following a surprise attack from the Palestinian terrorists where they invaded the country’s south and fired thousands of rockets. “To go into communities like that and slaughter women and children, decapitating children, deliberately targeting innocent young people, burning alive older people – it is just indescribably cruel,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “What’s behind all of this isn’t just a conflict over territory, it’s anti-Semitism, it’s the hatred of Jews. “It’s not about Israel, it’s about Jews.”
