Ghadi Karmi, from the Institute of Arab and Islamic studies at the University of Exeter, joined Sky News on the anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel.
Ms Karmi said, “the last year has taken my breath away – I never thought I’d see such monstrous, cruelty and slaughter of Palestinian civilians.
“This sort of level of destructiveness and inhumanity is something no one can excuse or justify by what happened during the October 7th Hamas attacks.”

Yes they do
The IDF steal the Palestinians land forcing them to flee into tunnels under the homeland that they cherish.
errrr. Yes they do justify
She needs to be corrected > All Arabs living in the then barren wasteland now called Israel were told by the Arab armies "to leave" the war would be over soon & they then can return back to their houses. However, the Jews won the war against the 5 Arab armies & the Arabs that were told to leave by their fellow Arabs ended up in "no mans land" so to speak. Arabs living in the land were "never told" by Jews to leave…
Free Palestine especially from the Israeli and Indian bots in the comments section
Oh this like nekba 1948
Hamas caused a regional war by committing the october 7th attack and no-one is mentioning that
No such thing as Palestine or Palestinians.. the whole area belongs to Israel, even parts of Jordan…
The whole saga is just to prevent Israel from building the third temple….
Well this has been going on since middle ages, way before I was born, and honestly quite frankly I don't care. This is between Israelis and Muslims and not an atheist problem. Have fun.
Ask iran why they started the war
Gaza has a right to self defence
Lots of Zionist comments below… FREE FREE PALESTINE
What a pathetic journalist. One softball question after another in the face of this demented one-sided drivel.
When will it be enough? When your Hamas darlings return the hostages and surrender. Simple.
Aggressions must be stopped
could have had a ceasefire in an hour if the hostages were released. hamas and the people supporting hamas are to blame.
Palestine chose Hamas to be their government in perpetuity, Palestine wanted to be a separate state, then as its own state it launched an unprovoked full-out attack against Israel by land sea and air where they raped mutilated and massacred everyone they could find and took some back as hostages. It was a declaration of war by one state against another. Israel retaliated as it had to in a war, and no matter how bad it has gotten Palestine has not surrendered instead suggesting Israel has to surrender. Palestine has brought this on itself and the Palestinian government has the power to stop it at any time.
I have no time or patience for any terrorist sympathisers who side with Palestine in this.
Am Yisrael chai ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฑ
Remember that Sky News is biased, and will delete comments (and commenters) critical of Hummus
Israeli response is less than proportional to the threat of faces. Hamas had been attacking Israel and preparing for conflict for decades. The question is what is a proportional response to that. The barbaric, terrorist attack on October 7 was just the final straw.
Same for hizbulah, same for Iran.
The pattern is clear, anyone that chooses to go to war against Israel will lose and suffer and then cry about zionist aggression. Choose peace. Israel would
Hamas call themselves an army and yet when they are killed in combat they morph into civilians I for one am not fooled.
Sow the Wind – Reap the Whirlwind
Let's see whether Sky leaves this comment up. Apparently, Islam cannot withstand commentary from the intelligent. Nor can Sky.
Palestinians should have realised that the consequences of the October 7 attack on Israel by the Islamic terrorist organisation Hamas would be devastating. They supported this attack and now they should stop playing the victim card. Hope the Palestinians & Hamas have learnt this bitter lesson & will never ever try to attack Israel.
Pro-Palis have been saying this before Israel even entered Gaza… It doesn't hold any weight to it as a result.
The Israeli military is under pressure to reveal how many of their own citizens were killed due to the supposedly rescinded and controversial "Hannibal Directive".(AP /Tsafrir Abayov)
"Hannibal at Erez, dispatch a Zik [attack drone]," came the command on October 7.
Those words, reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz in July, confirm what many Israelis have feared since the Hamas attacks on October 7 in southern Israel.
Israeli forces have killed their own citizens.
Israeli authorities say more than 800 civilians and around 300 soldiers were killed on October 7.
Remember that guy who wore the 7 hamas football shirt they still haven't done anything, probably too busy policing online for hurty words
Dont cry grandma talk to hamas explain why do the october 7 attack now who suffer much ask your self
So do what? Sit back and keep letting people get kidnapped and killed? Keep letting rocket fly? Na
After losing 1200 people in one day, madam expecting Israel to ask sorry to Hamas & beg for their mercy to release captives or expecting Israel to kill only the equal number on the other side so they are even? This is a complex issues emotions doesn't have any say here the threshold has been breached. Sky news should watch vice documentary 2 years back for better understanding of the situation.

The Arabs mentality.. they attack Israel and when Israel retaliates they play the victim card ๐๐๐
It is Israel religion that they want others to pay 7 times 7 so it looks like unless fundamentalists get sanctioned for their atrocities this wonโt stop & is aimed mostly at just making profit out of this situation and targeted at using this as a pretext to try and take control of other oil resources as it happened before with Kuweit and Iraq.
Ok old lady, I'm sure thing will be different now ๐
The land has belonged to Israel for 3500 years
So what level of "destructiveness" is justified for such an attack? Thats just a dumb statement! Especially when the attackers hide behind their civilian population, steals their food and flees to the tunnels with hundreds of hostages
When Hamas returns the hostages and stop firing rockets
As usual it's all about the Israelis from Sky news with their hierarchy of racism and support for the Israeli genocide.
How can anyone be sure that Hamas will not attack Israel again?? Israel has no choice. It has to do everything to defend the country and the people.
Where is her outrage against Hamas, for opening this hell against Palestinians? What a lack of societal introspection. Itโs easy to attack Israel in the mediaโฆbut a so-called academic should be a little more cerebral / academic and less propagandist.
If Israel represents the civilized world then I want nothing to do with it.
Using religious Jewish fanatics as a bullwark to defend western petrochemical interests is deeply antisemitic.
Everytime Israel defends itself it's called genocide. The terrorist attacks on Israel are called self defense. It's a complete reversal of reality and typical for antisemitism.
Ask Hamas why they started this war. ๐คท
Free Palestine
Hamas started the war. Israel declared war after what Hamas did in October 7th 2023.
Israel's view is that nothing justifies 7 October, but 7 October justifies everything.
