A man representing a pro-Palestine organisation at today’s march told the Telegraph the Israeli government may have been responsible for the massacre of its citizens on October 7, Michael Murphy reports.
A member of the group Palestine Pulse, in his mid 30s and who wished to remain anonymous, said “some say” the attack was “done by Israel”, adding that “[we] don’t know the full facts until an investigation is launched”.
Hamas have been widely condemned as the perpetrators of the atrocity that saw 1,400 Israelis killed.
The group laid blood-smattered bundles of white cloth, representing dead Palestinian babies, at the corner of the water fountain in Trafalgar Square.
The representative said the installation was placed there to honour the “around 3,800 babies killed, murdered by Israel, [which is] undisputed, [and] nothing to do with Hamas, or politics.”
But when asked if he had the same sympathy for Israeli babies murdered by Hamas, the group member said: “We don’t know what happened on 7 Oct. We were all shocked. [We] don’t know the full facts until a full investigation is launched.”
He added: “Some say Hamas did some of it. But others say it was done by Israel. There’s no conclusion yet. But there’s 10,000 innocent civilians [who have been] deliberately killed [in Gaza]”.
