Contents
Gaza-Israel conflict
On 13 October 2023, seven days after the October 2023 Gaza−Israel conflict flared up, Double Down News published a 12-minute video on Youtube presented by David Hearst.
He began: "If there’s blood on anyone’s hands it’s on those who say 'Israel has a right to defend itself'. If there's anyone who is guilty for the bloodshed that is going on, it is the International Community particularly Britain."
David Hearst, who revealed that half his family were killed in the Holocaust, went on to give a remarkably Palestinian-biased perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[4]
Brilliantly articulated
A commentator said:
- "As a fellow British Jew, shocked at the recent events in Israel but even more shocked at the bloodlust now being shown by Israelis and their supporters in the West towards ordinary Palestinians, I thank you for this video.
"This war could collapse Israel"
| This war on Gaza could be the end of Israel |
