‘Proportionality in conflict is absurd’: Douglas Murray
Author Douglas Murray says the idea of proportionality in conflict is absurd as debate is heard globally on what a measured response from Israel would be following terror attacks from Hamas which left over 1,400 people dead.
Mr Murray claimed Western countries and the UN only obsess about proportional responses in regard to Israel.
“Proportionate is an abstract idea. What is proportionate in a conflict?", he asked Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi.
“Proportionate in this conflict would mean that the response to the massacre of more than 1,000 Israelis in cold blood by Hamas a couple of weeks ago should be responded to by Israel by sending Israeli forces … as Hamas did.
“It is obscene to even think in these terms but that is what proportionality would mean in this conflict.”
