Are you saying that what happened on October the 7th was unacceptable?<\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: When you do this again, other people in media do this. Again, nothing  justify the genocide against the Palestinian people. I\u2019m here to tell you exactly what I think. I&#8217;m not going to stand here and condemn Hamas. I&#8217;m not going to do that. I am going to condemn the IDF, the occupation and the role of Western imperialism in that entire region.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: Fiona, Hang on one second. <\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: I am here to condemn Keir starmer, David Lammy and the British government and British imperialism&#8217;s role in this occupation and in this genocide.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: You cannot sit there and seriously say you will not condemn Hamas. <\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: I can say whatever I like. <\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: Well you can. But I tell you, the British public are watching you. The British public are watching you. And if you will not condemn terrorists, people who have caused absolute chaos upon the Palestinian people, the ones that started this conflict. Can you see the disdain the British public, the people of Palestine as Jewish people will have for you? <\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: I&#8217;m happy to condemn terrorists. <\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: Then condemn Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: Let&#8217;s start with Keir Starmer. Let&#8217;s start with David Lammy. <\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: No start with the people who started the war.<\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: Let\u2019s talk about the IDF.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: Who started the war on October the 7th?<\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: I&#8217;ll tell you, it began in 1948 with the forced expulsion\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: No, no it didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p>Nana Akua: Some people would actually go further back than that.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: We can get into a historical discussion, it\u2019s not\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: In fact, You are so correct. The British were highly involved in setting up the Zionist state. They were entirely involved in that. So British imperialism historically is responsible for those crimes. And today it is still responsible for those crimes. And what makes you so angry, actually, is the fact that more people support people like Bob Vylan. More people in Britain actually want to see an end to the occupation. They do not support Britain sending arms to Israel. <\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: What people want is an end to war. And they don\u2019t support Bob Vylan spouting vile anti semitic\u2026They don\u2019t  want you to sit here and call the British public racist and anti-Semitic. Because they do not support Bob. You just said that the vast majority of people support what Bob Vylan said. You just said that. And they don&#8217;t. <\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: I think you\u2019re upset.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Leo: I am upset. As a man who&#8217;s been given a platform to spout out\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Fiona Lali: So you&#8217;re not upset about 100,000 Palestinian? You&#8217;re not upset about the IDF killing children?
