"The one side that is responsible fully on this is the occupying power." Palestinian ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, tells Cathy Newman the international community is "obsessed with blaming the victim... the colonised" after recent attacks by Hamas on Israel.

Watch the full interview here:

@marcusxdusty @cathynewman You kept trying to cut him off and put words in his mouth, Cathy. When he began to speak about the wider background of this conflict, you decided you were out of time. It was a horrendous interview, and you should be ashamed.

@cathynewman what did you mean unprovoked? for the last 20 years, an average of 1 palestinian child is murdered every 3 days by the occupying power and/or the settlers it backs. that’s the mother of all provocation

@marcusxdusty @cathynewman Any condemnation from @Channel4News for this?

@cathynewman Palestinian Ambassador ’Disingenuous, little me? Never.’

@cathynewman Will there ever be a Channel 4 interview in which an Israeli government minister (or a representative of an Israel advocacy group) will be asked, as the first question, to condemn one of these things: apartheid, the total blockade of Gaza, the state-condoned settler violence?

@marcusxdusty @cathynewman Did you condemn this @cathynewman?

@cathynewman Dear dear dear..it is so depressing to hear same ludicrous questions from news presenters, terrified of offending the government of Israel..!

@cathynewman Cathy came across as a bit pathetic there, tbh… 🤷‍♀️
