Kemi Badenoch describes Lebanon pager attack as ‘amazing’
#uk #lebanon
Kemi Badenoch has described the pager attack on Lebanon as “amazing” as she praised Binyamin Netanyahu’s country for its “extraordinary” recent military action.

Speaking at the Conservative Party conference, she said: “Islamist terrorism is something that should never ever be appeased. It is extremely dangerous. Israel is at the front line. It is surrounded by a lot of enemies.

“I think what they are doing is extraordinary. People said getting the leader of Hezbollah couldn’t be done. People ask Israel to do things — like be more targeted so you don’t harm civilians. They did that amazing thing with the pagers and when they did that they were criticised for it. They are always criticised so I’m very sympathetic to the Israeli argument.

00:00I am fully behind Ukraine.
00:09I believe that we have a coalition of authoritarian states that are collaborating to undermine the West.
00:18Russia, Iran, for example, and other countries are helping us fight those battles.
00:23Ukraine, Israel, we need to make sure that we are as supportive of them as possible.
00:28On the Middle East, Peter from Surrey says, what should your party's position be on the war there,
00:34on Israel against Hamas and Hezbollah? What's your position?
00:38My position has always been very clear. Israel has a right to defend itself.
00:44The UK is an ally of Israel. I stand with Israel.
00:49We cannot stand with Hezbollah. We cannot stand with Hamas.
00:54We know who the bad guys are.
00:57Islamist terrorism is something that should never, ever be appeased.
01:03It is extremely dangerous. Israel is at the front line. It is surrounded by a lot of enemies.
01:08I think that what they are doing is extraordinary.
01:10People said that getting the leader of Hezbollah couldn't be done.
01:14People ask Israel to do things like be more targeted so you don't harm civilians.
01:19They did that amazing thing with the pagers.
01:21When they did that, they were criticised for it. They are always criticised.
01:25So I am very sympathetic to the Israeli argument.
01:28But we must not forget the Palestinian people who are not Hamas.
01:32They are unfortunately caught in the middle of this terrible war.
01:36I think we should do all that we can to help them. I sympathise with them.
01:40But I think if Israel can get rid of Hamas, that's also going to be fantastic for the Palestinian people.
