Watch: Douglas Murray schools Al Jazeera journalist on Israel-Gaza conflict

When you’re interviewing an expert, it never hurts to come prepared. But when Al Jazeera journalist Jane Dutton quizzed Douglas Murray on the conflict in the Middle East, the unsuspecting interviewer quickly became the interviewee in a rather humiliating twist…

‘You’ve got to inform your viewers of the facts, and you just misled them,’ Murray told Dutton during a heated debate about the Israel-Gaza conflict. First discussing the definition of genocide, the Al Jazeera reporter quickly moved on to state that there was an illegal occupation of Gaza by Israel, adding that ‘Israel is internationally recognised as an occupying state’. ‘No, no, it’s not at all. That’s your view,’ Murray hit back. ‘Our views may differ but the facts are the facts, and I want to pick you up on something you just did.’ ‘I’m interviewing you,’ Dutton fumed. ‘I know, but I think you’re uninformed,’ Murray replied. Ouch…

He continued:

The point you keep trying to distract everyone from is that Israel took every Jew from Gaza in 2005, handed it over to the Palestinians who then voted in Hamas and, to the great detriment of the Palestinian people, they have been rules by Hamas for the last 18 years.
