ABC Australia - Insiders - Nikki Savva, Panel member 06 October 2024

Extracts:
One thing we need to remember, is that we are where we are today because of what Hamas did, on 7 October 2023

And what Hamas did and the way they did it, they would have known exactly how Israel would have responded and Hamas showed absolutely no concern for the Palestinian people, for the ordinary civilians and they went ahead and did it anyway, with Iran's backing

Savva: "I am not excusing the excesses that have led to so many civilian deaths but really it [07 October] should be a day of mourning for everybody"

We can't ignore how all this began and the atrocities that were committed that day
We shouldn't ignore them, we shouldn't excuse them but nor should we excuse all the civilian casualties that have occurred since then
