Chief Political Reporter of Spiked Online Brendan O’Neill has slammed ABC staff who think there is a “moral equivalence” between Israel and Hamas.
ABC journalists have complained to management that Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails deserve equal treatment to Israeli hostages captured by Hamas.
They also complained about using words like ‘massacre’ and ‘terrorism’ when describing the October 7 attacks but not being allowed to use similarly aggressive language when reporting on Israel's actions in response.
“We shouldn’t be surprised but we should be shocked – it is outrageous and actually quite disgusting,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“That is like saying there is moral equivalence between a fascist movement and the victims of that fascist movement – that is essentially what these people are saying.”
