During a visit to Israel, former Sky News Australia commentator Erin Molan spoke on Monday from ILTV studios about seeing firsthand evidence of the atrocities committed on October 7.
“I didn’t need to come to Israel in person to believe, to see evidence firsthand of the unthinkable atrocities committed on October 7, to hear firsthand what survivors were forced to endure, to feel firsthand the ground shake as bombs explode nearby to convince myself that I’m on the the right side of History – I already know that,” she said.
“But I’m so glad that I came because even in my preexisting state of unwavering conviction I underestimated the level of depravity, the extent of the evil that occurred, the caliber of enemy that surrounds this tiny democratic nation fighting desperately for its life. I had read and I’d seen and I’d heard but I could not comprehend fully – until now.”
“You cannot coexist ever with the people I watched carry out October 7 – none of us can. And unless we figure that out as a world, and quickly, then it’s only a matter of time before we see October 7 over and over again – but next time it will be in our own backyard,” she concluded.
