The sheer scale of the attacks on Israeli civilians is horrifying.

I’ve stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people and will continue to do so.

But this attack is wrong.

Solidarity against acts of terror shouldn’t be selective, which is why I also stand with the Israeli people.

I’m also aware that any Israeli retaliation will likely also be horrific and also harm civilians.

This, ultimately, is the tragedy of this conflict – the innocents on both sides who pay the price for the failure of their respective Governments.
