Historian and author Professor Niall Ferguson says Hamas should be “destroyed” because they are “intending nothing less than a second Holocaust”.
Early last month, a senior member of Hamas hailed the systematic slaughter of civilians on October 7 and vowed to repeat similar assaults many times into the future until Israel is exterminated if given the chance.
“I think it is clear that Israel can no longer co-exist with Hamas in control of Gaza,” Professor Ferguson told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.
“If anybody doubted that, then surely those doubts were dispelled on October the 7th with the most hideous scenes of violence against Jews since the Holocaust.
“Indeed, it seemed to me that what Hamas were really trying to communicate was their intention to re-enact the Holocaust.
“I think every one of us, regardless of whether we’re Jewish or not, has a moral obligation to ensure that there never is another Holocaust and those who threaten to wipe Israel from the map are intending nothing less than a second Holocaust.
“The issue is can Hamas be destroyed, as it should be, at an acceptable cost.”
