I am not. You asked me to stop the equivalence. There is no equivalence from my perspective. International humanitarian law should be observed. I disagree fundamentally and have condemned the Israeli Government's attack on Gaza. We are doing everything we can through the international courts. The Deputy mentioned genocide. There is a convention on genocide. We are either serious about challenging and asserting that in the courts or we are not. I accept the threshold in the courts is very high because of the way the convention was signed, but we are engaging in that. The only way we have credibility in the international world is if we condemn all acts of terror, by states or by terrorist organisations.
