A pro-Palestine protester has begrudgingly condemned Hamas for its atrocious attack against Israel on October 7 as thousands of activists gathered outside Parliament ahead of tonight's ceasefire vote.
GB News reporter Ray Addison asked activist Keive Aily whether she condemns the terrorist organisation three times.
Responding to Addison's question, she said: "I condemn Israel using the excuse."
Addison leapt in to ask Aily twice more whether she would condemn Hamas.

The activist replied: "I don't think that needs to be the first question that's being asked ... it's been 30 days of Israel using the excuse of this attack."
Following a lengthy exchange, Aily eventually said: "Of course, I condemn the attack."
The protester then decided to walk away from the interview but returned seconds later to heckle as Addison continued his report.
Addison went on to reveal some pro-Palestine protesters were willing to condemn the proscribed terror organisation.
