Author Douglas Murray has left two pro-Palestine guests stunned with his definition of terrorism during a heated debate.

Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan and his two guests, a Canadian-Palestinian Doctor and a Muslim Debate Initiative co-founder, argued over the definition of terror and whether it applied to Hamas for their October aggressions toward Israel.

“It is very important for your viewers to hear the following definition,” Mr Murray said to Mr Morgan.

“The definition of terrorism is the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians – that is what Hamas specializes in.

“That is what Hamas did on October the 7th.”
