There's an Israeli man (I presume) calling ;later in the show to describe friends of his in a kibbutz, the parents of a young baby were killed/burned to death with a petrol bomb, and the baby along with other adults abducted as hostages. He asks what should be done and for George's opinion .George gets some details from the caller, but then gives no note of sympathy and starts trading statistics of Israeli hostages vs Palestinians in Israeli prisoners, including children (detained without proper trial). Not helpful, George. An expression of horror and earnest and heartfelt sympathy to this man would be any normal person's first utterance and then one might proceed to a rather more nuanced and less intrusive examination of the wider issues including not hectoring the caller. Bad one, George.
