"I went at the request of an Israeli British friend who I've known for a long time it was an IDF screening in Westminster with a small selected crowd including Steven Fry, various LBC presenters like Rachel Johnson and Nick Ferrari and journalists from media organizations like the Sun now I thought carefully about attending like most people I have a serious aversion to watching people suffering horrible violence and there is something innately unpleasant about intruding on people's last terrified moments I've already watched ample footage of crimes committed by Hamas but I am covering this crisis extensively and I believed good journalistic practice meant I should attend I did so with my friend Michael Walker who you will know from Novara media even though I obviously dreaded doing so."
