Owen Jones has been told to \u201cseek help\u201d over \u201cdeeply morally repugnant and wrong\u201d over claims he reportedly made online.<\/p>\n

In a video on YouTube, Mr Jones talked about his reaction to watching footage of the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7. Mr Jones, along with other journalists, was invited to a screening of the footage earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Discussing the footage, Mr Jones questioned whether or not Hamas committed some of the crimes that have been ascribed to them as it was not in the footage shown to journalists.<\/p>\n

While Mr Jones does not deny that the atrocious crimes may have happened, his reaction to the footage shown by the IDF (Israeli Defence Force) has created a wave of anger on X.<\/p>\n

In response to Mr Jones\u2019s comments, TalkTV presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer said Mr Jones was \u201cmorally lost\u201d and that he should \u201cseek help\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ms Hartley-Brewer added: \u201cI genuinely think that what you are doing and what you are saying is so deeply morally repugnant and wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn inability to see any other side than the one that you think will get you the most likes on Twitter. I genuinely think that you are sick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI genuinely think that you need help and I think an awful lot of your fellow travellers are in the same boat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Hartley-Brewer wasn\u2019t the only leading figure to criticise Mr Jones. Former Conservative UK Foreign Minister and London Mayor candidate Zac Goldsmith was fuming at Mr Jones\u2019s thoughts.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cI saw the video. I tried but couldn\u2019t find words to describe the sheer depravity. After, I suggested some of the people denying or excusing it should be invited to a viewing.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo human being could possibly fail to be shaken by the scenes of brutality. Or so I thought. Then Owen Jones came along.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis impulse while watching that indescribably distressing Hamas footage was to sit there scribbling notes & looking for opportunities to nitpick, minimise & obfuscate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHamas of course have approvingly noted this \u2018journalist\u2019s\u2019 commentary but any normal person who has seen the footage or read descriptions of it will now understand that Jones has a sickness that goes far beyond mere antisemitism.\u201d<\/p>\n
