"Are you proud of Hamas?!" Tom Swarbrick vs Palestinian student | LBC debate

A Palestinian student who faces deportation over her remarks about October 7 has insisted she was not referring to Hamas.

Dana Abuqamar, 19, was filmed at a protest one day after the attack describing how she was “full of joy” and “proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point”.

The Manchester University law student has since had her visa revoked, with the Home Office citing reasons of “public safety”.

But Ms Abuqamar said that her "words were taken out of context".

Speaking to LBC's Tom Swarbrick on Friday, she said: "I do not mention Hamas, I do not mention that I condone the killing of any innocent civilians, my words were taken completely out of context.

"No logical person can conclude that I was supporting harm to any innocent civilians based on the context that was given."
