Just when you thought that British TV hosts may have come to their senses following the overwhelming evidence of the Hamas presence in Shifa Hospital, British Sky News host Kay Burley asked a question unprecedented in its absurdity.
Speaking to Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy, she accused Israel of not valuing Palestinian lives as highly as Israeli lives since it agreed to swap 50 hostages for 150 Palestinian prisoners.
Yes, she asked this question in all seriousness. And no, she did not mention the fact that the “Palestinian lives” are people who have committed violent crimes, including attempted murder, and will be released back to the streets of Israel.
Watch Levy’s response below. Levy, who somehow manages to remain calm despite speaking to outrageously anti-Israel morons on a regular basis, wrote on Twitter that the “question left me speechless (but only for a second).”

Unfortunately, it is not stupidity
and what exactly do u think that it’s not even stupidity how can u maybe think that is the case here right now
Palestinians lives are being devalued. That’s a fact. But Israel is not the one doing it.
Israel would wish if they could get ALL their hostages back for FREE, or for less or equal measure.
But, at least Palestinian lives are worth more now than they were 12 years ago during the Gilad shalit deal where 1 Israeli was worth over 1000 Palestinian terrorists lives.
Man, I should have invested in Palestinians 12 years ago!
I would be mega Rich now!!!!!
That’s an appreciation of over 300 times in 12 years!!!!!!!!
You can contact Sky News and let them know how utterly stupid they are [email protected]
It’s pure evil
Then what is it exactly, BY1212? This idiotic lady’s question makes sense to you?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
The Israeli government should direct their spokesperson that when any Media outlet asks a biased non-starter question, they don’t deserve a response.
The response should be that the Station would lose interview opportunities for a month.
BY1212,
Boy how right you are. YWN should have called it for what it is, PURE RISHUS.
Just imagine if the ratio were reversed and for every 3 Israeli hostages 1 Palestinian prisoner would be released. Oh how they’d blame Israel for devaluating Palestinian lives.
Moral of the story: if you’re Jewish you can’t do any right.
His answer was weak
He should have made her look so stupid and dumb
You can’t possibly ask a dumber question!!!
THank You @rocky
I emailed the company
To whom this may concern.I write to you with concern regarding an on-air interview conducted by Kay Burley with Israeli spokesperson Eylon Levy.In her questioning of Levy, Ms Burley proposes that Israelis trading 150 palestinians for only 50 Israeli hostages somehow indicates a devaluation of palestinian life.
The absurdity of this question is egregiously blatant. It not only reflects horribly on the sincerity of Ms Burley herself, but more so on the ethics, or lack thereof, of the news organization she represents. Yours.
My hope is that there will be a CLEAR, and swift repudiation of the insinuations in Ms Burleys question, along with an expressed commitment to realign with journalistic integrity henceforth. Though I fear I may be asking too much…
Will Sky News do what is reasonable? What is honorable?
Sincerely,
