Jason Walls: ZB political editor on National's Chris Bishop comparing Hamas' attacks to the Holocaust in an email - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Chris Luxon's attempted to rein in a top MP, after the leak of an email Chris Bishop sent a to a constituent, likening Hamas's attacks on Israel to the Holocaust.

In the email leaked to social media, Bishop was critical of the murders of woman and children at the hands of Hamas.

He said such barbarity has not been seen since the Holocaust.

ZB political editor Jason Walls says activist groups against antisemitism have claimed Hamas' attacks on Israeli civilians saw the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust- so Bishop technically isn't wrong.
