While Ingram expressed sadness that 1,200 people were killed in a Hamas attack in Israel in October, she stressed she agreed with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' remarks that the attack"did not happen in a vacuum." She recalled that Jews were barred from entering shelters in Hamburg, Germany, where she was born and raised until the age of 14, and that the US and England bombed civilian areas of Hamburg at the time.

"Netanyahu tells the world, and Biden dances to Netanyahu's tune, and tells us that this is self-defence. Killing children is not government self-defence. So what Israel is doing now is starving people, bombing them, having told people to go to a safe zone, and then killing them," she said.
