Douglas Murray was asked about the leaders of Hamas living in Britain.

Students from the Atlas Juniors project and the Center for Gifted Students were privileged to engage with Douglas K Murray, a prominent British journalist, political commentator, and best-selling author. Known for his role as a columnist and associate editor for The Spectator, Murray shared his firsthand experiences covering the “Iron Sword“ War from Israeli territory. The discussion was marked by the students' thought-provoking questions, to which Murray provided profound and sincere answers, reflecting his moral clarity and honesty. This exceptional event was not only an intellectual exchange but also a means to raise funds for the upcoming Atlas Juniors camp, where students will come together for an in-person Resilience & Innovation experience.
