9.20b What About the Accusations of Genocide Against Israel, Part 2?
A reporter from CNN said that Israel killed 40,000 people in Gaza, mostly civilians and that America and other organizations said those numbers were correct and asked Netanyahu how many dead civilians were enough until Israel would stop fighting. There are two problems with this. One is the reporter makes it sound like Israel is deliberately killing civilians to punish the Palestinians and that if Israel would stop fighting the killing would stop. Israel could agree to a ceasefire but once Hamas restocked with weapons the killing of Israelis would start up again. Another problem is that just because an American politician repeats the numbers they hear from the Gaza Health Ministry, doesn't mean they are correct. In fact a study was done that showed that the numbers were intentionally distorted to make it appear that Israel was deliberately targetting civilians. The only ones who are counting are the Israelis and maybe the Gazan health ministry and you can't trust them. Here is Netanyahu's answer.
In the video below the ambassador of Israel, Regev was asked about civilian casualties.
In the next few videos are explanations of why Israel is fighting in Gaza. Israel can't just say "we don't want Gaza civilians to get hurt so we won't fight." The result of doing that will be more Israeli civilians getting killed and more and more attacks like the one on October 7. Israel tried separating itself from Gaza, it uprooted all the Jews living there and built a wall to keep the Gazan's separate from Israel but it didn't work. Israel's only alternative left is to fight.
In the video below Mr. Regev reminds us of what Hamas did in Gaza explains why Israel is fighting there.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel explains on Yom Hashoah, The day of remembrance of the Holocaust, why Israel is fighting in Gaza.
Trinity Broadcasting Network Reporter and Israeli soldier Yair Pinto speaks about the terrible price Israel is paying by fighting in Gaza and why Israel has to pay that price.
There is a lot of concern in the world about Palestinian civilians and very little concern about Israeli civilians or Israeli soldiers. Israeli soldiers are people too. Here is the letter one of them wrote to his mother for her to read if he was killed by Hamas.
A father of a soldier who was called back to Gaza wrote about why it is necessary to make the sacrifice to save Israel. He wrote:
We gave – because the mission has not yet been completed. Because the threat and horror must be eliminated once and for all. ... Despite, and maybe because of, the fear. Because of the fear of the knock on the door. Because of the fear of bereaved mothers and wives, and crying fathers, and orphans and brothers and friends...We are ready to give and ready to risk and ready to cry and ready to never see one again. To eliminate evil. To fight evil to the bitter end. To sow fear in their hearts. For as long as heinous murderers are able to crush the skull of a 14-year-old shepherd boy, they have no fear. As long as they are able to rape our daughters, shoot in our streets, run over, stab, and shoot, they have no fear. So, we have to, we must, and so we will. We will fight them to the bitter end.
Yair Pinto discussed below how Israel uses its air power and tanks to save its troops. When Israeli soldiers were caught in an ambush and called for help from a helicopter and the helicopter fired a missile at the terrorist's building it's possible that there were civilians in that building who died. What would you have done if you were an Israeli soldier being ambushed? Would you, in order to avoid civilian deaths not asked for help knowing that you would die if you didn't? Israel is condemned the world over for Palestinian civilian deaths. Is it their fault or Hamas's fault? You can see in the video below that Israel is not bombing everything in sight as Arab propagandists would have us believe but instead is specifically targetting Hamas.
