Israeli spokesperson pushed for answers as Gaza death toll passes 40,000 | LBC

As the Gaza death toll passes 40,000 Nick Ferrari speaks to Israeli spokesperson, David Mencer.

Mencer insists that Israel is fighting for its survival and that it remains resolute in its desire to rescue hostages.

But Nick presses the spokesperson on 'how many more innocent people have to die?'

This comes amid Foreign Secretary David Lammy setting off to Israel to hold talks with Benjamin Netanyahu.

The ministry said Lammy, among other ministers, are 'expected to discuss the effort to prevent regional escalation and promote a deal for the release of the Israeli hostages'.

Hind Rajab was not Hamas member. She was 7 years old who was killed by IDF after IDF gave clear instructions to the ambulance service to save the girl.The same IDF then shot down ambulance and the little girl. Mincer, you are mincing your words. Speak the truth

[artform]

Very poorly conducted interview - no tough questions asked. That was just shockingly bad

[basstrap]

10 months of obliterating Gaza, 40, 000 slaughtered, 80% of civilian infrastructure destroyed, torture camps, 120 journalists murdered, 2m starving to death and the hostages still in captivity. The only hostages released were done so under ceasefire conditions.

Israeli Hasbara 101:
1. We haven't heard reports of deaths, will check into it.
2. Palestinians were killed, but by a faulty Hamas rocket.
3. Okay, we killed them, but they were terrorists.
4. Okay, they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields.
5. Okay, there were no fighters in the area, it was our mistake, but we don’t target civilians, like Hamas.
6. Okay, we've killed far more civilians than Hamas, but look at how terrible other countries are!
7. Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of anti-semite?

This chap need to be arrested if and when he returns to the UK.

Born and Bred in England his patriotism is for Israel 🇮🇱
Can you imagine, someone gets automatic land and house in occupied Palestine 🇮🇱 just for being a Jew

[carlduplessis]

The most important question is never asked . When will the be an independent Palestinian State ?

[BrookT]

The 2 baby twins killed by a precision strike was a war crime

[gjm]

Where’s the pushback on the figures he’s presenting? Where’s the scrutiny in relation to war crimes? Such weak reporting. Allowing this man to make analogies to world war 2 in defence of their war aims is unforgivable.

[AVYNO]

ferrari and mencer, top bullshitters of our time.

[holaclive]

The Israeli settlers have been attacking Palestians way before Oct 7, women, children
Ask him about this

[annabelcleare]

He is victim blaming. Can you imagine if this scenario was the other way round??! But it never would be as no other country on earth rn is given the outrageous leeway the US and UK is extending to Israel.

[VoiceSriLanka]

The question is How many British Israelis citizens fight in British 🇬🇧 army and how many in IDF.

[vm]

The lack of insight into their own behaviour is astounding

[jeaniebottle]

IDF do not realise they're the bad guys now.

[ericvandenbergh]

A terrible interview from Mr Ferrari . It’s like he was just being given a chance to spew the usual propaganda.
This same guy will not sit for an interview with James Obrian for fear of being exposed

[IcarianX]

Its not 40, 000. It's much more. At least 10, 000 dead and missing under the rubble. This doesn't include excess deaths due to the destruction of the healthcare and sanitation system either. The Lancet estimates 70, 000 - 180, 000 deaths

[cuckoospider]

A native Brit is an Israeli spokesperson ....and they talk about British values

[AmsterdamagedHQ]

Just a casual conversation between 2 zionists
