I cannot believe that CBS really thinks we're this stupid.

: How fake do you want the interview?

CBS: Yes!

[znemusic]

This is the fakest interview i've ever seen in a long time 😂😂 what to expect its CBS

[blackmetaldevil]

How did this reporter accomplish what the IDF hasn’t been able to do in over 3 months by finding a HAMAS COMMANDER 😂😂😂

[elijahmiller]

I have a chrome extension that allows me to see dislikes. This video has twice as many dislikes as likes lmao

[nancyperez]

Are you people believing this is a real interview?

[S.O.B.A]

CBS News released a video where I could hear more but it seems like this channel puts what they want others to hear and cut out the places that will not be to their benefit.

[PeaceDunya]

Something looks fishy about those "Khamas" members

[kappaslapper]

Anyone notice the guns they had, at least one was holding a western M16 variant .

[ladoclevita]

Wait.. why his accent sounded so fake?!! 😂😂😂😂 And Abu Abed? That's even cringier

[hrargate]

It seems Hammas with no air defence, tank, navy, aid etc.. becoming your nightmare 😮

[kiadav]

you guys really think this women goes to west bank and interview hamas, by whose authority

[DitaIndahSari]

We all knew them paid actors lmao. Bad acting.

[vornadopro]

Why aren’t you asking the IDF the same question directly to their face like Hamas?

If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. - Malcolm X

[RexoryByzaboo]

"Abu Abd" literally means "Father of the servant". Why would anyone be pleased with that name lol
CBS can't research a good name for their actor 😂

[Zuleika_]

Ok The spokesman for Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades is Abu Ubaidah who can speak about a topic for hours and this is a Hamas Commander Abu Abid ( I mean westerns think just add Abu before a name it will sound more serious) who only speaks and answers a questions with 2 or 3 words “a commander” I can not believe this is a Hamas member

[CrazyGamer-xrcu]

Asking a hamas member from the west bank to talk about the attacks in 7th of October in the Gaza strip, what a good journalism, he doesn't even know that they were going to attack on October the 7th he only knew from the news

[karleone]

@CBSMornings Can you please share the full original video without English dub? I hear complains that the English translation is incorrect or incomplete.

[rebelblade]

Clearly fake. One can tell due to how the Hamas "commander" is keeping his words so short and simple, almost as if he wants people to have a narrow minded idea: the typical Western Orientalist view. Actual interviews with real Palestinian fighters would have been more longer and nuanced, with them talking about the history of Israeli atrocities, Israeli unwillingness to recognize the Palestinian state (Israel made use of clever word games to skirt around recognition of the state by saying it recognized the West Bank authority as a representative in the Oslo Accords) as well as other forms of oppression that they employ on Palestinians. The fact that all that is not there despite how Palestinian groups have routinely tried to mention those indicates that this video is faked.
