Former Israeli army general on civilian deaths in Gaza | UpFront

The war on Gaza enters its third month with over 17,000 Palestinians killed.

The recent assault comes as Israel expanded its offensive to the entire enclave after talks between Hamas and Israel broke down last week.

As Israel continues with its aim of “eradicating" the Palestinian group, how effective is its operation? And what is Israel’s next move?

On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill challenges former Israeli army general, Yaakov Amidror, on Israel's aims and military strategy in Gaza.

You know what is worse than using a human shield, someone that shoots through a human shield

[resurrectedone]

They have absolutely no respect for anyone, commit horrible crimes, and then lie all About it and even blame it on the victims.

[Hellsgator]

Finally someone that just cuts off an interview and is not willing to go with the narative given. Kudos to Marc.

[ogz]

The way he ended this interview….legendary 🤩

[keithmcilwaine]

They believe their own lies… Arguing/debating with them is just a waste of time.

[oyishihaque]

If they don’t control gaza how were they able to turn off electricity and water?

[rickykelly]

Brother ate him up, showed the fanatical liar that he is. That’s journalism, standing on facts.

[Resa-nc]

Well Done Marc !!! The world is so blind to what has been going on and I’m so pleased to see that Marc stands up for the truth !

[salpietromonaco]

Unbelievable! He was caught in several obvious lies. I have to applaud Marc Lamont Hill. An excellent interviewer. We need a few people like him in Western media outlets who will not permit the bald-faced lies we're repeatedly hearing.

[henrybrant-zl]

The classic Israeli reversal of truth and reality.

[connordekartonnencactus]

Wow! This general lifted the term "vile lying apartheid mouthpiece" to a whole new level... respect Marc

[afghaneagle]

Mr Lamont is amazing at his job. He addresses people with respect and really knows how to challenge them without causing friction.

I love when you allow the world to see the hypocrisy in real time. It goes even deeper. You cannot even adopt a Palestinian baby without going through Israel, and getting permission. And even then you have to adopt a child with a “disability” not my words. Go look it up. It’s disgusting the level of imperialism imposed on these people.

[aceheart]

Do the Israelis understand how ridiculously weak, and unreasonable their spokespersons are....

[greglewis]

There was no command center under the hospital. That was a lie

[esmaanderson]

Geez, these people are absolutely infuriating and, it seems, deliberately obtuse. Good for Marc Lamont Hill for cutting it short there.

[sn]

These interviews just highlights how casually and effortlessly Israeli officials lie.

[mmmfahmy]

Worst case of victim blaming in history right in front of our eyes.

[strawhats]

This guy is a great journalist and presenter.
The way the Israeli can just say things without any real evidence is infuriating

[JJs_playground]

Marc Lamont is such a great interviewer. Hard hitting and is not afraid of asking the tough questions.
