CNN presses IDF spokesperson on the ratio of civilian casualties. Hear his response

CNN's Erin Burnett asks Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, about a report that for every Hamas militant that Israel has killed in Gaza, about two civilians have also been killed. #CNN #News

I served in Iraq twice, once during the invasion and once for OIR(ISIS). As someone with military experience, I know for a fact you cannot kill terrorism, you cannot kill an idea. It’s impossible, this is a pointless War just like Iraq

[Chompchompyerded]

If it really is two to one, there were a lot of elderly, infants, and children who were members of Hamas.

Over 16, 000 civilians killed, more than half women and children — what world is this guy living in?

[stitchcrafter]

Is " fighting" the same as
" bombing"???

[SilverSprings]

So by his own admission, there are only a "few" areas they don't want to target. And 2 million people are supposed to fit there?

[ImpossiblyBlack]

The problem Israel has is that the longer the war drags on the harder it is for their justifications and excuses to pass the smell test. This shift happens in every war, it's just that it is happening much faster in this case.

[Tejaye]

So they are saying a third of the people who were killed were HAMAS so that means according to what they are saying about 67% of persons dying are innocent people. That means in reality it's probably about 80 to 90% of the people are innocent the way the IDF do their counts.

[Newniche]

This is manifest ignorance right before our eyes. How could any decent human being unalive an entire family being used as a "human shield" to eliminate a potential target? And how and why should America allow such actions?

[John-jh]

□Hamas was perfectly aware of the civilian casualties that would follow poking the bear, and they're literally hiding behind these civilians like a bunch of COWARDS.

I just can't take this Lt Boratt seriously.

[thomaspenoyer]

This man ( guest) has absolutely no credibility for getting to the truth on these issues! You need international guest reports from people that are on the scenes being discussed! No more "Fox people" telling their versions of what is the news that is happening!

[Eugenio]

Instead of pressing IDF. In order to stop the invassion, why are you not calling out to Hamas and ask them to release the hostages they kidnapped.

If you really want to help, go to Gaza. Offer yourself as an exchange to hostages so you can talk to Hamas.

[לוי-טכ]

15, 000 young children and women died in 50 days in Gaza with the participation of America and Britain

[marina]

Not a word about the ratio of hostage holders among UNWRA teachers and pediatric doctors in the Gaza Strip.

Kudos to Jonathan for standing his ground during this interview.

[mkAYY]

total BS, wouldnt trust this guy as far as i could throw him.

Euromed monitor, an independent human rights org in Geneva chaired by former un human rights member, reports 90% civilian causalty rate. Other human rights orgs are similarly reporting 70+%
