"CNN anchor Jake Tapper was visibly disgusted after Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, victim-blamed nine members of a CNN producer’s family who were killed during Israel’s bombing in Gaza.

During an appearance on CNN’s The Lead, Regev told Tapper, “When this is over, I’m sure you’ll see an explosion of pent-up rage by the people of Gaza against Hamas for everything that they have brought upon the Gazans.""

Finally Jake is having the courage to speak out.

[mmmfahmy]

Did he really say “it was relatively simple” for hundreds of thousands of women, children, elderly and the sick to move south on foot???? Really?

[alaabd]

He is blaming the victims like most evil people who blame their victims

[disgustedHoipoloi]

If Asking 1 million people to leave their homes is not ethnic cleansing, what is?

[efuwwub]

The lies are outrageous from Israeli officials.

[davybean]

You have no right to ask people to leave their land.

[GilbertoGarcia-fqcv]

It's about time CNN had the guts to say something.

[Anonymousdskjoadi]

Sad that a random Australian bloke called regev can live in Palestine while the indigenous Arab population of Palestine cannot.

[aame]

I said it once and I will say it again, any Israeli narrative will completely fall apart as soon as it gets slightly challenged

[asmaabdulhameed]

Birds fly, fish swim. And the Israeli Authority lies ... this how they lived their life for about 80 years

[macareuxmoine]

I lost my mother a few months back and I’m still reeling. I cannot fathom how people go on that loose NINE family members at once. And there is plenty of proof that Israel has plenty of intelligence to know exactly how many civilians it will kill beforehand. To me this has become a regime in pure bloodlust.

[jennifergoodon]

We should not „report both side.“ We should report the TRUTH, the FACTS and hear from both sides, always in light of the FACTS.

[MaJoRMJR]

Given Israel claims hamas are all in tunnels AND that the bombings are not capable of hitting the tunnels, they must be aware that the only people they are hitting are innocent civilians, not only a war crime, but sickening actions.

[Alcagaur]

Mark Regev is a zealot. He was born Mark Freiberg in Australia to Jewish parents, and as a young adult moved to Israel, Hebraicized his surname and took citizenship. He was Israeli Ambassador to the UK in the Trump years.

[daibar]

The victim blaming is pretty disgusting.

[m.b.calderhead]

This is Israel plotting to get the small strip of land that the Palestinians still own. Ethnic cleaning as they push the remaining owners of that land into the sea. Netanyahu has already said that was the long term objective for Israel. The Palestinians have been bullied for years by Israel, who was never satisfied with their portion of the pie. As a member of the Human Race, I’m heartbroken…..for everyone.

[afzalhussain]

I recall my father gave me an example of sadism of a tyrant, they hit you to make you cry, and they threaten you not to cry... tyrants are so full of themselves

[BrenR]

This guy creeps me out so much. How he defends evil with his innocent mannerisms. Sounds so reasonable, yet is pure evil.

[jsd]

They are making sure that the Palestinians have nothing to return to, not that there will be many Palestinians left...the term final solution comes to discusting..

[cyranodaburgerack]

A CNN producer had to lose 9 family members for Tapper to wake up and finally push back. Fail, I'm not impressed.
