Israeli spokesman questioned over the killing of seven aid workers in Gaza | LBC debate

- "The dilemma we have is so many of the aid agencies have been fronts for Hamas."
"What other aid organisation could now trust that the information that it gives to the IDF to protect them will actually be listened to?"
Seven aid workers, including three British nationals, have been killed by an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza.
The UK has called on Israel to "immediately investigate" the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Seven people were killed while working with the World Central Kitchen charity on Gaza’s coastal road in Deir Balah, central Gaza, on Monday night.
Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted they were killed in an "unintentional" Israeli strike.
In a video recorded message issued today, he said: "Unfortunately, in the last 24 hours there was a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli government spokesman David Mencer tells Tom Swarbrick that "we're taking it extremely seriously."

He said Israel 🇮🇱 is a ‘Democratic country with freedom of press’ on the day they passed a law banning all international press. 😂
You see the irony?
Nothing Israel says should EVER be taken seriously, they would lie to Abraham and Noah himself if they resurrected and asked what’s going on.
That's not what he said. He said they were investigating it LIKE a democratic country with freedom of press

It's truly sad that obfuscation can pass as truth... delays and denials...by the time "the investigation" is done, no one will remember the incident as any other memory...and, who really cares about lost memories? Revolution is coming...
"We've investigated ourselves and found We've done nothing wrong"
they never investigated Hind Rajab 6 years old and ambulance try to help Israel knew what they doing looking in the drone clear imagine camera, they never do the same to Rachael Corrie and Shereen Abu Akleh

I am not sure of ANYTHING this Israeli spokesperson says. There is not ANY evidence that Hamas has stolen food or any other aid. It's more propaganda. But it's been profitable for Israel to lie about everything, as the US, UK, EU have done nothing but support their war crimes.

Yeah? What about. Can't answer can you
As bad as Eylon
I can't say it is well justified or well explained! "Something catastrophic happened. Hamas steals food and put it on the black market". Any markets left in Gaza?? "It was an unintentional mishap" when you aim at the roof showing the logo of the charity to fire, and you repeat it 3 times. Sorry to say that when you fire once, it could be an accident, but when you do it 3 times in the same manner, telling your audience that it was unintentional is an insult to them, and to the host and the Corporation that invited you. Eylon Levy has left, but the lying goes on. The truth is that they can't stand having anyone trying to help the Palestinians. It's a deterrent to any organization thinking of replacing UNRWA.
Of course there are open markets in Gaza. Dont be lazy. Google is your friend
Tom: blah blah blah, Israel spokesman: blah blah blah
What happened is that Israel doesn’t want any aid coming in . That’s it
Untrue

It appears that foreign national lives matter more then Palestinians who are regarded as sub human.. it's sickening
I watched all his interveiws. He is a robot, says the same things like, "Hamas is stealing aide no Hamas is hungry" He has been given some talking points to gas light us while Aide workers women and children are being wiped out wilfully. Another talking point is "not a war we wanted" like we werent aware of the killings of Paleatinians in the West Bank and Gaza before Oct 7
He knows so much about Hamas, even their health and we being but they can’t seem to defeat them because they don’t know where they are? 😂😂😂
The three trucks were targeted deliberately, as for his claims that they want as much aid to flow as possible is ludicrous. 'Freedom of press'? Please..

Just saying, and hey I know nobody cares about international politics these days, but for what it's worth....the outrage about the Israeli airforce killing aid workers in Gaza this week. Just a reminder, over a hundred aid workers have already been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the invasion....but they were Palestinian. So it didn't make the headlines. As were the 30,000 civilians killed by the Israeli military since October. So before we all get disgusted by the recent news. Let's just all put in perspective eh? Israel has always treated Palestinians like cattle. Why does anything they do surprise us? Less aid = more starvation. Now watch the land grab.
This guy saw Eylon Levy and said "I want to be that guy". Bizarre.
they all sound exactly the same. it'd be funny if they weren't so evil.

Dual citizenship
I think people working in government should not be allowed to be dual citizens. Too much risk of conflict of interest
Tom is very focused on pretending this is something new. Aid workers have been slaughtered from the start, and feigning surprise now is not a great look Tom. Shall we talk about the journalists or the health workers? Or the apparently invisible civilians...
The number of aid workers killed in this conflict is 197 people. The other when they were Palestinian were said to be part of Hamas
For the past 6 months he was defending the indefensible and supporting ISR's war.

That's not deflection, that's dissonance.
Melanie Philips also believes in Schrödinger's Hamas; They're both taking all the food AND fully stocking all the markets.
Correct.
It's been months now, we should be getting answers on:
- The bombed hospital. ( shifa )
- The sniping of the two women in a churche.
- The attack on the ambulance.
- The rockets that targeted and killed journalists.
- The shooting of the israeli hostages by the IDF.
- The bombing of the refugee camp.
add to this, The killing of NGO operators ( while the UNSC voted a ceasefire ).
There are other tragedies, that had occured that Israel should explain, but i'll refrain from citing what has not been reported on official western media.
And then they destroyed the whole hospital full of sick people
The killing of 6 year old Hind and her family. Plus the ambulance that came to save her.
Very disturbing reports from other media outlets
I remember them saying they don't target hospitals... That was 35 hospitals ago. There is literally no healthcare system left.

If they wanted hostages back they would have negotiated a ceasefire and released Palestinian "prisoners", which in reality are mostly people held without charge and hostages too.
