This is another example of public airing of incitement to genocide.

The fact that Israel as a state is tolerating the spread of incitement to genocide on their media is evidence of genocidal intent.

I really hope that things change and some of the genocidaires are brought to justice for this crime against humanity in my lifetime.

Why not over the age of 5? I wonder what some 5 year old did to him.

not sure why they bother with the distinction

it's not like they won't drop bombs on a 3 year old

nor airlift all the babies out of gaza

5 year old may remember his family killed by Israel.

Starving four year olds? Come on man, they're not monsters.

On Tuesday, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster ran a news program for “the 130th day of the war” hosted by the veteran Ayala Hasson. During the program, she interviewed former Mossad official Rami Igra

Igra echoed President Isaac Herzog’s claim that there are “no uninvolved [civilians] in Gaza.” Igra emphasizes the point by saying “There is no such thing,” as Hasson disrupts him in agreement with an affirming “You’re right, you’re right.”

Just in case anyone's fooled by the headline into believing it's just one deranged former official saying this. That's the host of a supposed news program on the state TV channel (which is controlled by a government-appointed board) agreeing wholeheartedly to his genocidal rhetoric 🤬

I followed the source and it links to a Twitter video with no source. Where's the actual video on the news website?

I strongly disagree.

Imagine thinking this is OK. The dehumanizing mental gymnasts to think this. I'd feel sorry for them and be thinking they need counselling, if it wasn't for the whole supporting/committing genocide thing.....
