Unusually hostile BBC HardTalk interview of Bennett on Gaza War

Fmr. Prime minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett to BBC (20/12/23)

[@barnabasnwankwegu6352]

How can someone fight Hamas without hurting civilians People that use human being as their shield.

[@nickmoore7598]

It's beyond me that they keep using human shields after 20+ years of it not working. Human shields only work with one country and one country only, America. Because even if they don't care about civilians they still care about their image

[@userxyz64]

Let's not be niave! Civilians get killed in conflict, but the stats here are telling. The number of aid workers and journalists shot is unheard of. Demolishing universities, schools and hospitals is not about eradicating Hamas, it is about ethnic cleansing. Telling the civilian population to upsticks and move to the other end of Gaza does not justify pancaking apartment blocks. Imagine claiming that giving a hospital notice to vacate is kind or reasonable behaviour. Meanwhile Nethenyahu's Hamas Recruitment Campaign continues. Sorry, Bennett is a Hasbara propagandist. There is no independent verification of the alleged atrocities of rape and infanticide on the 7th Oct. Please research the Isreali organisations that where first on the ground after the Isreali gunships ceased.

[@maxheadrom3088]

The BBC has a history of a more unbiased coverage of the conflict. Unbiased may not be the correct word but they used to cover the Palestinian side much more than other news companies. For some reason, in the past decade and a half, they started to cover the Palestinian side less (they also close their offices in the Middle East). Also, since that dude from Labor - a historic supporter of Palestine - got more votes there was a shift towards Israel to support the narrative that the dude is against Jews. I think that because of those things, Israeli officials got accustomed to being well treated recently. This Hard Talk was pretty mild, actually.

[@BitterPillPapa]

Honest journalism and BBC have no place in the same sentence. The host is a pompous hypocrite.

[@ndumisoshezi-parker7942]

In a land where whispers stirred the trees, Two neighbors faced, divided by beliefs. One clutched a sword, the other a plow, Each bound to a vow, under the same sunlit bough. The Palestinian's eyes, like embers in the night, Burned with the tales of ancestral fight. Yet in his heart, a quiet voice did rise, Speaking of peace under the same vast skies. The Israeli, weary of the endless fray, Dreamt of a life untouched by disarray. He knew the cost of war, the needless pain, And yearned for harmony to reign. "Choose peace," the wind seemed to implore, "Let go of wrath, and war no more." The Palestinian paused, his sword hand still, Contemplating a future shaped by goodwill. For in the choice between war and peace, Lies a path to healing, a sweet release. A choice not of cowardice, but of might, To embrace the dawn, and end the night. So the Palestinian sheathed his sword with grace, And met his Israeli neighbor in a warm embrace. In choosing peace, they found a greater power, A bond unbroken, a resilient flower. For in the end, we all are but brief, Passing shadows on this earthly reef. But in choosing peace over needless strife, We weave a legacy, a fuller life. So let us choose, before the final hour, The gentle hand over the show of power. For in each heart, the choice does lie, To live in peace, or in hatred die.

They've been indiscriminate in their slaughter. The number of journalists, drs, children, etc is unprecedented. Israeli citizens are also protesting bc they want their hostages back before they're killed. This madness is obviously an act of revenge and anyone who calls out the idf is deemed "antisemitic." Hamas was created bc of the apartheid state of Israel and their ability to blockade Gaza, illegally occupy the West Bank and E Jerusalem. They're the only country to make children face military court and hold them in admin det. Does anyone truly believe this is making anyone safer? They've told Gazans to move to "safe areas" and bomb those, as well. The mainstream media in the beginning was disgustingly biased in favor of Israel. Now they are starting to hold the Israeli govt accountable (softly) bc there is no denying what we've all been watching via social media.

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. It was a *metaphor*. Because as crazy as it is for people like you to believe, Amalek weren’t just some innocent nation either. They were a nation who stabbed Israel in the back when they were at their weakest. So wars against them are considered justified. Does that mean point blank that Israel will treat Palestinians the same way? *No*. Israel will still only kill its enemies- Hamas terrorists.

When you look back into history....Israel was once the "small guy" in the middle East. Many years later, Israel is arguably the most powerful nation in the middle East. Its closest enemy, Palestine, has realized it can't bully Israel, so it resorted to "crying wolf" and playing the victim, and yet it was Palestine that immediately rejected the two state solution on the onset and gathered 5 Arab countries to attack Israel when it had barely been a state for 24 hours. The world, as gullible as it always is, buys into the "victim" image projected. Naftali rightly presents what the average Israeli feels everyday.

Naftali Bennett, I'm quite sure, is well aware of the rape and murder that the indigenous Palestinian people were victims of during the Nakba in 1948. Not to mention the " mowing the lawn" actions that have taken place fairly regularly in the past number if years.
