– Israeli Military “Denies Targeting Children” Slammed For “Not Having The Courage To Talk To Hamas” (ZeroHedge, July 16, 2014):
In one of the most uncomfortable (and must-see) interviews, UK Channel 4’s John Snow ‘discusses’ Israel’s bombing raids and policies towards Hamas with Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev. The interview starts with a punch, “How does killing children on a beach contribute to your purpose of protecting Israeli civilians?” Regev ducks and weaves from question to question, flummoxed when Snow jabs, “if you couldn’t tell these were 4 young Palestinian children playing football on a Gaza beach, you need better equipment,” only to be slammed towards the end with, “why not be brave and talk directly to Hamas? You haven’t got the courage.” Not the kind of interview one is likely to see on US TV.

The aftermath…
And the rather stunning interview…
Why should Israel talk to terrorists that want to murder all its people? Does Hamas want to talk to Israel?
