To give a little longer response, it is disheartening that the only response to that kind of genocide is a audible sigh. Maybe that was fine, but you have that murderer on national TV. Rake him through the coals.
Edit - Thinking more about this - if you had Goebbels on your show during WW2, what would you ask him?
Honestly have to agree. You've got him on TV, and after that remark, you should drag that line of thinking all the way out. Make them justify it, don't just accept "oh they should've known better".
Have you read up on anything about Netenyahu? He is king asshole over there right now.
Something like 80% of the population hates their current government and, rightly, actively blames them for the entire current situation.
He's not currently employed by the Israeli government

Is it so hard to remember that the Israeli government is an extreme right wing, theocratic regime.
The likelihood of your values aligning well with them or their spokespeople, even within Israel, is very low. They stripped their own supreme court of the ability to stop them doing what they wanted.
There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard."
Go fucking where?! Move south? Okay just pack up and move south? Well actually, IDF tells them to leave everything behind and those that don't leave everything have been bombed on the evacuation routes under suspension of being Hamas. Oh and they've bombed areas they've told people to go! So, go fucking where?! With nothing but the clothes on your back, to a place with no water, food, or shelter. That probably will be bombed anyway. Ya so, GO FUCKING WHERE?
There's more evacuation orders now too. So they've made about 3/4 of Gaza off limits. And of course you still can't evacuate through IDF lines. Only further towards the water...
The "vote for Genocide Joe 2025" shills are in full force right now even on Lemmy while he's still actively commiting genocide. Democrats don't give a shit about this and neither do Republicans.
I'll bite. That's because his likely opponent is actively trying to dismantle the American democracy, together with a big chunk of the rest of the republicans.
So the choice is between Biden and actual fascists. Should be kind of an easy choice, eh?
I think its "genocide of Gaza" for Joe and "genocide for Ukraine and Gaza" for Trump. As shitty as the choice is, there will sadly be real world consequences for it.
Never paid attention to the guy until this video in 2020. Now I know he's a corporate media talking head and all, but seems like when I do take the time to listen to him, I'm hard pressed to find where I disagree strongly. I was pretty shocked and impressed that he took it to the cops so directly in that one.
