‘What Is Wrong With You? We’re Fighting Nazis!’ Fmr. Israeli PM Bennett Explodes on Anchor Asking About Civilian Casualties in Gaza

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett exploded on a Sky News anchor quizzing him about civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, explaining to him that the Israelis were “fighting Nazis.”

“What about those Palestinians in hospital who are on life support and babies in incubators whose life support and incubator will have to be turned off because the Israelis have cut the power to Gaza?” asked the network’s Kamali Melbourne.

“Are you seriously keep on asking me about Palestinian civilians? What’s wrong with you? Have you not seen what happened? We’re fighting Nazis,” shouted Bennett. “We don’t target them. Now the world can come and bring them anything they want. If you want to bring them electricity, I’m not going to feed, electricity, or water to my enemies. If anyone else wants, that’s fine. We’re not responsible for them,” he insisted.

The exchange got more heated from there, with both men attempting to talk over each other:

BENNETT: You listen to me right now, I’ve heard you enough —

MELBOURNE: We’re trying to have a conversation here. Listen, this is my program, this is my show and I am asking the questions. You’re raising your voice and I’ve asked you, and we’ve already, we’ve already distinguished between Hamas —

BENNETT: Shame on you, mister. I wanna tell you, shame on you because we are not, shame on you —

Bennett then brought up the United Kingdom’s bombing of Dresden during World War II as a precedent for the acceptance of some civilian casualties in war.

“And in hindsight, many people have readdressed that kind of carpet bombing,” countered Melbourne.

“Oh I see, now you’re Mr. Clean,” replied Bennett. “Shame on you!”

“Are you going to let me ask you a question, or are you going to continue shouting at me?” asked Melbourne. “We’ve already distinguished between Hamas and the Palestinians. I’m asking you very directly, very directly: What is going to be done to make sure that those innocent people don’t get killed as innocent Jewish people were killed on Saturday?”

“Well, we’re going to target Hamas and we’re telling Hamas that if you use anyone as your human shield, and you’re going to shoot at us using human shields, that it’s their responsibility,” answered Bennett. “Listen, mister. If someone is shooting at your children and hiding behind a human shield, will you shoot back or not? I’m asking you a question.”

“Mr. Bennett, I’m not here to answer your questions. I’ve asked you your questions, and you answered them,” shot back Melbourne.
