‘Your Apologies Are WORTHLESS’: Mehdi Confronts Ex-Israeli Ambassador

Quick Overview

Former Israeli diplomat Danny Ayalon and journalist Mie debated the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with Ayalon defending Israel's actions as self-defense against Hamas while Mie presented evidence of alleged war crimes, famine, and potential genocide, highlighting discrepancies in casualty figures and the ineffectiveness of Israeli investigations.

Key Points: Mie confronted former Israeli diplomat Danny Ayalon regarding the Israeli strike on NASA hospital, describing it as a "double tap" akin to actions by al-Qaeda and ISIS, killing at least 20 people, including journalists and first responders. Ayalon defended Israel's actions as self-defense following the October 7th attacks, stating, "It's a matter of self-defense. We do not like to have people who are not involved. But this is the scourge of war," while Mie countered that "October the 7th doesn't justify killing paramedics and then mass grave burying them with their ambulances. That is a war crime." The discussion highlighted a significant dispute over casualty figures, with Mie citing reports of up to 180,000 deaths and Ayalon questioning the numbers, stating, "we have an issue with the numbers because mostly it is based on Hamas numbers and it's manipulative." Mie presented Israeli military intelligence data suggesting 83% of those killed in Gaza were civilians, a statistic Ayalon disputed, claiming, "my numbers show that at least 20,000 Hamas terrorist." Ayalon argued that if a hospital is used for terror, it becomes a legitimate target, but Mie refuted claims of weapons at NASA hospital, stating, "There were no guns on top of the NASA hospital. That is a lie." Regarding alleged Israeli soldiers shooting children in the testicles, Ayalon dismissed the claims as "evil is it depraved is it sadistic what word would you describe uh shooting children in the testicles? I think there is a gross misunderstanding. What you describe here is what Hamas did on the 7th of October to civilian innocent Jewish people. Israeli army does not do that." The conversation touched upon the famine in Gaza, with Mie stating, "The world is now no longer with you" due to the "horrific famine that Israel has caused in Gaza, kids being starved to death," while Ayalon claimed the IPC changed criteria and that Hamas is responsible for aid distribution issues.
