Even Israel’s leading human rights group has accused the nation of apartheid, and Jerusalem’s deputy mayor says the aim is to settle more Jews in the heavily Palestinian parts of East Jerusalem. Here’s what Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Elad Strohmayer says to that:

What Israel is doing is called "collective paneshment".. a war crime under international law.. Hamas did not wakeup today and decided to press a red button and launch rockets, Israel is kicking palestinians from their homes in east Jerusalem, Hamas is responding to Israel attacks

Mehdi, you are better than this. Israeli’s can’t invoke International law guidelines until they move their borders back to internationally recognized locations. Weak ass interview.
Replying to @MehdiHasanShow
followup question could be that can israel provide solid evidence that the apartment building was used for military purposes. @mehdirhasan

Stealing properties, evicting home owners on one pretext of the other, jailing murdering kids and women is acceptable. Destroying crops of Palestinian, not alloying them to fish on their coast. Not alloying them to do business outside isn't war crime,than what is.

Did he just say that Hamas or other Pal organizations are justified in bombing any Israeli high rise building if someone lives there that participate in the occupation? Really?

You’re so good at your job! Thank you for your outstanding interviews. I wish more reporters would conduct interviews with follow up questions & statements that hold their interview on topic & stop letting them answer with BS.

The most telling comment from the Israeli spokesman was when he said "Hamas want us to attack civilian targets". I may not be much of a soldier (18 months as a regular in the IDF) but I know enough that in a conflict you do not do what the enemy wants you to do.
