Gtfo with claiming this is blood libel. The Israeli government is so painfully and pathetically predictable.
- Omg, I saw that and was like, 'How is she trying to fit that in here?"
- This is the first I've heard of the term, it sounds like blatant newspeak.
  
  Blood libel is a thing but this certainly ain’t it.

EXTREMELY rare Piers W
- He's started to really come around to the right side of this. Good to see, better late than never

Here's where Israel fucked up with their supporting trump play.
If the whole world has turned their back on the US because of a despotic leader, what makes you(Israel) think they'll continue to support you? You're a MUCH smaller player on the international stage than the fucking US.
You done fucked yourselves.

Yeah now that Israel has fallen out of favour and others have already publically condemned their actions of course Piers won't miss the oppurtunity to talk over somebody in the name of journalism. Don't get me wrong - the ambassador can get fucked too. But I still remember all the crap he said about Palestine like a year ago. He was one of the public figures really pushing the "Palestine supporter = hamas terrorism enjoyer" narrative. The killing of Palestinian children hasn't just started now and he was on the side of the perpetrators the whole time. This interview changes nothing about what a greedy, self righteous piece of shit he is.
- It's still cool the trap zionists like that. Not let their lies getting deflected

So is it finally okay to call out Israel on their bullshit now that comfy media personalities are doing it or is that privilege just for them?
- No, you have to wait until traditional media like the evening news and print newspapers do it as well. Because the average boomer is still fed lies about the situation through those.
  
  Yeah and while they were busy telling us the last 20 months that we’re Nazis or antisemtimes or whatever for being anti-genocide now that they’re "waking up“ they’re pretending that they’re already aware and tell others that they "can’t look away anymore"as if they’d be some kind of martyrs who break some taboo. It’s pathetic, really.

Gotta start washing your hands so you can later say "look, I stood against genocide"
Better than doubling down for sure tho.

Amazing how she says that they’re “human shields” like that makes it different or better.
- It's insane, the basic fucking concept of why human shields "work" is that it's morally wrong to kill them. Totally bizarre.

I absolutely detest him, but at least he has the guts (even if it's just for ratings) to ask these questions and make these genocidal maniacs look inept. The majority of "news" media just pander to them.
- Is it guts? I thought "shouty faux-outrage holier than thou" was his brand?
  
  He's a prick at the end of the day, hence I said possibly ratings. I assume also he's seen the vast swing in public opinion and wants to make sure he's somehow on the "reasonable" side. In this specific clip though, he's on the money.

I think the appropriate response from an ambassador to a question they don't know the answer is "let me find out and get back to you", not "please stop asking me questions!".

what changed??? mainstream news is questioning Israel now?? why????? I haven't seen anything like this in Israel's entire history
- Did you see the latest images coming out of Gaza? They're drip feeding humanitarian aid to crowds of people herded like cattle in wired fences.
  It's utterly outrageous, even by Israel's standard. Their activities are too repulsive to ignore for a lot of commentators.
- piers is not exactly mainstream, and he'll do everything to get clicks. including having people on who regularly shit on him, because he knows it gets views. he loves it, and that's all he cares about.
