Debate on Israeli Responsibility in Conflict
You know, you're an Israeli
sitting on this panel. You just had Norman Finkelstein say Israel
is a
nation of child killers, and explaining why he believes that.
What's your response to that?
No, I'm just asking Norman, am I a child killer?
That's what you just said. Am I a c- a child killer?
I would say the probability is, the higher probability is yes.
Yeah.
I'm sorry to tell you that.
Then I'm a child killer.
That's correct. Did you serve in the IDF?
I served as a humanitarian soldier.
I worked to save Palestinian civilians-
Were you a, were you a propagandist

only Netanyahu, and the Israeli people bear
no responsibility, no culpability.
No, I'm sorry, you do bear culpability. It was in broad daylight.
It was on the web. It was in real life. It was in real time.
You bear a lot of culpability about what happened.
