Debate on Israeli Responsibility in Conflict

You know, you're an Israeli

sitting on this panel. You've just had Norman Finkelstein say

Israel is a

nation of child killers, and explaining why he believes that.

What's your response to that?

Well, 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.

That's correct. Did you serve in the IDF?

I served as a humanitarian soldier.

I worked to save Palestinian civilians-

Were you a prop-

... in the West Bank and in Gaza

held all the Germans accountable for what happened.

And I don't see why now we have to adopt a double standard and

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.
