Israel’s “Double Tap” Strike: Journalists & Civilians Slaughtered
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Israel has done a double tap strike on Gaza's Nasser hospital, killing journalists and then also rescue workers.
And when we talk about a double tap strike, do you remember the video called, they called it collateral murder.
It wasn't collateral damage, but it was collateral murder.
The video of the people in the gunship, I think it was going to be a C-130 ghost ship or something, but they had recorded the video where first they shot up an area where there was a guy, a cameraman, and they recorded that and then they waited until the clearly marked ambulance came and as they grabbed the cameraman and other people who had been shot in the first attack,
they then put them in the ambulance and then they shot up the ambulance.
And that was leaked by WikiLeaks.
And that really was the thing that set the government on fire to go after Julian Assange.
They called it collateral murder.
Well, similar thing just happened.
The Associated Press said the initial strike was at ten ten AM Gaza time hit the fourth floor of the hospital, which was a surgical operating room and a doctor's residences, killing at least two people.
Once rescue workers and journalists arrived at the scene, a second strike hit, killing eighteen more people, a double tap attack that was caught on video.
The Israeli outlet nine hundred seventy two magazine published the investigation last month that said the IDF has adopted using double tap strikes as a standard procedure in Gaza.
They said the video of the double tap strike on Nasser Hospital is footage of murder, quote-unquote.
Again, collateral murder.
According to Reuters, the initial strike killed one of its contractors, a cameraman, who was killed near a live broadcasting position operated by Reuters on the upper floor of the hospital.
And this is an article from antiwar.com.
They said they have a photo account with Reuters, and they've used many of this photograph to this guy and his work.
The Israeli newspaper Heretz reported that the Israeli military said that the initial strike targeted a camera, which they claimed was a Hamas camera that was being used to observe IDIA forces.
They say that Israeli tank shells struck the area, then another one was fired to make sure the camera was destroyed.
Netanyahu later claimed that the double tap strike was a tragic mishap.
So first they said, yeah, it was people who were taking pictures for the other side, you know, just like at Harvard or whatever.
The other four journalists who were killed in the Israeli attack on the hospital were mentioned here, freelancers for Associated Press or for some of them work for Middle East Eye.
or Al Jazeera or whatever.
But Israeli forces killed 64 Palestinians in Gaza over 24 hours, the last 24 hours.
This is a running update that's done every day on antiwar.com.
If you go there, you can see how many dozens of people have been murdered over the last day in terms of civilians.
Israeli forces killed 64 Palestinians, wounded 278 over the previous 24 hour period as relentless U.S.-backed Israeli attacks continue across the Strip.
Among the dead were 19 Palestinians killed while attempting to get food.
at the aid sites.
And Netanyahu has, it's now been reported from an Israeli newspaper, that he has shut down seven ceasefire deals, deals that have been agreed to by the other side, and yet he's shut them down, including very early on when they could have released hostages.
This is one of the reasons why you have so many people in Israel who are protesting Netanyahu.
Over the course of the war in Gaza, Israel has repeatedly dug up roadblocks to ceasefire deals with Hamas, even when the Palestinian group accepted its conditions.
According to senior American and Israeli officials interviewed by the program, Israel blocked a ceasefire agreement and the program is Israel's channel thirteen.
13 investigative program.
Israel blocked the ceasefire agreement on seven different occasions during nearly two years of its devastating military campaign against Gaza.
Officials said Netanyahu was chiefly responsible, often bowing to pressure from far right ministers, including Bezal Smotric and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, Matthew Miller, under Joe Biden, said that at the start of the war, in October of 2023, Hamas was ready to release some hostages.
We've been trying to get through to the government of Israel to tell them that, Miller said, but I don't think they wanted to have that end.
Smotric has told the IDF chief that anyone who does not evacuate Gaza City can die of hunger or they can surrender.
Israel's channel twelve also reported that Netanyahu has said that he has Trump's full support for the planned offensive to take over Gaza City, but that he has limited time.
Smotric has told the head of the Israeli military that anyone who remains in Gaza City after an IDF evacuation order can die of hunger or surrender.
You can besiege them, Smotrich reportedly told the IDF chief of staff, whoever doesn't evacuate, don't let them.
No water, no electricity.
They can die of hunger or surrender.
This is what we want, and you are capable of doing it.
There have been a lot of apologists here in America for Israeli policy who have said, that's not what's happening.
This is just the fog of war and other things like this, or as Huckabee cynically said, well, you know, they're getting rushed by a bunch of these people, and so they get scared and they panic and they fire into the crowd.
That's what's happening.
No, that's not what's happening.
Many people who are there said that they shot people who were fleeing, shot them in the back.
But this is policy.
This siege policy of starvation is their policy.
And they're not even quiet about it.
It's just that it's not reported by American media for the most part, or the Trump administration's Zionists will put it in a different light.
Eighteen Palestinians starved to death in Gaza over three days due to Israeli siege.
So this is something that's happening on a regular basis.
Then we have U.S. Ambassador Kushner.
Is that a familiar name?
Well, it turns out that that's Jared's dad.
He's now triggered a diplomatic fight with France because he's ambassador there, demanding that France do more for Israel.
Charles Kushner, the convicted felon father of Jared Kushner, pardoned by President Trump, then in his first administration, and then appointed as U.S. Ambassador to France, triggered a diplomatic fight on Sunday.
by writing a letter to the French government accusing them of not doing enough for Israel.
Not the U.S. Not that they're not doing enough for us.
Yeah, exactly.
That's the point.
Yeah, it's like, who's he ambassador for?
Who's he loyal to?
On the 81st anniversary, he said, of the Allied liberation of Paris, which ended the deportation of Jews from French soil, I write out of deep concern over the dramatic rise of anti-Semitism in France.
And so here we go.
I would say that in reality, people like Kushner are actually making anti-Semitism great again.
That's what they're doing.
Yeah, these are the ambassadors for the Semitic people.
They have trouble.
It's not that most of these guys are actually from the Middle East.
If you want to know why people are getting upset about this, and actually there was an opet piece on RT and they said Netanyahu may be winning this Gaza war, but he's losing the war of public opinion.
And that's absolutely true.
That's what John Stewart said.
I don't agree with John Stewart on anything except that.
He said that he said, you know, he's Jewish and he said, I want to see Israel succeed.
And they're poisoning people's opinion about Israel with a sustained attack against civilians.
We've got some videos on the board about both of those things.
One of Jon Stewart talking about Gaza and one of Netanyahu talking about the massive BAAT armies that the Palestinians are mobilizing to completely drown out little Israel's tiny amount of media control.
Yeah, let's play that.
First of all, I'll go to the Jon Stewart genocide in Gaza video.
I feel like I'm watching something that is so self-evidently inhumanizing.
By speaking out.
I would say the opposite.
I think not.
I think they're putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk with this type of action.
I think they're the ones that are being anti-Semitic if you want to define Netanyahu with the definition of anti-Semitism would probably have to bomb himself.
How is the world not stepping in and stopping this atrocity?
I don't understand this in any way, shape or form.
I mean, it's not it's not it's not worse than just not stepping in.
It's our weapons that are enforcing this siege, that is enforcing this mass starvation.
In November of 2024, something like eight months ago, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu for the war crime of starvation.
Eight months ago.
Eight months ago.
And the United States responded by trashing the International Criminal Court, even under Biden, and then under Trump imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court.
And so the message to Israel was very clear.
You can get away with worse.
And so then for almost three months in early this year, Israel cut off all food, all medicine, all water.
They've just poured all water into the Gaza Strip.
It's a siege.
It's a military siege.
Yes, that we are deeply complicit in.
It could not happen without us.
And they openly talk about it.
We use our leverage.
Surely the United States can't believe that this is in the best interest of the region.
And when Donald Trump says something like, finish the job, what job is he talking about?
What does that mean?
Well, I mean, the Trump plan made it pretty clear.
The mass expulsion of all Palestinians from Gaza.
And that is official Israeli law.
But do you believe in the people of Israel would second that?
There must be a robot there.
There are many Israelis who are appalled by this, absolutely.
But the problem is when a leader like Netanyahu can get away with this again and again and again, it actually makes him stronger.
The way to weaken Netanyahu at home will be to show Israelis that when Netanyahu does these brutal things to the Palestinians, that it actually that there are consequences, not human consequences in human lives.
I don't want an Israeli to die, but there have to be some consequences so Israelis see that this is not good for them.
Yeah.
Well.
Yeah, well, you know, what Jared Kushner's dad says is anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, plain and simple.
That was in the letter that he wrote to the French government.
No, it's actually people like him that are responsible for this more than anyone else.
And when we look at what they're saying, we need to get the message out.
to more people in Israel.
There's been a lot of pushback.
Netanyahu was barely elected.
He had to have three different elections before he could put together a parliamentary coalition to govern.
And there's been a lot of pushback in Israel against these policies.
But Netanyahu is very worried that people are going to.
see more information showing what he's doing.
So he's responding against the bots.
The propaganda war.
The propaganda war?
Well, look.
It's a propaganda war.
Well, he knows it's a propaganda war because that's what he's doing.
To put it mildly, I think there are vast forces that are arrayed against us.
Among other things, the algorithms of the social network that are driving a lot of everything else, you know, and the people who really know, and they're the foremost.
foremost people in this field in the world.
They're telling me that about 60% of the responses on the social media are bots.
They can categorically say they're bots.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
what do we do about this?
Well, one of the ways...
Well, he's got some really high-powered cybersecurity people like that pedophile that they just sent back to Israel.
We've got to have him.
He's going to fight the bot armies.
Exactly.
We need him.
But they also have the ADL and their CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, kind of said the quiet part out loud.
Listen to this.
Think about it.
The national symbol, let's say, of Hezbollah is a rifle.
That's what's on their flag.
The national symbol of Iran, the Islamic Cup of Iran.
Gotta burn those flags.
That's what's on their flag.
The national symbol of Israel is the shield.
It's the star of David.
The symbol of our people is not a weapon of war.
It's an instrument of defense.
The thing that most embodies our entire ethos is not harming others.
It's again creating a better world.
This is fundamental to our tradition for thousands of years.
And so the idea that our national anthem would be the Hatikba would be the hope.
I should say our.
It's the Israel's national anthem.
So the idea that our national anthem would be the hope.
I should say our.
It's the Israel's national anthem.
Yeah, he's just like Jared Kushner's father.
He has no loyalty to the United States.
No loyalty.
It's a matter of what he can extort and pull from the United States.
How much he can take from the American people while bullying them and causing them to submit.
Yeah, our country.
And I thought it was kind of interest the coat of arms of the Rothschilds, this occult symbol they call the Star of David.
But he said, Trump, and this is going back to Charles Kushner's letter to the French government.
Trump and I have Jewish children and share Jewish grandchildren.
I know how he feels about anti-Semitism.
Yeah, it's misplaced loyalties all around.
As a reminder, you know, Kushner was jailed.
because he had hired a prostitute to seduce his own brother-in-law and arranged to secretly film the encounter as part of a witness intimidation scheme, reports information liberation.
And guess who the prosecutor was in that?
Chris Christie.
Christie better watch his back.
He's going to get the Bolton treatment pretty soon.
I can play the video in this article if you want.
Yeah, well, firstly, he says, is that the one with Chris Christie talking about the prosecution?
He said, I want to talk about Jared Kissner because frankly, he humps it down.
He's the one who fired you.
That's what Steve Bannon told me, yes.
And you believe that?
Sure.
Right.
You believe that because there's history between the two of you.
Between me and his father, not between me and him.
But you can understand why he takes it personally.
Yes and no.
Would you separate your experience if your father had been put in jail from the prosecution?
If my father was guilty, I would.
Mr. Kushner pled guilty.
He admitted the crimes.
And so what am I supposed to do as a prosecutor?
I mean, if a guy hires a prostitute to seduce his brother in law and videotapes it and then sends the videotape to his sister to attempt to intimidate her from testifying before the court.
Sounds like Epstein.
Do I really need any more justification than that?
I mean, it's one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was U.S. attorney.
And I was U.S. attorney in New Jersey, Margaret.
So we had some loathsome and disgusting crime going on there.
When you managed to disgust Chris.
Christie, you've truly achieved something.
You've set new lows.
Can you imagine somebody doing that?
Yeah, I can.
Somebody like Jeffrey Epstein.
And here we have another connection with all of this stuff, right?
The Kushners and the Epsteins and the Trumps all together with all that.
It's a big club and you ain't in it, thankfully.
You can be thankful you're not in it.
So he was, you know, he pled guilty and he was convicted and jailed, but given a full, unconditional pardon by Trump at the end of his first term.
And then at the beginning of his second term, Trump made him U.S. Ambassador to France.
Now he is lecturing foreign countries as though he is a beacon of morality and he is representing the interests of a different country.
As American ambassador, he's representing the interests of Israel.
All of that is what we're seeing from the Trump administration.
If you thought the job of U.S. ambassador was to represent the interest of the U.S., you would be wrong, writes Information Liberation.
Absolutely right.
Now, his concern is Israel, as you point out, Travis.
Chris Menahan says, quotes Mike Huckabee, who said to the Israelis, you are the chosen people.
If someone is angry at God, he will be angry at the people who represent him.
I think this is a real problem and this is why I push back against Christian Zionist.
I'm sorry, but what they're doing in Gaza is not representative of God and is not representative of what he wants them to do.
And you got people like Huckabee who think that they can force God's hand to do what they want to do, which is to come back and take them away so they don't have to die.
And they're more than willing to cheer the mass murder of civilians in other part of the world, hoping that that will result in them not having to die.
I'm absolutely disgusted with their theology and their politics.
And I have to say that is not Christianity.
And I have to say that to non-believers, because this is a disgusting perversion of Christianity that these people are teaching.
I can play the video, if you want.
Of Huckabee?
Of this.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Go ahead.
The Ambassador has a very interesting view of anti-Semitism.
She grew up in America.
There was anti-Semitism, of course.
I've experienced it, we've all experienced it.
The Ambassador has a very interesting view of that.
He says, people are you can't understand anti-Semitism.
If the people were anti-Semitic, it's because they're against God, against Rabbi Shulay.
And we are represented as his people, and that's why they're anti-Semitic.
Otherwise, it doesn't make any sense.
Interesting view.
It's an interesting view.
It's another view that since we consider the chosen people, so people are very...
Who are you?
Why are you taking big shots?
Chosen people.
And that's part of it, is that because you are the chosen people, given a chosen place, for a chosen purpose.
And if someone is angry at God, he'll be angry at the people who represent him.
So I tell people anti-Semitism is irrational.
There's no reason for it, unless you understand the spiritual reason, which is what I believe is at the heart of it.
is not the left versus the right it is good versus evil It is the creator versus those who rebel against the creators.
Yeah, well, being descended from Abraham, even if they are, there's some question about that.
But even if they are descended from Abraham, that does not give them a pass to fight against God and his Messiah.
And that's the real spiritual issue that's there.
And Huckabee has lost his way.
Yeah, there's no bloodline that gives you a free pass on murder and genocide.
Those who follow Christ are his chosen people.
And he has chosen that's made very clear in terms of the Bible that's the true issue.
because you are a particular ethnic group that God honors that and excuses whatever you do.
There is no salvation outside of Christ.
And not all of Israel is Israel.
And they just illustrate that.
It was always a people who were faithful to God.
It was always a part of Israel that followed God and a larger part of Israel that did not follow God all throughout the Old Testament.
I think within the next two to three weeks, Trump said, you're going to have a pretty good, conclusive ending to all of this, he said in the Oval Office.
And so I remember Smotrich said, you can do whatever you want want, kill as many people as you want.
We're going to do this quickly though.
And that's the marching orders that they got.
This is the collusion that is coming from our Sionist president.
Do whatever you want to these people.
This is mass murder of civilians, and that is the essence of what genocide really is about.
And as I said at the beginning of the program, it's Israeli data itself that shows that 83% of the Gaza war dead are civilians.
When we talk about whether or not a war is justified, we have a lot of different aspects Number one, were we attacked?
Okay, you can check that mark off.
But number two, did you try to avoid civilian deaths by trying to limit this to combatants.
And of course, we lost our way in World War two.
Both sides did, and we've been attacking civilians everybody has since then.
That's unjust, even if it has now become the standard and commonplace, that is still unjust.
And then the third thing I would mention is that you want to try to your purpose of your war is to stop the killing, especially of civilians.
And so you should try to stop the war early and you should try to avoid killing civilians, but that's not what they have done.
Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence directorate database show that at least eighty three percent of Palestinians killed were civilians, with Gaza health authorities recording 53,000 deaths by May.
Despite public statements asserting lower civilian losses, Israeli government and army spokespeople claimed a 1-to-1 or a 2-to-1 civilian to combat ratio, combatant ratio.
But the classified data reveals a much higher civilian share.
Figures in the database show 8,900 named fighters dead.
or probably dead, with 7,330 certain and 1,570 probable.
They lie nonstop, said one person.
Both the military echelon and the political echelon.
Well, I mean, that's it when you look at any government statistics, whether they're talking about unemployment figures or talking about inflation.
They lie about everything.
And so these numbers are probably not as bad as reality.
The reality is probably worse.
Human rights groups argue that the data bolsters the genocide claim.
Experts note that an 83% civilian kill rate in Gaza is exceptionally high, comparable only to Rwanda and a couple of other places like that, rising to more than 86% if probable deaths are excluded.
So we've always called Rwanda a genocide, but this is not allowed to be called a genocide because if you do that, that's a blood libel, says Mark Levin, I think.
So the army database says 83% of the Gaza dead were civilians, a proportion of civilian slaughter that has few parallels even in modern time where it has now become relatively acceptable to target civilians in civilian areas.
Israeli forces killed four aid seekers near Gaza City.
So a hospital and witnesses.
These were people who were trying to get food.
Israeli forces killed them.
kill them as they were traveling through a military zone south of Gaza City, and the deaths add to the growing toll of Palestinians killed while seeking food as parts of the Gaza Strip plunge into famine, and Israel's military camps up activity in northern Gaza ahead of a planned offensive to seize the largest city there.
A New Hampshire Democrat who also appeared Sunday on Face the Nation said that the Israeli blockade in Gaza is quote, a shameful black mark on humanity, that the world has allowed this to happen, and that Israel is allowing this to happen.
Netanyahu is the point at which the obstruction is happening, she said.
He needs to look at what he is doing and change his position.
The four Palestinians were killed when troops opened fire on a crowd that was headed to a site run by the Israeli-backed American contractor, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, or GHF.
It occurred hundreds of meters away from the site, said eyewitnesses.
The gunfire was indiscriminate.
They said the shooting happened while many people fled.
Some people fell to the ground after being shot.
The Israeli military and GHF did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Since GHF first began operating nearly three months ago, the UN says hundreds of Palestinians have been shot and killed by Israeli defense forces and foreign military contractors at or near its aid sites.
And we've had one former Marine who is working for GHF as a contractor has gone on record talking about the murder of civilians who are trying to get food, that he saw it happening all the time.
Of course, we've had a lot of doctors who have volunteered to help people talk about not just a double tap strike with bombing or missiles on a hospital, but double tap strikes on children.
Physicians say they were shot once in the chest and then while they were down they hit him a second time in the head to make sure they were dead and these were children.
More than two thousand Palestinians have been killed, more than thirteen thousand five hundred wounded while seeking aid at food distribution points or along the convoy routes used by the UN and other aid groups according to Gaza's health ministry that is there.
Well, again, Netanyahu is winning in Gaza, but he is losing public opinion in the West.
And this is why they are pushing so hard to destroy our First Amendment and using Trump to do it.
And of course, Trump has no respect for the First Amendment.
It's simply about the tribal politics that he supports.
We are going to, I do want to do some of the comments before we take a break.
Talk about college students censoring themselves.
Nibiru 2029, 1970s, all the unemployable college Marxist graduates went into teaching and politics.
I think so.
I think many of them got jobs at USF.
Those degrees are only good for indoctrinating the next generation of people.
Dugalug, playing the game to get good grades.
And then you got to play the game to keep your job and you got to play the game.
and play the game and play the game.
Doug de 007, if you want to pass your classes, you have to give the right answers, quote unquote.
Or the left answers.
The left is right.
Brian Deb McCartney, blood thinners are toxic and do not address the issue.
That's right.
Audi MRR, soon Americans are going to see that the U.S. military's existence is not about protecting us, but occupying us permanently.
Yes.
Knights of the Storm, that bruise from him backhanding the First Amendment.
That's good, I like that.
Good, Jason, yeah.
Don't frag me, bro.
The U.S. government will use World War III is a meat grinder to get rid of more men that might push back and organize a revolution.
World Wars were just, as you said, a meat grinder.
They got rid of a lot of very good fighting stock of Europe and a lot of people that would have stood up and said no.
When all else fails, they take you to war, as Gerald Sunti always says.
Trends Research and trendsjournal trendsjournal dot com, I think it is.
Promote Code Knight for 10%.
Both of them take you to the same place, but yeah.
Code Knight saved 10%.
Neabiru 2029, changing the title to War Department in preparation for Trump's war with China, beginning in 2027.
Maybe we can have another boxer rebellion.
Brian Deb McCartney, bloodthinner's.
The whole defense department thing was aspirational at best.
At best.
But is it a good thing that they're no longer playing lip service to us being the good guys that are just defending ourselves?
You know what?
No, just the war department.
Now if we can get rid of the authorities?
Now if we can get rid of this term national security that they've used as a magic incantation to do every criminal, unconstitutional, secretive thing that they can imagine.
No more defense, only war.
Angry Tiger's Den, Israel has become a monster that the US feeds purely.
devilish.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah, we become the monsters that we fight, don't we?
I mean, it's amazing to see them enacting the same policies that the Nazis did.
And so callously, yeah.
Carelessly, completely unfeeling.
Assyrian girl, I believe Netanyahu is facing corruption charges if he stops being president.
And according to Israeli law, you can't get rid of a wartime president.
So we can expect war for the rest of Netanyahu's life.
Yeah.
Well, that's been the plan for a long time.
Yeah.
When you see all the countries they want to invade and take over destabilized.
Oh yeah.
No, he's been going after Iran forever.
And if you want a permanent war, go after Iran.
You'll never subdue an area that size and a people that has a level of advancement that they do.
Don't frag me, bro.
Radio Shack used to have everything you need to build a remotely activated IED.
well, you know.
You learn something new every day.
Don't go building IEDs, folks.
Audi MRR, the journalist who wrote the article on the starving children of Gaza, was directly targeted and killed by Israel.
Yeah.
Yeah, we got to get rid of those bots.
Everybody is a bot if they don't say what Netanyahu wants them to say.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
The common man.
They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created Common Past to track and control us.
Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
and the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
