Okay, Satan. I agree. Let's go for the big one, the big magilla. It's Satan, okay? Overwhelmingly nonviolent. resembled at the beginning the first intifada. They threw bombs here and there. Okay, not bombs. They tried to make holes in the fence, obviously. Let's continue.
Okay, so... As you know, along the Gaza perimeter, there was Israel's best-trained snipers. Correct? I don't know best-trained. They were snipers. Fine. Sniper. Okay. All right. Because, hey, laugh. It's hilarious. The story is so funny.
Even the UN says it themselves.
But you only collect what the UN says that you like. You see, the problem, Mr. Morelli, is you don't know the English language.
Talk fast. People think that you're coherent.
Yeah, but you see... I know you like them sometimes. Only when they agree with you, though. You got the months wrong. You got the months wrong. We're talking about the beginning in March 30th, 2018. You just described that March as mostly peaceful. Okay, allow me to finish. So there were the snipers, okay? Now, you find it so far-fetched Israelis... Purposely, deliberately targeting civilians?
That's such a far-fetched idea. An overwhelmingly non-violent march. What did the international investigation... It was a campaign. Whatever you want to call it. For months. Whatever you want to call it. For months. Yeah. What did the UN investigation find? Well, he just read it to you. I read the report. I don't read things off of those machines. I read the report. What did it find?
Brace yourself. You thought it was so funny, the idea of IDF targeting civilians. It found, go look this up on your machine.
Targeted children, targeted journalists. targeted medics, and here's the funniest one of all. It's so hilarious. They targeted disabled people who were 300 meters away from the fence and just standing by trees. This is true. If what you're saying is true.
That it's impossible at the command level. It's impossible at the command level. But you said that they couldn't have done it at the bottom if it weren't also at the top.
It's true. It's true. I don't spend my nights on Wikipedia. I read books. I admit that as a signal. I know books are a waste of time with all due regard. There are two or three quotes that you use. I completely respect the fact And I'll say it on the air, as much as I find totally disgusting what's come of your politics, a lot of the books are excellent.
And I'll even tell you, because I'm not afraid of saying it, whenever I have to check on a basic fact, the equivalent of going to the Britannica, I go to your books. I know you got a lot of the facts right.
I would never say books are a waste of time. And it's regrettable to you that you got strapped with a partner who thinks that all the wisdom, all the wisdom.
And if that's the case, why is it only, only? Professor Morris, here's a question for you. If we take every combat zone in the world for the past three years, every combat zone in the world. In Vietnam, the Americans killed a million people. I'm not talking about Vietnam. Well, they could have killed 40 million. Yeah, I was in the anti-war movement. So don't strap me.
The Americans killed a million people in Vietnam. Fine, fine. And 30 million Russians were killed during World War II, so everything else is irrelevant. Okay.
Professor Mars, here's a question. It's very perplexing. If you take every combat zone in the world for the past three years and you multiply the number of children killed by four, every combat zone in the world, you get gossip. Okay? What is that supposed to prove? Okay, I'm going to tell you. Just shut up. You're relying on Hamas numbers. No, I'm not relying.
I'm relying on the numbers that everybody else. I'm relying on the numbers.
Okay.
They could invent anything because you know that they are a mendacious organization. I know mendacious. Believe me. Mendacious as in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Okay. So here's the thing. You say they could have killed 500,000, but they only killed 30,000.
Professor Morris. For a historian, I don't want to understand Israeli society. You want to know the truth. I don't want to. I don't want to get inside their heads. That's the problem.
