Ambassador Leiter: My own son was killed because we do not kill innocent civilians.
Israel National News. ^ | Aug 29, 2025

Posted on 08/28/2025 8:07:52 PM PDT by Words Matter

In an interview with CNN, Ambassador Yechiel Leiter says his son was killed in Gaza because Israel avoids harming civilians: “If we were doing what we're accused of, maybe he'd be alive today.”

Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, was interviewed by CNN’s Jake Tapper, underscoring the unprecedented challenges the IDF faces and the moral calculus guiding its operations.

“You got to ask yourself a question,” Leiter said. “A country that's capable of taking out the control of all of Iranian airspace in 72 hours, allowing for the B-2s of the United States to come in and obliterate the nuclear weapons operations in Iran, is not capable of ending this war sooner? Of course we are. But it's because we're taking precautions that no other country has ever taken, had to face a situation of 450 miles of terror tunnels under an area that's 24 miles long.”

On October 8, 2023, there should have been a massive attack for a few days on any Hamas linked structure.

Just like every war, it takes a civilian population to support an army.
Total war is the way to go!
They destroyed most all the surface structures,
now flood the tunnels.
We all know how to kill ants.

Israel could have bombed to death hundreds of thousands of fakestinians on the civilian corridors for refugees.

They didn’t.

That would have been like shooting fish in a barrel.

Proving Israelnis not intent on genocide. It would be very easy.

The population of Gaza is still growing. That doesn’t happen during a genocide, pros beyond a doubt that Israel is taking great care not to inflict needless casualties. These accusations of genocide are just a modern version of the ancient blood libel against the Jews.

You can’t trust the media, especially when they go all out to lie and protect Israel......just like when they covered for them murdering our sailors on the USS Liberty.

I was thinking about that some time back. It makes a lot more sense if Israel had caught the USA passing intelligence to Egypt during that war. Then the ship had become a combatant and thus a legitimate target.

The USA was not as closely aligned with Israel as it was after the start of the Yom Kippur War.

Exactly. Had Israel for one day not be careful. What would be left of 1.5 million Gazans?
