ISRAEL AVOIDING CIVILIAN CASUALTIES “IS A BLUNT LIE!”
March 17, 2024
Israel’s former foreign minister of Israel, Tzipi Livni says it’s doing everything it can to avoid civilian casualties. However, one of its former military commanders says that’s a “BLUNT LIE!”
Watch this excerpt from the Four Corners documentary, ‘The Forever War’, where ABC Global Affairs Editor, John Lyons, interviews Livni and former IDF Commander, Yehua Shaul, amongst others, to provide some insight into why Israel has mercilessly given the green light to its military to slaughter more than 31,000 Palestinian civilians and injured over 72,000, as well as totally destroying all infrastructure in Gaza.

English Script:
Yehuda Shaul: But the IDF is doing everything to avoid civilian casualties is a blunt lie.
John Lyons: Why did Israel need to kill so many people in Gaza?
Tzipi Livni: We never target civilians.
John Lyons: You may not be targeting them, but they’re dying in their tens of thousands.
Tzipi Livni: Because they live or those that control their life are these terrorists that are exploiting their existence.
John Lyons: Israel’s dropping the bombs.
Tzipi Livni: We have no other alternative. We are trying to avoid. We are targeting with bombs, places where the terror is. Unfortunately, they are there. If the army can prove that this is a legitimate… target, it is.
Yehuda Shaul: Theoretically, it’s possible to bomb thousands of legitimate targets. What matters is the devil’s in the details. So, we are told that every target we strike is a legitimate target under international humanitarian law and is based on, you know, clear cut, you know, double checked verified intelligence.
And when we strike, we do it in a surgical manner in a way, while taking all precautions to minimize the civilian casualties.
John Lyons: Yeah, but that is not the case.
Yehuda Shaul: Then the question is proportionality. I have no doubt that after October seven, they’ve loosened some of the restraints, some of the restrictions they had from previous wars. What exactly? We don’t really know.
