Israelis Debate 'Whether Newborn Babies in Gaza Are Innocent or Should be Killed'
• By Chris MenahanParsi shared a clip from March 15th showing Moshe Ya'alon debating with Channel 13 hosts Eyal Berkovic and Moriah Asraf on whether Israel should kill babies.
Berkovic argued that there are no innocents in Gaza because "everyone is a terrorist."
Ya'alon said the IDF should not be sent into Gaza "with the purpose to kill everyone" -- to which Berkovic fired back, "so the nation disagrees with you! The nation disagrees with you!"
Berkovic insisted that "Gaza should be wiped out."
Asraf, meanwhile, tried to scold Ya'alon for saying Israel tells soldiers to target babies.
"Do you think the current Israeli government is sending the Israeli soldiers to kill babies in Gaza?" Asraf asked.
"I think that the moment that rabbis talk about how there are no innocents in Gaza ... and Smotrich and Ben Gvir talk about evacuating, thinning out the population so that Gaza will be clear of Arabs, that we'll settle Jews in their stead, that's not a goal of a war of a country I want to live in."
"Okay, we disagree!" Berkovic fired back.
As Ya'alon noted, top Israeli rabbis have explicitly said that the Torah demands the killing of Palestinian babies.
