This old man lives in an alternate universe. Israel does all the damage and then conveniently scapegoats Hamas as causing the damage to its own people.
Him saying that 'here and there may have been mistakes' almost makes me throw up. When you drop a 2000 lbs bomb, in an urban area, you accept, allow and are okay with massive casualties. And this human shield defense is ridiculous - how much of a human shield can a person be if Israel bombs them regardless of whether they're there or not? Israel doesn't give a damn about human shields. If they did, they wouldn't bomb indiscriminately.
What do you think would be the real numbers of dead Gazans if Israel would indeed bomb indiscriminately? Why do you automatically believe the hamas numbers?
Thought experiment for Israelis If Hamas were hiding in tunnels under say Haifa would the casualty rate of Israelis under the bombing be greater or less than it is now for?Gazans? Is the HANNIBAL DIRECTIVE BEEN rescinded or is still in force? What is the purpose of destroying apartment blocks in Gaza if as israelis claim warning is given by leaflets and bomblets? Won't any Hamas operatives in the block also get the warning and escape also?
No he wants to destroy Hamas and keep Israel safe. It was the same in WW2 when the allies wanted the complete surrender of Germany. The Allies then denazified the German people. Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank need similar. FYI the Arabs have rejected a 2 state solution on numerous occasions, most recently Abbas rejected a 2 state solution. Hamas will be defeated UNRWA will be defunded and will end The Palestinian Authority will also end
Yeah I'm sure it has nothing to do with hamas saying they will not surrender, stay in power, want israel to rebuild gaza and release all their terrorist friends
This is Netanyahu's plan. Netanyahu's goal is to drive all Palestinians off Palestinian land and then take it. On September 22nd, 2023 at the UN he showed a map where all Palestinian land was Israeli land and told the UN that was his goal.
Israel's goal has never been to reach a fair agreement. The goal of a greater Israel is likely the reason a ceasefire is rejected. The world would hold Israel accountable for taking more territory.
Non-sense. Israel offered 90 days ceasefire if Hamas will release Israeli hostages. Hamas rejected and offered 135 days ceasefire but will release Israeli hostages gradually.
This is Netanyahu's plan. Netanyahu's goal is to drive all Palestinians off Palestinian land and then take it. On September 22nd, 2023 at the UN he showed a map where all Palestinian land was Israeli land and told the UN that was his goal.
Mr. Sebastian what a nice surprise to see you on DW. I was an eddict to your famous HARD TALKS at the bbc. Good to note that this interview has still a bit of the fire of those programmes. But then, the times ARE ACHANGING, so is the bbc. Wish you good health in 2024
I am sorry for your frustrations but Its just all your narratives are not convincing for the whole world and that is not going to change. You see that everywhere if you open your eyes.
You call it lies because it don’t fit your narrative. Sometimes the truth is hard, and I wouldn’t suggest you to disrespect a chief of one of the best intelligence agencies in the world
@@nubtube7313 Israel HAS blocked aid to Gaza and HAS been using 2,000 lb bombs in densely populated areas. There have been investigations by that have shown no military value to many of these bombings. There were no babies cut out of wombs. Rape claims are still simply second hand. The hostages are mostly at risk to Israeli bombs. There have been war plans to push the popualtion into the Sinai (Egypt). There is very little truth in his statements on the current situation.
@@wigglewiggle4218 Google will allow you to see that the r-pe stories have little evidence; that the claims if babies cut out were false, that Israel did prevent and still limits food and aide; that the indiscriminate bombing was of targets with limited or no military value, including very recent NYT story (not to mention the wholsale destructions of the civilian infrastructure to make it unlivable) and plans to push Gazans into Egyptian Sinai. He lied about most of the current war.
He is actually not. He asks him tough questions but lets him spread the lies about the war crimes, the actions by H group, the punishment of civilians. He purposely gives him outs. It is a common military public affairs strategy. It just seems as if he is pushing. He gives him all the charges by the ppl , media and court and let’s him spin it his way, so that the intelligence officer can refute with a reasonable explanation. It seems open but is actually scripted.
Ehh no. Not even a mention of the South African case against them at the ICC. No, no the most damaging accusation was dementia Joe rambling about indiscriminate bombings in September. He was very, very kind to the old spy chief,
@@kockleongng908 I don't think he was restrained here, he asked relevant quesions, quoted facts, casualty figures, ICJ ruling, opinions of human rights groups etc. We, the viewers, got to see first hand that mr. Halevy was dodging the questions, making excuses, not answering on the topic and basically he discredited himself and Israel's position. As for the interviewer, it is his role to ask hard and significant questions to all his quests, that inclused Israel, Iran and Russia. All three are responsible for terrible crimes too, so it is a good thing to ask them hard questions.
What the freak was he rambling on about. Here and there … a certain event… by and large careful… what is he smoking… As a combat vet there is no such thing as a mistake. Chances are slim. Every building is mapped and numbered. Every building you want to flatten you call out the number. 2000 pounds were never used by us. Their radius of damage would be too huge in a city. In Mossul we called in 5 air strikes. They do not use the guidance we sent them. Why? We sent a shipment of Jdam to them. He continues to compare their force with a non conventional force but regardless they still fall under humanitarian laws. They have committed countless self documented war crimes. It is most certainly revenge. Nothing of their military campaign screams COIN to me. Willful destruction of buildings with explosives. The cut out womb story has been debunked. A few questions come to mind: Why is he not pressing him on the debunked stories instead of letting him reiterate his debunked talking points. Why talk to a certified liar(intelligence officer)? The answer is: Because it’s a targeted disinformation campaign veiled as “good journalism”. Public affairs. Change the narrative. This interview is a set up. The journalist even gave him a way out by demonizing H group, but senior citizen didn’t catch on and still blamed al the Palestinians. A war crime. A friend of mine, a retired General is of the same opinion as me and has verbalized his position. It’s a war crime and a henozeid.
what were the civilian casualty/combatant ratios in urban wars you fought? let me guess, you dont know? otherwise, you wouldn't be typing this nonsense
Did we watch the same interview? Tim Sebastian presented the interviewee with facts, number of casualties, accusations of crimes from human rights organisations etc. to which mr. Halevy responded with excuses and dodging. If anything this interview has shown everyone that mr. Halevy's position, and by extention the whole Israeli war on Gaza, is completely indefensible. So what targeted disinformation campaign are you talking about, against Israel?
Thank you for giving your opinion from a combat vet point of view. It’s very valuable. We can all see the war crimes and genocide being committed before our eyes. It is plain to see. And it’s helpful to hear that someone who served in the military sees the same thing.
Efraim Halevy! "Here and there things happen!" Like 35,000 Palestinians killed, like 13,000 Palestinian children killed, like 67,000 Palestinians wounded, like 2 million Palestinians displaced! Here and there things happen!
You should believe in the videos that hamas recorded themselves on oct. 7 and realize that it cannot be allowed to continue. You can criticize military strategies all you want, but the fact remains something needs to be done about hamas, if you think you can do better than IDF, you are probably delusional though, unless you happen to be in special forces of few better militaries
@@vytasffbismarck7001 The problem ALWAYS starts with the occupier, not the occupied. This is no different. Remove the occupation, you will remove the threat.
What is wrong with Sebastian? Usually he invites people on to gratuitously insult them. Here he so polite and respectful to a war criminal. He lets this guy lie without interruption whereas his usual bent is to interrupt his guest and not let them explain their position. There have been articles on Israel's support for Hamas for years. The earliest I found was from WAPO in 2014. A couple of years Ehud Barak admitted it. Last year there were dozens of articles about it. Yet it seems DW just discovered it.
But this interview shows exactly what the truth is. Sebastian presents mr. Halevy with facts, number of casualties, opinions from human rights organistations etc. and all he gets in response is excuses and doging the questions. It is plain for all the viewers to see, that Israeli war on Gaza is indefensible and that Israeli government's position is weaker every day that this atrocious conflict continues. You don't have to insult your inverviewees to expose their lying or hypocrisy.
I dislike his lies and everything else about him, the only thing I like is that he'll live long enough to see all his life's evil works be undone...the world has seen the truth

Halevy is a patriot and would never say anything to undermine Israel - however, he is no friend of Netanyahu and in the Israeli media has been very outspoken (given his former and current position) criticizing the Likud coalition government.

@@marceloeguinoThey couldn’t afford to go for long if we stopped letting them Access our depot in Iz. There are several factors that will affect them not just missiles. Once the USA backs out so will Europe. They do not have the capacity to resupply their dwindling ammo stock unless they change their industry into production of ordinances. They do not have the resources (raw materials) to create the amount of ammunition needed. Imagine this: a huge walmart and you can go and pick all the supplies you need and it’s all free as you walk out the door the lady at the register hands you money to make sure you make it home and you’ll get you some dinner…Thats the USA. If the USA stops that. You willing only have to pay for your ammo, you will also pay for the 300,000 soldiers and their dependents. They have to eat and pay bills. While the army is mobilized your economy is crippled. You are taking other hits economically too. The wounded soldiers will make a dent too and will become veterans on disability. The USA is a nation of 330 million. During our wars we had about 1 million active and reserve. That’s doable for us, but it still set us back 8 trillion. I repeat 8 trillion. If the USA pulls out then Iz is in a whole lot of isht. Anyone saying differently has never served in a command position.
@@constantquestioning4010 You are incorrect. The court did not find gennoacide but instead said they must avoid it. You and others hear what you want. Shame on you after everything-that Israel has to deal with that you just won’t acknowledge 😒
How can he justify blaming Gaza for being responsible for Hamas @17:29 when in his next breath admits to helping fund Hamas and enable its ability to maintain control over Gaza @19:34.
If Gaza civilian population is responsible for the action of Hamas(the political party that rules Gaza) Than does that mean that the Israeli civilians are also responsible for what Israeli government and IDF are doing And ICJ said is a plausible genocide case that they are doing
Shame on you sir, shame on you. Let the international agencies in to see the extent of destruction and human loss and suffering then if you are claiming we have wrong facts
This old man is got to be the worst choice for representing and speaking about Israel's actions. You can tell he clearly memorized a script of what to say and almost went into robot repetitive mode. How sad
Efraim is so clear, honest, even-handed or fair and so authentic (generation before widespread social media PR fakeness) sharing his misgivings where he sees them without vitriol, and ending in pragmatic hopeful approach. Great interview and I can see why he was the head of the Mossad... very even-keeled.
Correct , and it is also not our EU job to feed you with huge funds, coming from our hard earned money , and new arms. Sort it out on your own , like you say Gazans should do
You would think a former mossad would be able to lie properly. Watch his body WATCH HIS FEET WHEN HE LIES! He is so transparent! His body language tells the truth 😂😂😂
I just don't understand why the world is prepared to accept this idea of human shields...hamas is an armed resistance group(not an army)..it operates in a totally sealed area whose borders are controlled by Israel and Egypt....hamas lives amongst the population and the siege ongoing for so many years has led to the construction if tunnels etc...they don't have tanks or air fire to hide behind...this interview was unfortunately not as horrifying as it should have been...Israel creates it's own false narrative to justify it's oppression and occupation and war crimes there is no war in Gaza...war is between two or more armies...this is not the case in Gaza ...this is genocide....Israel is trying to execute as many Palestinians as possible and this man in his cultivated British accent spouted so many lies. .much of what he said abt the terrible events on Oct 7th have already been shown to be false.
@@deans5086 perhaps, and in that respect you are correct. However, if you want to build a case against the brutality of the terrorists, it’s quite convenient to erase the memory of your own.
Tim is being obtuse... as he clearly recognizes...the Arab Gazan's and the PLA have had since 2006 to correct this situation. Now no one else except Israel will confront Hamas... and Hezbollah...their patience has run out...along with the majority of anyone paying attention...
Why can't BOTH be true? It may seem a small point to you but the reality is that it is Hamas that is responsible for starving the population. I can't think of any other nation on the planet that the world would demand to feed and provide fuel for the enemy they are fighting. NO ONE else would have such a demand made of them. Most nations wouldn't even care if they were killing civilians, especially if there was proof that 80+ percent of them supported and agreed with the enemy that nation was fighting.
Not true , aid tracks are going , but Hamas takes it takes the most of it, by the way, how many food trucks England let Germans have when they were fighting the Germans ? The opposite England was blockading Germany , trying to prevent supplies to get to Germany .
What a shame to follow what is presented as an interview, which is more of a politically correct way of parroting the usual opinion of fronting media today. Most people who decide to express their opinion on the Israel vs Hamas war, approach the subject as if the state of Israel just got up one day and decided to devastate Gaza. Hama. Launched a devastating attack on the State of Israel on the 7th of October. No country in the world would have sat back and swallow such an affliction on her people without fighting back. Most of those conderming Israel today would do even worse than what Israel is doing in Gaza.
how will European Imperialist respond if their citizens were captured like Hamas did it easy to criticize Israel yet arabs if they were in power would have done worse

Well, you can’t compare intellect of Halevi to Sebastian’s . Sebastian only a journalist, Halevi was a head of Mossad . How can you compare the responsibility and pressure of Halevi’s job to a job of a Journalist. Plus, before he became a head of Mossad he was himself involved in highly risky operations not once and not twice . In life there are those that do, and there are those who talk .
The IC provisional order in such a short time and its order to Israel to report back in a month was historic and shows nothing but the seriousness of Israel's situation.
All the questions about the Palestinian suffer. Nothing about suffering of families of those who were murdered or kidnapped and hundreds of thousands of Israelis who can't get back to they homes because of war.
Not intended ??? 30000 killed ?? what utter rubbish.
Most of the 30000 are Hamas operatives . Hamas doesn’t wear uniforms , so you can call the civillians? Who are you kidding ?
Listening to this man was infuriating, denials and excuses for every damn thing.
He knows nothing,
He is Mossad . like the CIA they are trained to lie.

If the USA stops that. You willing only have to pay for your ammo, you will also pay for the 300,000 soldiers and their dependents. They have to eat and pay bills. While the army is mobilized your economy is crippled. You are taking other hits economically too. The wounded soldiers will make a dent too and will become veterans on disability. The USA is a nation of 330 million. During our wars we had about 1 million active and reserve. That’s doable for us, but it still set us back 8 trillion. I repeat 8 trillion.
If the USA pulls out then Iz is in a whole lot of isht. Anyone saying differently has never served in a command position.
Israel make billions from selling arms to other countries , so don’t worry
Somebody arrest this man
His Lies are astonishing, the Man's another Netanyahu.
Which lies
Israel must never give up no matter how long it takes. Israel should not accept anything than victory.
Yes exactly 👍🇮🇱♥️
Anyone who gave money to help Palestinians in Gaza, helped Hamas as they stole it.
Disgraceful lies and complicity in genocide recognized by the International Criminal Court before the entire world community
Shame on you
@@constantquestioning4010 You are incorrect. The court did not find gennoacide but instead said they must avoid it. You and others hear what you want. Shame on you after everything-that Israel has to deal with that you just won’t acknowledge 😒
Obviously the gentleman speaking didn’t listen to the Israel government when they said it will take a long time.
Never forget, Germany is complicit in this, with its unwavering support of Israel, its third time at genocide.
Not only Germany is complicit. US leaders of course and a some European leaders too
As a single dad for two teen age girls, I think the war is sad.
Who asked?
@@kynanverwimp847who asked for your response, dofus.
Stop all aid to Hamas
How can he justify blaming Gaza for being responsible for Hamas @17:29 when in his next breath admits to helping fund Hamas and enable its ability to maintain control over Gaza @19:34.
He’s allowed to say anything ✡️ he’s there bosses
Agree💯
It hurt him to say that because it shows thier true colors
If they wouldn’t let money into Gaza the population will suffer and you would still blame Israel.
If Gaza civilian population is responsible for the action of Hamas(the political party that rules Gaza)
Than does that mean that the Israeli civilians are also responsible for what Israeli government and IDF are doing
And ICJ said is a plausible genocide case that they are doing
Sebastian, you need a course in military history.
Shame on you sir, shame on you. Let the international agencies in to see the extent of destruction and human loss and suffering then if you are claiming we have wrong facts
The music going so hard when they're two old men at the end was crazy.
He is reasonable talking. ❤
This old man is got to be the worst choice for representing and speaking about Israel's actions.
You can tell he clearly memorized a script of what to say and almost went into robot repetitive mode.
How sad
Efraim is so clear, honest, even-handed or fair and so authentic (generation before widespread social media PR fakeness) sharing his misgivings where he sees them without vitriol, and ending in pragmatic hopeful approach. Great interview and I can see why he was the head of the Mossad... very even-keeled.
Very good interview it is the least aggressive interview that Tim sebastian has done in terms of tone and body language with any Israeli
The same as always. Never accountability for perpetrations, always the victim.
Wasn’t Hamas that killed youngsters on the festival ? Do you think they are not victims
The whole thing is like a gigantic circular firing squad were no one ever wins. This clearly will go on through our lifetime 😮
Correct , and it is also not our EU job to feed you with huge funds, coming from our hard earned money , and new arms. Sort it out on your own , like you say Gazans should do
This man is a professional liar🤦♂️
So cold and heartless
the same Ziunist speech that we have heard for years, and it is always civil war, apartheid and ethnic/religion supremacy against Palestinians
Repeat a lie again and again and you will begin to believe it is the truth!!
You would think a former mossad would be able to lie properly. Watch his body WATCH HIS FEET WHEN HE LIES! He is so transparent! His body language tells the truth 😂😂😂
It feels like Mr. Sebastian is badgering the guest.
I just don't understand why the world is prepared to accept this idea of human shields...hamas is an armed resistance group(not an army)..it operates in a totally sealed area whose borders are controlled by Israel and Egypt....hamas lives amongst the population and the siege ongoing for so many years has led to the construction if tunnels etc...they don't have tanks or air fire to hide behind...this interview was unfortunately not as horrifying as it should have been...Israel creates it's own false narrative to justify it's oppression and occupation and war crimes there is no war in Gaza...war is between two or more armies...this is not the case in Gaza ...this is genocide....Israel is trying to execute as many Palestinians as possible and this man in his cultivated British accent spouted so many lies. .much of what he said abt the terrible events on Oct 7th have already been shown to be false.
Certainly he has conveniently forgotten about Deir Yassin
Deir Yassin has nothing to do with what is happening now.
@@deans5086 perhaps, and in that respect you are correct. However, if you want to build a case against the brutality of the terrorists, it’s quite convenient to erase the memory of your own.
Oh, they'll raise the white flag alright. They're already thinking about it.
Tim is being obtuse... as he clearly recognizes...the Arab Gazan's and the PLA have had since 2006 to correct this situation. Now no one else except Israel will confront Hamas... and Hezbollah...their patience has run out...along with the majority of anyone paying attention...
Bruh. This guy just said Israel isn't starving the population, but also, they won't bring in food because Hamas would take it. Which one is it?
Call the UN, they are probably waiting for your call…….
Why can't BOTH be true? It may seem a small point to you but the reality is that it is Hamas that is responsible for starving the population. I can't think of any other nation on the planet that the world would demand to feed and provide fuel for the enemy they are fighting. NO ONE else would have such a demand made of them. Most nations wouldn't even care if they were killing civilians, especially if there was proof that 80+ percent of them supported and agreed with the enemy that nation was fighting.
@@bkh8528 Wut
Your people under idf guidence stopped the aid trucks entering in to gaza!!
Not true , aid tracks are going , but Hamas takes it takes the most of it, by the way, how many food trucks England let Germans have when they were fighting the Germans ? The opposite England was blockading Germany , trying to prevent supplies to get to Germany .
Maybe Mr.Efraim Halevy should read "The Hundred Years war on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi
What a shame to follow what is presented as an interview, which is more of a politically correct way of parroting the usual opinion of fronting media today. Most people who decide to express their opinion on the Israel vs Hamas war, approach the subject as if the state of Israel just got up one day and decided to devastate Gaza. Hama. Launched a devastating attack on the State of Israel on the 7th of October. No country in the world would have sat back and swallow such an affliction on her people without fighting back. Most of those conderming Israel today would do even worse than what Israel is doing in Gaza.
TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT...
One positive thing is he is for 2 state solution!
When he knows fully well that that’s not going to happen.
@@vivek1raja Then they will lieve, like British left India & French Algeria !
how will European Imperialist respond if their citizens were captured like Hamas did it easy to criticize Israel yet arabs if they were in power would have done worse
This old man full of lies
Namaskar 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rank 111 Hunger Index Indians queuing in long lines for Jobs in Israel as the war with Hamas grinds on say the risks to their safety are preferable to Hunger at home.
"If it is written in our fate to d!e, we'll d!e there -- at least our kids will get something," said motorbike mechanic Jabbar Singh, among the packed crowd at a training centre and recruitment site in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh state. "It's better than hunger here." 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sounds like the 30 thousand hamas combatants are eating all the food destined for the 2.3 million Palestinians. Positively dastardly.
Netenyahu will never stop. Someone either stops him, or expects 2 million "casualties".
Why give this man a platform to repeat the same old rhetoric
I'll save you, dear viewer time. If you want to engage with a prick. You'll learn more and have a better day having a handshake with a cactus.
Sickenjng..
Talking to a AI 🥹
Tim Sebastian fails to bully Halevy who outsmarted and outclassed him
Well, you can’t compare intellect of Halevi to Sebastian’s
. Sebastian only a journalist, Halevi was a head of Mossad . How can you compare the responsibility and pressure of Halevi’s job to a job of a Journalist.
Plus, before he became a head of Mossad he was himself involved in highly risky operations not once and not twice .
In life there are those that do, and there are those who talk .
Intelect of Halevy ? using the debunked lies ?
Pure evil in his heart!
This is softball interview, listening to an old man ramble lies without any push back.but anyway he tried to act like his grilling him 😂
Ask the Americans if they crushed the Taliban?
The IC provisional order in such a short time and its order to Israel to report back in a month was historic and shows nothing but the seriousness of Israel's situation.
Rubbish, it was nothing . They did not say israel should stop the war,
Does he really believe in what he is saying?
All the questions about the Palestinian suffer. Nothing about suffering of families of those who were murdered or kidnapped and hundreds of thousands of Israelis who can't get back to they homes because of war.
You should NOT allow them to keep talking about WAR,there are no other soldiers,only women and children..
