The man in this clip is Doctor Ezeldeen Abu Al-aish who trained in an Israeli hospital and believes in Arab-Israeli co-existence. He is actually an outspoken critic of Hamas.

He was calling into News Channel 10 and reporting on daily events on the ground live on the air.

He was a Palestinian who chose to work for Israel, and the IDF killed his daughters. The IDF claimed there was sniper fire coming from his house, later they claimed it was coming "from the area", later again they said the matter was "under investigation".

This is an important video. The poster shares this view, albeit for different reasons. They either misunderstood the video, or are intentionally misrepresenting its content.

The doctor is, despite the recent violent death and maiming of his family, calling for peace and reconciliation between Israel and the Palestinians. His life has been ruined, his future ripped apart, but he's calling for understanding, not vengeance.

The woman states that her son is in the army. She does not indicate that he was killed or wounded, but simply that he is in the army. She tells the doctor that the destruction of his family was his own fault, because he must have been storing arms there. She knows that he must have been storing arms there, because his house was hit by two shells.

End of argument: no evidence, no gotcha moment; she does not call him out. Simple logic: anti-terrorist weapons killed your children, therefore your children must have been terrorists.

Pprt: maybe you'll watch the video again carefully and reconsider it.

You're very correct Hibernian, thanks for pointing it out. I've modified the video title accordingly. She didn't say her son was killed, only that he was in the Army.

Just to clarify, this is a Palestinian Doctor who is very reasonable in regards to a peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis. He has been living in Israel for some time.

Last week, his family home in Gaza was struck by Israeli shell. The casualties were promptly transported to an Israeli hospital, but he lost 4 family members in the hit (see here for a report). The second part of this video is an Israeli citizen accusing his family of harbouring weaponry or participating in attacks against the IDF.

^ Big of you to say that. Honestly. Thank you.

Moving this video to Pprt's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
