A week into the Israel-Hamas conflict, IDF spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner tells Sangita Myska that Israel is 'changing the rules of the game' as she questions him on whether they are breaking international law with their siege on Gaza.

this woman has been epic. ive never watched much LBC but spotted this and couldnt believe someone in the media actually asking difficult questions and making sure the question gets answered and not sidestepped. well done LBC, give this lass a raise for her work on this conflict
I caught another of her interviews she is so well prepared and on the ball. Doesn't let them get away with their bs at all.
²²²²²×annnn
We support you, Sangita. LBC are cowards for taking your show off air. You are one of a few journalists with the integrity to challenge Zionist hasbara.

"If you're not careful, the newspaper/media will have you hating the people who are oppressed, and loving those doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
Brother Malcolm X, was so wise. Look at news regarding immigrants
Never a truer word spoken
When Hamas were elected in 2006 and are heavily armed and have refused further elections , I’m sure you’re referring to Hamas as the oppressors.
If you’re not careful, you’ll fall for the BS every Muslim in the world is spewing right now. 🙄
@@californiadreamin8423absolutely! Look at the testimony of how Hamas treats its political rivals in Gaza: it's terror.
He got pulled into a sense of easy conversation by her calm demeanor then got a jolt of reality when she started asking real questions to the point he is struggling to maintain composure by the end. And it wasnt even a cheap 'Gotcha Moment' she was simply using his answers to narrow the scope of her questions. No matter your opinion on this conflict, this right here is a masterclass on how to conduct a journalistic interview.
So well said - 💯 correct- she’s a tiger
I loved how she handled the interview and was listening properly to what he was saying and immediately questioned his answers, more journalists need to be asking questions like this.
Basically, what they're saying us "we're going to level the place and reduce it to rubble. If you can get out, get out. If you cant, then you can just become part of the rubble."
Pretty much.

From being oppressed to being the oppressor. 70-80 years have changed everything so much
Hamas is the oppresor in gaza
@@sangil77So Hamas is in control of the open-air prison, is it? Hamas is a direct consequence of the brutal occupation the defenceless Palestinians have been subjected to for the past 75 years.
Without the brutal occupation the Palestinians are subjected to there would be *NO HAMAS!*
End the Apartheid occupation and there would be no need for the existence of Hamas. Hamas has only been around for 35 years I believe. Yet the Apartheid occupation has been going on for the last 75 years.
So how is Hamas the obstacle to peace when before their founding the Palestinians were still under occupation and resisting their occupation?!
People like you are part of the problem and not part of the solution, unfortunately.
@@sangil77Israel is the oppressor in Palestine
@@sangil77no they are the resistance oppressors who blockade Gaza is Israel
@@sangil77still Israel is the oppressor of the Palestinians for a very long time. Gaza is a concentration camp. Just do your research.
What a brilliant interviewer, asking the right questions and not letting them get away without answering them.
Thank you LBC for allowing your reporters ask the hard and difficult questions Because here in the US they seem to be afraid to
Not afraid to. Paid not to. It's disgusting the way this is being covered in the US.
I largely agree, but I have seen some decent stuff on CNN, especially from Jake Tapper and Fareed Zackaria where some awkward questions have been asked.
Where did she asked what alternative Israel has left?
I must have missed that part
The questions were not hard, they where mostly stopid and baiess. Again very not professional by LBC & Sangita.
Yes, she hardly asked any nice, easy to answer, friendly questions
Someone is doing journalism! protect her at all cost.
Thank you Sangita for balanced reporting and fact checking, something that has been sorely lacking this week.
But does Sangita understand that Hamas is seriously afflicted with the pernicious arabic i-virus mental disease?
You can see he is awkward by the truth and his language is one of revenge and oppression , you are doing a great job Sangita in your line of questions , we must be grounded in the truth over this conflict and not get caught up in the narrative from the mainstream media who a banging the pro Israel drum and I speak as one who has a great deal of affection and empathy for those Jews who suffered in the holocaust ...
She puts many American interviewers to shame. I wish journalists were more willing to get to the truth of the matter like Sangita.
Never mention American MSM propaganda with this real journalist… American media died decades ago
You will do a better job
There's not too many American
" journalists "left
It's because msm in America is a business FIRST... that's why they concentrate on the most explosive/ divisive topics... More eyeballs =more $ through advertising! 🤷♀
Applause to LBC..their journalism is kicking the backside out of most everyone.
Does Sangita understand that Hamas is seriously afflicted with the pernicious arabic i-virus mental disease?
she should have asked him if after they have eradicated Hamas those displaced citizens will be allowed back to their homes ;) we all know the answer to that..
Do you?
I'm surprised that country's ain't lining up to take in the refugees even Egypt or iran ....... nothing, not like the Europeans taking in the Ukrainians......
Most likely Israel want to take all Gaza and force the Palestinians to go to Egypt. This is their end game to take more land from Palestine. Not once did any journalist ask which Palestinian authority will replace Hamas and can Israel guarantee they will not permanently occupy Gaza?
Yes, we do. @@mtrinida
@@mtrinidaconsidering the size of Gaza has been shrinking rapidly for decades, I would say it is pretty obvious.

Over? Far from it, I'm afraid.
This reporter is so articulate and asked important questions.
And never once criticised hamas 😂
@@PoldarkGodzilla Assuming that someone is pro-Hamas because they want to end war crimes is so dense. Rational people want the death of civilians on both sides to end. Shutting off water, electricity and food for 2 million people is genocidal behavior. Hamas and the Israeli government both have blood on their hands.
The reporter ask the questions, and the other person who is involved in the situation answers. Nobody cares about reporter opinions
And didn’t listen to the answers without interrupting 😂
@@PoldarkGodzillaand ?
She keeps talking about civilians welfare and he talks about Hamas. It’s obvious he doesn’t care at all and was probably shooting unarmed civilians two years ago on the Great March Back.
Well done Sangita for some real journalism!
Can't believe this line of questioning is allowed.
Never has the phrase “two wrongs don’t make a right” been more appropriate…
I'm not on any side, but, how does Israel realistically defend itself against Hamas if Israel cannot target Hamas because Hamas is using its own people as human shields?
not by collective punishment anyway@@Bailiol
Maybe if mossad and the IDF had being doing there job in the first place this wouldnt have happened unless the attack was allowed on purpose.@@Bailiol
@@Bailiol Sounds like you are on one side. Hamas wouldn't exist without Israel.
@@Bailiol it’s a classic problem of asymmetric warfare. As Mao said: “a terrorist moves through the population like a fish through water”.
Using civilians as shields is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions, but HAMAS are a non state armed group and hence aren’t signatories.
Similarly, using a conventional military response is a blunt instrument. It polarises the population and makes them support the insurgents even more. Bin Laden knew this. He knew the American backlash after 9/11 would do more to gain muslim support for radical islamists then he could ever generate by himself.
As Grandi said “an eye for an eye leaves us both blind” and this bloodbath has its roots in 1917, or even the fall of Masada in 73 AD.
Note that he's too blinded by rage to consider the humanitarian aspect of this war. He might as well have said that "those people are on their own, we have our mission".
Yep
The people of Gaza are paying dearly
He admitted it at the end. " the don't deserve to be fed

Sangita, fantastic journalism, impossible for the interviewees to ignore your questions, well done.
She is intelligent and calm.
Sangita is one of real Journalist left in UK. She is not afraid to ask the real questions and does not back down. A trait that is not present in most Journalists.
Look at him. This is the anger and discomfort of someone who BURNS under the weight of their crimes, so much so that they can’t bear the mention of it and try so hard to conceal it or blame others.
Funny how all these Israelis all have foreign accents that are eradicating Palestinians from their own lands because apparently it belongs to them.

@@afritimmagreed and well said they have a wonderful double standard I wonder what the UK would do if France started firing Random rockets into London and the popped over and started carrying out Viking style raids on thier town
Im totally agreed with. People will get defensive when they did wrongs.
So Israel should just swallow it?
I've noticed the Israelis like to say "Hamas hasn't improved Gaza over the last 20 years", but I imagine that's quite difficult when Gaza gets bombed back to the iron age at least once every Israeli election cycle.
Maybe if Hamas wasn't so obsessed with Israel's destruction and didn't periodically fire barrages of rockets and commit last week's atrocities...
The EU installed water pipes, providing water to Gaza. Hamas dug them up as soon as the Europeans left, turned it into rockets, and launched them at israel. Nobody blames the palestinians. Hamas is being 'elected' at gunpoint. But things cannot continue the way they are. Something has to give. Nobody wants to take Palestinians in for a reason.. because they cause trouble wherever they go.
@@Straight_Talkquite possibly, I'm not defending them at all, but the Israeli response to what's happened is totally inappropriate.
@@banksarenotyourfriends What is your standard of 'appropriate'?

Crazy that we're actually talking to these genocidal stormtroopers of Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir's regime.
Keep pushing for an answer, Sangita!
Just because I am sympathetic to the victims of HAMAS attack doesn't mean I can be gaslighted by it.
I certainly don't condone the horrific attack by Hamad but there is now sufficient verifiable historic and current data out there for you not to feel gaslighted. The onus is upon you to seek out what is undeniable and indisputable. The cat is out of the bag in terms of long standing tyranacal Israeli oppression.
@@habsom1406i think you’ve misunderstood the original comment. He’s saying he won’t be manipulated by Israel using Hamas’ actions as a disguise for their own personal motives.
@@introspectivex8346 Ahh, IF that is the case, then perhaps you are right, thank you. Using the pronoun "it" at the end of the same sentence where there is no mention of Israel suggests the 'gaslighting' relates to the immediately preceding few words and therefore is somewhat ambiguous. Israel is not mentioned in the sentence, but you may be right.

Hamas will just move South and start sending rockets from there. What then? Are the people then going to be asked to move North?
They won't because all their tunnels of terror are in the south, don't speak about stuff you don't know
Obviously the siege and bombing of the Ghetto of Warsaw by Nazis was also a great thing if retaining Israel's logic.
Israel is freeing the Palestinians from Hamas. The least the Gazans could do is get out of the way, and maybe say thanks and tell them where the hostages are.... unless they're complicit?
@@TH3-MONKcomplicit or powerless? I’m sure some support Hamas but the last election was in 2006 and Hamas has used violence on its own people to keep control as well as power of the purse. Nothing is as easy as your view implies.
Did the Nazis send food and fuel+power to the Jews ?
What a legacy Israel is leaving for its people, no better than the Nazis, branded as War Criminals with no conscience, suffering from warped and distorted morality.
@@TH3-MONK if by freeing you mean killing then yeah that's what they're doing. The Israeli govt has become what their parents and grandparents escaped.
You should have asked Peter why the intelligence services never gave prior warning to the attack and why the jewish civilians were left undefended for hours while Hamas went on a killing spree.
Apparently Egypt intelligence warned Netanyahu and he didn't respond. As I said Apparently.
The israeli soldiers used tanks, shells and shooting in the crossfire hence killing the israeli civilians according to a survivor.
They were too busy defending illegal west bank settlements
It’s been asked & answered many times now by IDF people saying it was massive failure & there will be full investigation after the war. And some have admitted to analysis failures, but the government hasn’t though.
They knew it was happening and Netanyahu wanted to use this as an excuse to increase his personal power.
You can't talk with these people. The hatred in the area is unbelievable.
Why is their hatred in the first place, oppression. Hamas fighters have all suffered family loss, the leader had his wife and child killed by Israel, most of those who fight have had the same or worse, parents, children, siblings. We sir here pontificating many without even knowing the reality of this situation, which is truly shocking if your Palestinian. There are no guns pointing at us, no one rains down bombs on our heads and our homes aren't stolen from us, we suffer none of our loved ones dying but if we did I'd expect we would fight back. We fought a war to stop another country invading our country, they have the same right

The interview subject can tell the producer if a topic is off limits, or ask what general line of questioning to expect. The subject (or their communications people) could anticipate vulnerable questions and prepare a suitable response, and also prepare key messages to convey during the interview. However, a serious journalist is unlikely to share actual questions in advance.
Hamas stepped into the boxing ring last Saturday and did the unspeakable!
Israel steps into the ring, the gloves are off!
Hamas is taking an unimageable beating.
Gaza and Hamas will lose.
No Mercy.
The end!
Sangita, you made him visably uncomfortable. He is in shock that he is not getting an easy ride. Perhaps he is actually having his conscious pricked. He's wriggling.
It's because every question was a loaded one, and her biases could be heard for all to hear......
@@terptv710no it wasn’t. This is the questions journalist should ask. Stop being a snowflake
It has no conscience
Nice local Israeli accent there. Real authentic. Clearly been there for Millennia.
Sarcasm😂
It sounds semi-british. My guess is israelis have british english taught in their schools.
@@Jupiter1423 Haha...we know where most of them are from if you don't.
@@Jupiter1423 not likely. Israel’s accents are super strong. They are importing people from those places, to boost their numbers, which we know for a fact happens.
@@Tamarlane389 sort of like the democratic party!
This guy is evil, he can't stop smirking when he is being challenged on the predicament Gaza civilians are in.
You are apologizing for rapists and murderers.
@@ThunderAppealIsraelis?
@@ThunderAppeal Honestly that narrative isn't washing anymore.
@@Forksake82 Youre apologizing for rapists and murderers.
@@ThunderAppeal Where in their comment did they do that?
Except, Israel is denying the people of Gaza their human rights by refusing to provide the Palestinians with food, water and electricity etc.
why send supply to your enemy?, never happened in war before
Hamas are denying the people of Gaza everything (and have been since 2005). They could return hostages and have food, water and electricity returned. They could also allow the people they claim to represent to evacuate during the extended evacuation period offered to them. Sadly for the innocent Palestinian people I doubt they are being allowed to leave intentionally by their 'protectors'.
Did we provide Germany food and supplies in WW2? Should we have?
Are you obligated to help someone who just murdered your family?
@@afritimm We are living in the 21st century, the medieval era is behind us 500 years.
I think it's pretty clear that the actions Israel is taking is retaliation with no regard for the civilian population. Hamas are evil, but please remember that Israel has created this situation due to their raising of settlements in lands claimed by the Palestines. I fear that the only way this conflict will end is that one will eradicate the other, which is heartbreaking
Oh what a surprise an Englishman right in the middle of Terror
Are you sure?
@@pauljames5079 Born London England
@@pauljames5079yes, a British Israeli. Must be nice to have citizenship in two countries whilst the Palestinians don't have a country to call their own.
@@pauljames5079 Thats absolutely and English accent. Its scary how many foreigners are fighting for Israel.
The children that survive will rise up in 10 or 15 years.
on both sides, as it has already been for so long. It's tragic for all concerned
Sangita Myska is an excellent interviewer who is holding Lerner to account as he should be.
To be fair, he wasn't as obnoxious as Bennet and I suspect from the fact he was actually listening that deep down he knows the bombing of innocent civilians is wrong.
This war criminal did not answer a single question.
Well done Sangita..much love
How can he defend the indefensible.
Because he's evil 😈
Well he made a lot of confused attempts to do so - but then all zionist apologisers sound like that
Israel’s final solution to the Palestinian problem is underway.
Yup, how the oppressed suddenly becomes the oppressor.
Did they learn nothing from Auschwitz, the abused have now become the abusers!
Looks that way. Wonder what catchy name the Israeli politicians will come up with. Final Solution is probably off the list I imagine.
It wasn't sudden, it was gradual.
Can't say I didn't expect the radicalisation of Israel.@@babymonalisa
no more is to come.
