Jennings: People Die in Active War Zones, the Deal Has to Be Executed by Hamas Who Has the Hostages

JENNINGS: “Yeah, I think they said also six terrorists were killed in the attack.”
KASPARIAN: “Total BS.”
JENNINGS: “We‘ve heard — how do you know?”
KASPARIAN: “I know it‘s BS because of the IDF‘s internal documents, which indicate that — “
JENNINGS: “You know for a fact — “
KASPARIAN: “ — 83 percent of people killed there happen to be civilians.”
JENNINGS: “You know for a fact that there weren’t any terrorists there?”
KASPARIAN: “I‘m not going to sit here and regurgitate the lies from the Israeli government as they‘re conducting a genocide.”
JENNIGNS: “So we‘ve had — “
PHILLIP: “Even if there were six terrorists killed in the strike, there were 20 people killed total. So there were a lot of people who were killed who, according to Israel, were not terrorists. Five of those people were journalists. The second strike occurred when there were aid workers coming to assist people who had been caught up in the strike. That‘s what I‘m talking about, putting — I don‘t want to — I can‘t litigate the terrorists or not. But even based on their version of it, that is what I think is causing a lot of concern.”
JENNINGS: “Sure. Look, it‘s a war. Tragic things happen. People that you hope would not be killed get killed in an active war zone. It happens in every active war zone for all of human history. I would note we‘ve had four people talk and until me, not a single person has said the word ‘hostage’ yet. There‘s still 50 hostages. In the entire — “
KASPARIAN: “Let’s not lie about that either.”
PHILLIP: “I said hostages because I was talking about the hundreds of — the hundreds of Israelis who were in the streets today demanding a hostage deal and demanding that this war end.”
JENNINGS: “And the deal has to be executed by the people who took the hostages, Hamas. They‘re the ones holding them.”
KASPARIAN: “They accepted a ceasefire.”
JENNINGS: “They‘re the ones who have been holding them since October the 7th. They keep, you know, talking about possible incremental — “
KASPARAIN: “They accepted a ceasefire.”
JENNINGS: “Why don‘t they just really — can you answer one simple question?”
KASPARIAN: “They accepted — they want to release the hostages.”
JENNINGS: “All of them?”
KASPARIAN: “Yes.”
JENNINGS: “How many?”
KASPARIAN: “They accepted a ceasefire — “
JENNINGS: “No, you’re lying. They said maybe.”
KASPARIAN: “They want — give us a 60-day pause in this war. We will return every single hostage. Israel stands in the way every single time.”
JENNINGS: “Why haven’t they released them until now?”
PHILLIP: “What is your view about this? Because this is a talking point that comes up a lot.”
JENNINGS: “It‘s not a talking point. There are 50 lives down there.”
KASPARIAN: “It is definitely a talking point. When you block humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip for three months straight, it not only impacts the Palestinians, which I know you couldn’t care less about, but it also obviously is going to impact the hostages. They‘re going to starve to death as well.”
JENNINGS: “You‘re saying Israel is starving the hostages? (Laughs)”
KASPARIAN: “I‘m saying — yes. Yeah.”
JENNINGS: “That is outrageous.”
KASPARIAN: “When you block humanitarian aid for three months, where do you think they’re going to get the food from? What a joke.”
