0:00.0 | This is CBS. I on the World. I'm John Batchel. The headline in the Times of Israel, IDF says troops fired on suspects outside Gaza, aid site. Hamas official, health officials say 27 killed. I note that that's a headline in Jerusalem. At the same time from London, the F.T. overnight. |
0:22.8 | Israeli soldiers kill 27 Gazans near AIDS Center, says health ministry. |
0:29.5 | I welcome Jonathan Shanzer, the executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, |
0:35.5 | to note that these claims by the F.T. And they so-called health |
0:41.9 | officials, health ministry, health officials, Palestinian officials, the F.T. varies on synonymous |
0:49.2 | for the other side. Are made without hesitation a grotesque piece of information war that is |
0:58.6 | unstoppable as far as London is concerned. |
1:02.2 | So Jonathan, I don't mean to fuss about newspaper headlines too much, but this goes out as |

2:10.9 | broadly that they are with either withholding aid or making it more difficult or killing people |
2:16.5 | that are trying to access that aid, |
2:19.5 | I will just say that a lot of these reports are conflicted at best. I mean, number one, I think, |
2:26.4 | as you note, you've got unnamed Palestinian officials making these allegations. In some cases, |
