JL;DR SUMMARY Andrew Fox discusses the controversy surrounding casualty figures reported by the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza, arguing that these are inflated for propaganda purposes. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

Be'eri, Central District, Israel
"They had med kids with them. They had, they had logistics chains. They had, you know, taxi ranks of vehicles lined up. They had weaponry above and beyond what even the British army carries at squad level. We don't have thermobaric warheads that we carry routinely at platoon level. Hamas did. And then when we look at Gaza itself, if you look at some of the intelligence that the IDF have pulled off the ground, and I'm lucky enough that I've been to Glilot, I've had some really interesting high-level briefings."
Ireland
"Even yesterday, Sky News put out a report about the 45,000 number being passed and included a line saying something like, and the Israelis claimed 17,000 dead with no evidence. It's like, well, come on, you know, we've written a whole chapter. We've got to hear as to why we think that 17,000 is the number."
Norway
"Yes, it's been painful. And you've got countries like Ireland and Sweden, sorry, not Sweden, Norway, who've, you know, joined the genocide case and are making big news about it."
United States
"And actually, Israel is on the verge of a pretty massive strategic win at this point. Okay. Since your think tank is named after a U.S. senator, and you already brought up the U.S., I'm going to ask you this."
Glilot, Central District, Israel
"I've had some really interesting high-level briefings. And the IDF have pulled off the ground, and I'm lucky enough they are."
