5:58Now PlayingDrop Site's Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill discuss why the focus of "disarming Hamas" is a distraction.
"Focusing on the issue of demilitarization implies that Israel's genocide is justifiable because of some pistols and rifles and homemade explosive devices that remain in the hands of the Palestinian resistance...
You're talking about a nuclear-armed country that is using the most sophisticated weaponry in the world fighting against people wearing Adidas sandals, keffiyehs, and homemade incendiary devices that they're—I have to say—quite bravely running and dropping them in Israeli tanks. It's not like they're launching cruise missiles from another nation at Israel."
— Jeremy Scahill
