The corrupt International Criminal Court and accuse us of war crimes. But that's not us. We value every civilian life. Every civilian life lost is a tragedy, and we'll do. You know, so far, We've incurred a lot fewer civilians to combatants lost than just about in any urban warfare in modern times. If you feel that what's happening in Gaza is being misrepresented, why not allow journalists in, independent of Israeli forces? Yeah, we do, I think, sometimes. (09:41–09:50)
