7. Just watched the BBC video ... it is also at the end of this YouTube BBC report from last night ...

Jul 26

Partial transcript below, 6:30 minutes.





"This video is of the foundation's
3:52
armed American security guards opening
3:54
fire.
4:00
I think you hit one."



"1:50
are themselves starving. Israel does not
1:54
allow international journalists to enter
1:56
the territory.
1:58
So, we went to a spot overlooking Gaza,
2:01
a vantage point in the frontline town of
2:03
Stirat, where Hamas attacked and killed
2:06
Israeli civilians on the 7th of October,
2:09
2023.
2:10
Israelis come here to look at the war
2:13
only a few miles away. It was hazy so it
2:16
was hard to see and the steady sound of
2:18
Israeli artillery was carried away on
2:21
the wind. Since my last visit, vending
2:24
machines have been installed if anyone
2:26
needs refreshment. From here it feels
2:29
like looking out of one world into
2:31
another. Not distant but remote and
2:34
isolated. So from up here there are
2:39
essentially two visions of what's
2:40
happening in that world. Israel
2:43
supported by the United States says
2:45
there's plenty of food in Gaza and if
2:46
people are going hungry that's because
2:48
Hamas has been stealing it and because
2:50
the UN and others have not been
2:53
distributing it in the way that they
2:54
should be."
