COOPER GETS SMOKED! CNN Anchor Blasted for Hospital Report by Former Israeli PM [Watch]

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett blasted CNN anchor Anderson Cooper for refusing to definitively say that the reporting out of Gaza about the targeted hospital was completely false.

“There are no two sides to this hospital,” Bennett said. “Either it was bombed by Israel or it was targeted by someone else on the Palestinian side. And if it’s — if two people come and say, one says it’s raining outside and the other says it’s dry, you don’t bring the quotes of both sides. You just goddamn open the window and look whether it’s raining or not. That’s what we did. And this hospital, in fact it’s a parking lot, was hit definitely, a hundred percent, by Islamic Jihad barrage shot fired at 6:59 p.m.”

“We have three different videos from different angles showing it,” Bennett continued. “We have the ballistics. We know that an Israeli bomb would have created a crater, which does not exist. We know that the propellant in the rocket, because it was a long-term rocket targeted for Israel, so a lot of that propellant was still in the rocket, which created a lot of fire. We have two Hamas [inaudible] talking to each other and saying and admitting that it is from Islamic Jihad. So, Anderson, with all due respect, there aren’t two sides to this. Not everything is two sides. And I have a feeling that if it wasn’t the state of Israel, then I think the global media would have behaved very differently.”

“We’re simply saying we have not been able to independently verify the claims that have been made,” Cooper said. “We have reported exactly what Israel has put forward and also that the U.S. intelligence community has backed up as well. And that certainly seems to be what President Biden has also been basing his assessment on. It’s what he said, information from his own Defense Department, in addition to Israel’s presenting of evidence that takes the —”

“Anderson, I have to barge in here,” Bennett said. “I have to say something. I was in 9/11, I was in Manhattan when it happened. And if, a day later, al-Qaeda would have said that it’s America who perpetrated it, no one would have quoted al-Qaeda. No one would — and you didn’t have validation back then that it was al-Qaeda, but you knew it’s not America. And somehow there’s a double standard here.”
