>> Tell us, if you will, just what the last few days have been like for you. And why it’s so important that you’re hearing today with the reverend Sharpton.

>> GREENBLATT: Well, so I will be honest, maybe a little more vulnerable than I have been, this is one of the hardest days of my adult life. I don’t ever remember a moment like this. I have family in Israel right now under siege, being deployed to the front lines. I have staff who can’t locate their family. I have friends who are gone. And I think ambassador danon put it well in the context that Americans can understand, 9/11, the evil that was perpetrated here. But the scale, Jonathan, the right comparison is nagasaki. This was like an atomic bomb. And as 40,000 people are killed in Japan, when they dropped that bomb in nagasaki, so, too, were the hundreds and hundreds upon hundreds of people who were killed in Israel. So, while I am sad and trying to corner I’ll be honest, I am angry. I am angry with the world that allowed the dehumanization of Israelis and sanitized the terrorism of Hamas. I must say, I love this show, and I love this network. But I’ve got to ask, who’s writing the scripts? Hamas, the people who did this, they are not fighters, Jonathan. They are not militants. I’m looking right at the camera, they are terrorists. It is a barbarian who rapes and brutalizes women. Who kills children in front of their parents. And then brings them over to Gaza. Who literally — we’ve heard all of these reports. And we know these aren’t just reports. These were filmed gleefully by the barbarians who committed these grotesque crimes. They filmed, for example, an elderly woman in her home in one of these towns, they burned her alive in her house because she was too infirm to take out. Parading woman, bleeding from the crotch because they were raped while people hoot and holler and cheer. So while they say this is an escalation, it was bound to happen, I’m sorry, this was a massacre that was pre-planned. It was not destined to happen. It is not normal to shoot teenagers in the back, hundreds of them. I just think, guys, get the story right. All of these pictures of like, you know, missiles or the rubble in Gaza, please talk to the Israeli mothers and fathers. Who lost their children, talk to the grandchildren whose grandparents were seized as hostages. And please stop calling this a retaliation. This is a defensive measure against an organization that is committed to one thing- Killing Jews. Not a peaceful resolution of a conflict. But murdering Jews. And if you’re wondering if I’m exaggerating, please, I beg of you, everyone watching and everyone at this network- Just watch the footage.
