The Trigger for Strikes and Disregard for Truth [04:41]

"So, since an IDF soldier was killed, and by the way, it is unclear exactly what happened and how this individual was killed, but because one IDF soldier was killed, that means over a 100 Palestinians need to be slaughtered, including 46 children."
