There was no pushback from CNN. Instead, he was invited on again. bit.ly/3Qh8H9o
Community note
The full quote is:
"The war was not just with Hamas, the war was with all the civilians that can not see us as human beings, who want to kill us. Because what I saw in that place near Gaza, civilians from Gaza, came on bicycles to the Kibutz just to kill and destroy."

🚨 URGENT: YouTube restricts EI from livestreaming
@YouTube has just placed a punitive freeze on The Electronic Intifada's channel, alleging that several of our previous livestream segments violated their opaque "community guidelines." We vigorously reject this. Our careful reporting and analysis are professional, ethical and factual.
This blatant act of censorship aimed at preventing us from freely discussing the situation in Palestine and the wider region includes banning us from posting videos or livestreaming on our YouTube Channel for seven days. This means we are unable to livestream our program today, 11 September 2024, via YouTube.
We refuse to be silenced!
The Electronic Intifada livestream will go ahead, but you will need to watch it on alternative platforms. Once we go live, you will be able to:
* Watch here on The Electronic Intifada's X/Twitter page: nitter.app/intifada
* Watch on Facebook: facebook.com/electronicintif…
* Watch on Twitch: twitch.tv/TheElectronicIntif…
* Watch on Instagram: instagram.com/electronicinti…
We will be starting at our usual time:
1900 Palestine time / 1900 Amman time / 1600 GMT / 1700 UK / 1800 CET / 11 am CT / 12 pm ET / 9 am PT
Please join us!
