CNN Intentionally Flubs Audio As Gaza Emergency Room Doctor Tells Intense Truth - Dr. Haj-Hassan excoriated CNN's Kate Bolduan and the US media (video & transcript)
Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan: “Frankly Kate I struggle to even think about it as a war anymore.
You have a population of two million people effectively beseiged in a concentration camp, that have been killed indiscriminately for 365 days now.
And I know you said that the Ministry of Health does not distinguish between civilians and enemy combatants, but neither did you when you referred to all those killed on October 7.
The death of any human being is tragic, and especially the death of civilians who have nothing to do with any of this, but what I can tell you to help you delineate those figures is, 70% of those killed are women and children in Gaza.
Women and children. That is not a normal…..” CNN’s KATE BOLDAUN INTERRUPTING: “Doctor I’m so sorry….is there? I don’t know if it’s, it’s having to do with me but…..I don’t know if I’ve lost audio…if everyone out there can still hear the doctor, but I….okay…I’m sorry doctor, I’m having an audio issue, umm, so control room, if you can work on my audio so I can continue with this interview. Doctor, I’m so sorry to interrupt, I thought we were having a technical issue…..um…you know what? Let’s do this: we’re going to take a quick break so we can fix this audio issue, I’m not really sure what’s going on with this technical glitch.”
(EXTRA LONG COMMERCIAL BREAK)
CNN’s Kate Bolduan returns from the long break to the other doctor first instead of Dr. Haj-Hassan.
Dr. Haj-Hassan: “Kate, in all honesty a humanitarian crisis is what you deal with when you have a hurricane; when you have to deal with an earthquake.
You have an insult, you have a humanitarian response.
This is my career - this is what I do for a living.
Every single person who does this for a living will tell you the same thing.
This is different. This is not a humanitarian crisis.
Kate, and I’m going to say it very clearly for your viewers to hear: THIS IS GENOCIDE.
When 70% of the population that are killed are women and children;
When the population is starved of food, of water, of medicine;
When you have attacks - repeated attacks - on all the hospitals, the clinics, the aid distribution sites; the humanitarian aid agencies that try to help.
More U.N. workers have been killed in Gaza than in U.N.’s history.
When you have over 900 families that have been exterminated, that have been taken off of the civil registry, killed.
When you have over 17,000 children that have lost one or both parents.
When you have bakeries, aid distribution sites, churches, mosques, schools and in the last three days, in the last 24 hours in fact, a hospital today that was bombed as you just reported, the hospital where I personally was working and I can tell you they are working every second of every day to try and sustain life, when Israel’s strategy and evidence on the ground suggests they are doing the exact opposite.
They were targeted today, there was a rehabilitation center that was targeted in the last 24 hours; and there was an orphanage that was targeted earlier this week.
These are the types of places that are being targeted.
And so it’s really hard to hear it over and over and over again framed in the way that it’s being framed in the media, which frankly Kate, is very misleading.
It is very misleading. 365 days of this.
Death tolls that are so far outdated we have no idea how many people are killed.
I am genuinely afraid about what we’re going to find out when the dust settles.
History books will be written on this. And countries will have to reckon; media agencies will have to reckon with their major role in the genocide of an entire population and the destruction of humanitarian law and rule of order.”
She’s pissed because she knows the control room jackass suddenly cut her audio to interrupt her interview, and she knows he did it on purpose and she’s having a moment thinking about it.
