MSNBC host Joy Reid doesn’t live in reality, so it’s expected that her questions to Senior Israeli Advisor Marl Regev would be completely detached from reality too. During Monday’s edition of The ReidOut, Reid tried to trip up Regev with a series of manipulatively worded gotcha questions meant to paint Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces as a bloodthirsty group of rampaging genocidal maniacs. Arguably the pinnacle of the stupidity was a question about if Israel would bomb a hospital in Israel, if a Hamas terror leader was hiding in it.

The hospital question was meant to show that Israel put more value on Israeli lives and infrastructure than that of the Palestinians and Gaza. Witness the ridiculousness of the question or yourself:

If you were to discover the Israeli, you know, military were to discover that Yahya Sinwar, who is the Hamas militant who planned the 10/7 attacks was actually hiding in Israeli territory, hiding in a hospital there with his militants, with his men, would Israel drop 2,000-pound bombs on that hospital?

Again, Reid wasn’t living in reality and didn’t care for the facts of it. Israel had already sent its troops deep into Gaza City intending to capture and secure al Shifa Hospital and the Hamas headquarters underneath it. It would have been easier for Israel to drop bunker-buster bombs and level the hospital but they instead chose to do it a harder way. That’s not to mention that other claims about Israel bombing hospitals have long been debunked.
