00:00But why would Israel refuse access to foreign journalists when people like you are so keen

00:05to have objective facts established by trustworthy outside sources?

00:09Well, there are journalists there. There are Palestinian journalists there.

00:12No, you told me that I can't trust Palestinian figures.

00:16There are journalists there.

00:17Yes, why won't Israel allow foreign correspondents in? Why won't they allow

00:20people that have visited and reported on every other war zone in the world?

00:24And you're going to have to answer one of my questions.

00:27Have you posed that question to them?

00:28Pose that question to whom?

00:30Have you posed the question to the Israeli authorities,

00:32why they won't allow LBC, BBC, Sky, why they won't allow them? Have you posed that question?

00:37I will when I get the opportunity to ask them, but right now I'm asking you.

00:40And you're the answer to the question, Trevor. This is what you don't realize.

00:44Because if they allowed foreign correspondents in to provide independent verification,

00:50to provide international scrutiny, to report objectively,

00:54you wouldn't be able to ring this program and say the things that you've just said.

00:57James, do you know, if there were journalists involved,

00:59what they would find is that arms in maternity wards, guns in pillowcases.

01:04Yes, so then why wouldn't they let you? You've done it. You've proved my point even more powerfully.

01:08So everything, all of the journalists would discover things

01:10that completely support your position. So you must be furious that they're not allowed in.

01:15No, because I trust the Israeli military authorities to make judgments.

01:21They've just killed three British aid workers.

01:24The people you trust to make judgments have just killed three British aid workers.
