On the latest Ralph Nader Radio Hour, Ralph spoke with whistleblower, Wes Bryant—
a senior policy analyst and advisor on precision warfare and civilian harm mitigation at the Pentagon’s Civilian Protection Center— about the true death count in Israel’s destruction of Gaza:
Ralph Nader: What this tells us about our government and the mainstream press is that they're not interested in the real toll. The real toll would intensify political, diplomatic, and civic drive and energy to end this conflict. It does make a difference. Nobody would ever tolerate an estimate of 600,000 Jews killed by the Nazis in World War II, instead of 6 million. So it's either indifference, ignorance, lassitude, or bigotry on the part of newspapers, magazines, radio, and TV in the U.S. and this has astonished us.
Wes Bryant: I absolutely believe, on the part of the Netanyahu government, the IDF, at least leadership culture and many within the IDF, there is this massive level of dehumanization against Arabs and Muslims. Of course, now we have white nationalism baked into our current national defense strategy. So, as you said, if these were white Christians or white Jews, even not even 600,000, as you mentioned, just the 70,000, 80,000 figure that we have, it would have been stopped a long time ago. That's an absolute fact.
