“There Are No Innocents in Gaza, No Civilians”
This statement was not made by a military commander, nor by a political opposition figure. It came from a diplomat—someone who is supposedly tasked with conveying humanitarian and ethical messages through his position.
But it seems that the Israeli occupation state, from its highest authorities to its lowest-ranking officials, knows nothing but killing, destruction, displacement, and incitement against the Palestinian people.
In the leaked video, Israel’s Ambassador to Austria, David Roet, is seen during a visit to the “Kultus” district and a meeting with the Jewish community in the Austrian city of Innsbruck, in March 2025.
In the same leaked footage, Israel’s former honorary consul in Austria, Günther Feil Fulger, is seen telling Ambassador Roet:
“I will play golf in Gaza, whether you like it or not. I am very happy to be here. I proudly represent the State of Israel.”
The Israeli ambassador responded:
“There are no innocents in Gaza. No civilians.”
According to the video, Ambassador David Roet also expressed support for imposing the death penalty—even on Palestinian children.
The Israeli diplomat further admitted that Tel Aviv holds many Palestinian children in its prisons for years without trial.
Ambassador Roet also said: “Will Europe be crazy enough to invest money in Gaza again? Because if it does, we will have to destroy it next time.”
Such a statement does not merely call for changes in Israeli educational curricula—it demands a complete overhaul of the political and social mindset in Israel, which is rooted in a culture of violence and denial of the other.
Those who make such statements should feel shame before the world.
