If the anchor isn't challenged, then most discussion afterward is pointless. The interviewers know this. Politicians have been coached on how, and when, to frame this particular anchor.
Israel is occupying territory outside of the boundaries that were 'drafted' by the UN... using force. The Palestinians have responded to the encroachment, supported by Israeli military force... using force since legal doctrine has proven unsuccessful. Israel has neither moral or legal 'right to defend itself'.
