Why Are We Still So Supportive Of Israel?: Reporter Confronts Kirby About Gazas Starving

➡ The U.S. is dropping aid to people in need because of a conflict started by Hamas, despite the risks involved. Israel, who is blamed for the people’s suffering, has also tried to help. The U.S. continues to support Israel because it has a right to defend itself against threats. However, the conflict has resulted in many tragic deaths, which everyone agrees should be avoided.

Thanks, John. And you’ve laid out now a couple of times the practical challenges that will be part of this airdrop or these airdrops. And I’m kind of curious about that, because those are risks that the United States now has to take on for itself, conducting those airdrops. The reason those risks now fall to the United States is because Israel is starving those people. It. So why are we still so supportive of Israel when it is the one that is creating the problem that the United States now has to try to ameliorate? Israel itself has tried to help with the delivery of humanitarian assistance.

As I said, they tried airdrops themselves just a week or so ago on their own, according. It’s a war zone and there’s nowhere else for them to go. It’s not like in some other conflicts where they can easily flee. And let’s not forget how this started, okay? There’d be no need for airdrops if Hamas hadn’t chosen to break what was a ceasefire in place on the 6 October? So let’s not forget how this started.

There is a need. Many people are in desperate need of food, water, medicine and fuel. And the United States was and remains and will continue to be the leading provider of humanitarian assistance to them. And we take that responsibility. We also continue to be the main supporter of the people who are causing that assistance to be necessary. We also know and recognize that Israel has a right to defend itself against a still viable threat.

Again, please, if you haven’t done it, I encourage you to go online and read the 2017 manifesto of Hamas. I know you’re smiling, but you should do it, because if you don’t have any. Wait, let me finish. Let me finish. This is an organization that has military capabilities and has every intent of wiping Israel and the israeli people off the map. That has to be unacceptable to everybody.

Mr. Sinoar chose to start this war. There was a ceasefire in place. He broke it. You think that the Israelis were defending themselves legitimately when they killed a hundred? There have been too many people killed over the course of this conflict. The president has said that himself. Secretary Austin said it in testimony again yesterday. Each civilian life, Palestinians certainly included in that, each one is a tragedy and should be avoided.
