White House: Israel Is Living Next to a Genocidal Threat from Hamas
(White House) White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said Wednesday: "While we take issue with aspects of how [IDF] operations [in Gaza] are being conducted...we also continue to believe and continue to act on the belief that Israel has a right to defend itself against a still-viable threat by Hamas. They still have every right and responsibility to their people to eliminate that threat after the 7th of October. And so, that support for Israel continues. No country should have to live next door to a threat that is truly genocidal, as Hamas has been....Israel is going to continue to have American support for the fight that they're in to eliminate the threat from Hamas." "Israel has a right to defend itself. Maybe not everybody believes that, but they do. And maybe not everybody believes that they're living next to a genocidal threat, but they are. And so, we're going to continue to support them. No country should have to live like that. No country should have to be attacked, like they were on the 7th of October, with 1,200 people slaughtered."
