In an interview this morning with ABC News, Kamala Harris threatened Israel with ‘consequences’ if they invade Rafah to destroy Hamas.
Here’s what she said:
In a wide-ranging new interview with ABC News, Vice President Kamala Harris suggested there could be “consequences” for Israel if it moves ahead with a planned invasion of Rafah in its pursuit of Hamas fighters.
“We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” Harris told ABC News’ Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott in part of the interview that aired Sunday on “This Week.”
“Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps. There’s nowhere for those folks to go,” Harris said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month he’d approved a plan to invade Rafah, an announcement that prompted President Joe Biden to relay what the White House called “deep concerns” about the safety of the many civilians sheltering in the city.
Tens of thousands of people have died in Gaza so far, according to the Hamas-run health ministry there.
Okay hold up. It’s amazing to me that ABC News can quote the Hamas-run health ministry as if it’s telling the truth, when all they do is lie to hurt Israel. The larger number of people who have died in Gaza are most likely Hamas soldiers, which they conflate with any civilians who die.
But even more to the point, any civilian deaths are the fault of Hamas because of how they use human shields. Israel is not to blame, but you’d never know this by this garbage level reporting.
It continues…
Netanyahu has maintained that going into Rafah is necessary to dismantle Hamas in the wake of their attack; Israeli forces also insist they can move civilians out of the battlegrounds and toward “humanitarian islands” — but the U.S., which is a major supporter of Israel’s military, has sharply criticized the possibility of a large-scale incursion.
Scott on Sunday pressed the vice president, asking if America would consider “consequences” if Netanyahu went forward — something he said he was willing to do despite the opposition.
“Well, we’re going to take it one step at a time, but we’ve been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen,” Harris said.
Scott followed up: “Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States?”
“I am ruling out nothing,” Harris replied.
Instead of believing Israel that they have a way to protect civilians, Kamala and the Biden administration sides with Hamas. What lowlifes!
Mark Levin responded to this appropriately:
