Amid the ongoing war between the Islamic terrorists of Hamas and the Middle East’s primary democracy, Israel, Hamas and its supporters often have referenced the human cost to civilians in Gaza as Israel works to wipe out the terrorists.
It’s not surprising there are civilian casualties there, given that Hamas’ terrorists frequently locate their military bases at or near – even underneath – hospitals, schools and historic sites, seeking to use them as shields.
The Joe Biden White House verbally has continued its commitment to Israel’s right to defend itself and fight terrorism.
But the actual words have taken on a new meaning, as they reprise the messaging that has been coming from Hamas itself.
On social media, Kamala Harris claimed she and Biden were clear: “Israel has a right to defend itself, and we will remain steadfast in that conviction.”
However, she charged that Israel must respect “international humanitarian law,” because, of course, “too many Palestinians have been killed.”
She ordered that Israel “must do more to protect innocent civilians.”
Israel has a right to defend itself. As Israel does so, it matters how.
Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. As Israel pursues its military objectives in Gaza, we believe Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians. pic.twitter.com/2LRNGESU8N
