When it comes to Israel Palestine issue, US politicians become dumb af

[maxime-hv]

Very sad to read the comments with people callously calling to ban an organization who at its core helps and feeds people who are getting trampled, starving and dying in masses.

Just say a terrorist is behind everything you want to shoot at or destroy, and it seems you now have a greenlight to proceed, whether its a school, a humanitarian convoy, a hospital, a child school.

If israeli dies then west cries ‘innocents are dead’. But if a any palestinian dies then ’israel has the right to defend’. Hypocrites.

[Sense_check]

Humanity is gone. I can’t believe we are in 2024 and acting like it’s 1924. You have an occupier and you have the occupied. When was it ever in history that the occupier was the victim?

[Ncharlop]

Israel passed that law 92-10 !
If you know Israeli politics you know that happens once in a generation.

[jasonsmall]

It would be nice if he answered the question.

[Arday]

You'll note he didn't actually answer the question.

[lordzeke]

There were UNRWA people attacking in Isreal on 10 / 7. Defund this group

[oda]

See how quick they accused UNWRA a terrorist 😂😂 bet they gonna tell you hummus the boogeyman is in there too. Hahahha 😂😂😂

[DivineGame]

Palestine 🇵🇸 is in the heart of every good American.

[JohnGtti-gu]

UNRWA exists not because they care about people in Gaza. They care about perpetuating “refugee” status forever because that’s what keeps the UN payroll going.

[bruceinsley]

I think he answered that very well.
UNRa needs to go

[mkhwaja]

If this thought process is applied to IDF then IDF should be dissolved as well.. Because they have soldiers who have done nothing but terrorise innocent civilians.

[mckenzie]

Unfortunately, Vance is beholden to AIPAC. It’s a shame, I was really hoping for change there.

[Benjamin-Opi]

Evasion is a technique of equivocation. The question remains without an answer.

[rossevans]

From the moment he starts his 'spin' you know you are not going to get a straight answer. But then that's what he's there to do and he does it consistently.

[hannahmondry]

Suddenly he is a politician - in the worst sense of the word. He speaks in vague platitudes, not committing to anything, not decisive action, careful not to make anyone angry. Well, he made me angry. I expected more of him.

[carollamond]

He speaks so cogently and reasonably…JD Vance is so the right man as vice president

[elynoorzai]

Come on Vance your smarter then this there was no evidence that there was any link between them.

[Samuel_Giba]

What is his position on Israel hitting nuclear targets in Iran? Will he look the other way, or not allow? That is the most important question regarding this conflict.
