Israel's war on Hamas has caused immense devastation and loss of life in Gaza. The United States, despite international outcry, has bypassed Congress to approve an emergency weapon sale to Israel. Secretary Blinken claims an emergency exists, but it's unclear who Israel needs to defend themselves from. The situation in Gaza is dire, with thousands killed and millions displaced. The Israeli government's actions seem to indicate a desire for their genocide to occur more quickly.

Speaker 0 questions whether Benjamin Netanyahu deliberately boosted Hamas to prevent a Palestinian state. Speaker 1 answers yes, it was deliberate and systematic, even on record: “Whoever wants to avoid the threat of a two state solution has to support my policy of paying protection money to the Hamas.” With the prime minister’s permission, Qatar was allowed to transfer a huge amount of cash, probably more than $1,400,000,000. By doing it, they increased Hamas’s power, with the objective that Hamas would continue to control Gaza while the Palestinian Authority would control the West Bank so they would fight each other. Speaker 0 states that Netanyahu maintained the Qatar money was to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe. Having helped to build up Hamas, Netanyahu has now vowed to destroy it. He “fed the beast,” and it exploded in our face. If national security strategy is based solely on force, then one would need to win twenty four seven forever.

I oppose this resolution as a United States citizen because it harms us. We have a moral responsibility for both sides in the Middle East conflict, as we provide aid to Arab nations and Israel. However, American weapons and funds are being used to kill Palestinians. Our intervention in areas like Gaza often leads to blowback. Hamas was initially encouraged by Israel to counteract Arafat, but we wanted to impose our democratic system on the world. We encouraged Palestinians to have a free election, which resulted in Hamas becoming dominant. It doesn't make sense that we indirectly and directly helped establish Hamas and now have to kill them. In the past, we allied with Osama bin Laden and financed madrasa schools to radicalize Muslims. There are many reasons to oppose this resolution.

Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, leaving behind valuable resources. However, the Palestinians burned down the greenhouses and elected Hamas as their leaders. Since then, Hamas has used resources from Israel to create rockets and attack the Jewish people, neglecting the needs of the people in Gaza. To truly support a free Palestine, it is necessary to eliminate Hamas. This will lead to a better future for both the people in Gaza and Israel. Eradicating Hamas is the only way to achieve freedom for Palestine.

The speaker discusses the moral responsibility the US holds in the conflict in Gaza, as American weapons and funds are being used. They mention how US intervention has led to unintended consequences, such as the rise of Hamas. The speaker criticizes US actions in the Middle East, including supporting radical groups like Hamas and Osama bin Laden in the past. They argue against a resolution that they believe is not in the best interest of the US or Israel.

Israel encouraged and started Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. The speaker claims this served Israel's purpose at the time. The U.S. imposes its system on the world, such as invading Iraq to teach people how to be Democrats. The U.S. encouraged Palestinians to have a free election, and they elected Hamas. The speaker asserts the U.S. indirectly and directly, through Israel, helped establish Hamas. After Hamas became dominant through the election, the U.S. then had to kill them. The speaker concludes this does not make sense.

The US labels Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, but this term is often used by powerful nations to condemn violence they disagree with. The US supported Israel's invasions and occupation of Southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah played a key role in driving them out. This is why they are considered terrorists. The United States and Europe have the ability to manipulate the narrative, making it seem like Hamas's policies are the problem, rather than the more extreme policies of the US and Israel. It's important to note that in their case, actions speak louder than words.

As an American citizen, I believe resolutions like this harm us. The situation in the Middle East, particularly in Gaza, holds moral responsibility for both sides. The US provides aid to Arab nations and Israel, so we have a stake in this. However, we often overlook the political consequences of our intervention. For example, Israel initially supported Hamas to counteract a different group, but now we are dealing with the repercussions. We have a history of supporting groups that later become our enemies, like Osama bin Laden. Therefore, there are multiple reasons why we should oppose this resolution, as it is not in the best interest of the United States or Israel.

The Middle East has changed significantly in the past 20 years. If Israel were to ethnically cleanse Gaza, it would lead to a war with the region. Iran is not responsible for triggering this conflict, as Qatar funds Hamas, not Iran. Additionally, Qatar also funds Turkey, which holds significant power in the Middle East.

Israel cannot wage wars independently; they are American wars. The region has been manipulated by Britain, France, and the U.S. for a century, since the Versailles Treaty. There will be no peace while outside powers dictate terms. Tragedies in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, South Sudan, and Libya are attributed to the U.S. government and Israel. Peace requires the region determining its own future, free from outside influence. America provides financing, military backup, naval support, intelligence, and munitions to Israel, without which Israel could not fight or commit what is described as a genocide in Gaza. The U.S. is a major actor in the region, not on the fence. The region will lack safety and peace until the U.S. ceases manipulation and war. Empires divide to rule, and the U.S. is not acting on behalf of regional entities.

It's late at night. Israel is in a fight for their lives. Our friends in Israel are surrounded by people who would kill them all if they could. I am tired of the word genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could. They have the capability to do that. They choose not to. Hamas, they would commit genocide in thirty seconds. They just can't. Israel is our friend. They're the most reliable friend we have in the Mideast. A word of warning, if America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us. October 7 was an effort to destroy the state of Israel, the largest loss of Jewish life since the holocaust. and here we are almost two years later, and Israel's the bad guy.

In Gaza, Hamas is manipulating the situation to fuel anger towards Israel. They use tactics like hiding their headquarters under hospitals and preventing people from leaving war zones. They even steal resources from the very people they are responsible for. Hamas wants civilians to die so they can blame Israel and provoke anger. Israel is taking action to dismantle Hamas and ensure the safety of its people. The world should be angry, but direct that anger towards Hamas for their actions against both Israel and the people of Gaza.

Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, leaving behind valuable resources. However, the Palestinians burned down the greenhouses and elected Hamas as their leaders in 2007. Since then, Hamas has used all resources from Israel to create rockets and attack Israel, neglecting the needs of the people in Gaza. To truly support a free Palestine, we must eliminate Hamas. This will lead to a better future for both the people in Gaza and Israel. Eradicating Hamas is the only way to achieve freedom for Palestine.

Israel wanted peace with the Arabic world since its existence. The PLO was founded in 1964 when the West Bank was in Jordan's hands and Gaza was in Egypt's, not because of occupation, but to eliminate Jews. Palestinians lost Gaza and the West Bank in 1967 because they preempted an attack against Israel. In 2000, Ehud Barak offered 97% of territories back, but it was refused. In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza, removing its people and even Jewish remains from cemeteries. Greenhouses exporting $50 million in flowers were left for Palestinians, but they destroyed synagogues and greenhouses. Hamas then had an election. A woman was elected to the cabinet of Hamas because she had videos of her sons dressing as suicide bombers. Hamas put Palestinians in a prison in Gaza. Gaza could have been Singapore, but instead, Hamas built tunnels instead of helping their people. Palestinians brought this on themselves.

Israel encouraged and started Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. The speaker claims this served Israel's purpose at the time. The U.S. imposes its system on the world, such as invading Iraq to teach people how to be Democrats. The U.S. encouraged Palestinians to have a free election, and they elected Hamas. The speaker claims the U.S. indirectly and directly through Israel helped establish Hamas. Because Hamas became dominant after the election, the U.S. then had to kill them. The speaker concludes that this does not make sense.

Speaker 0 argues that the United States bears responsibility for the conflict in The Middle East, particularly Gaza, because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel. He states that American weapons are being used to kill many Palestinians and that American funds are essentially supporting this, creating a moral responsibility. He also highlights a political liability, noting that there is blowback from interventions in areas where the U.S. should not be involved. Regarding Hamas, he claims that history shows Hamas was encouraged and started by Israel to counter Yasser Arafat, and while that served a purpose at the time, the U.S. did not want Hamas to emerge. He describes a sequence in which, after asserting that the U.S. has a good system and aims to impose democracy globally, the U.S. pushes for free elections, which leads Palestinians to elect Hamas. He asserts that the U.S. helped establish Hamas indirectly and directly through Israel, and after Hamas becomes dominant, the U.S. then feels compelled to kill Hamas, describing it as illogical. In the 1980s, he notes that the U.S. was allied with Osama bin Laden while contending with the Soviets. He says that our CAA (likely CIA) believed it was beneficial to radicalize the Muslim world to compete with the Soviets, financing Madrasa schools to radicalize Muslims. He argues that this policy produced significant blowback. He concludes that there are many reasons to oppose a certain resolution, stating that it is not in the interest of the United States and not in the interest of Israel either.

The speaker acknowledges that the Israeli government and the US are part of the problem. They mention that in 2000, the Israeli government offered a Palestinian state, but it was turned down by Arafat and the PLO. There were also unsuccessful attempts to bring Palestinians and Israelis together during the speaker's time as Secretary of State. The speaker highlights that Israel left Gaza in 2005, but Hamas destroyed the infrastructure left behind and caused harm to Palestinians. They believe it is important to dislodge Hamas and work towards a two-state solution.

Speaker argues the United States is Israel's last large ally besides the UK, with a large cost and limited perspective due to lies from the political class and media. They blame U.S. elected leaders for decades of misrepresentation. Citing Nikki Haley's 2023 Republican primary debate, the quote: "Last thing we need to do is to tell Israel what to do. The only thing we should be doing is supporting them and eliminating Hamas. It is not that Israel needs America. America needs Israel." The speaker contends this is inverted: "Israel could not survive without The United States." American backing funds Israeli wars and social services; "every dollar that goes to the Israeli military from The United States is a dollar that the nation of Israel can spend on its own people." Haley wasn't asked to explain, and questioning geopolitics is feared as antisemitic, leading to "a state of perpetual intimidation" and "We have not had an honest conversation about this ever."

It is not in the U.S.'s or Israel's interest to get involved in another major war in the Middle East. It's false to say that when Israel was attacked, America was attacked. Adopting that mentality leads to situations like Iraq. The U.S. shouldn't put boots on the ground in Israel, and many Israelis agree. The U.S. is limited in how it can support Israel right now due to resources given to Ukraine and military drawdown after twenty years of war. The U.S. drew down artillery prepositioned in Israel and gave it to Ukraine, and it will take years to rebuild the capacity to adequately support partners like Israel and Ukraine while preparing for a potential conflict with China. Israel is going to need a lot of artillery shells just like Ukraine does. Early in the Ukraine war, Israel was attacked for taking a neutral stance and resisting pressure to send its Iron Dome to Ukraine. Had Israel caved, more Israelis would have died. Israel deserves credit for prioritizing the safety of its citizens.

We created Hamas as a counterweight to the government at the time, thinking it would be a prayer organization that would clash with them. However, we couldn't predict what it would become. Now, we have to consider the facts and decide whether to conquer Gaza and destroy Hamas, regardless of the cost.

Hamas is a resistance organization with a legal right to resist occupation, similar to the French resistance in World War II. The violence in Palestine may constitute genocide, with real-time imagery on social media showing bombings of civilian infrastructure. US policy of backing Israeli actions is creating global resentment, particularly in the Arab and Muslim world, which will negatively impact American foreign policy and national security for a generation. Current US leadership is poor, facing crises at home and abroad. Blinken and Sullivan are considered incompetent. Personal connections to Zionism by figures like Blinken and Biden are inappropriately influencing US foreign policy. The speaker recommends viewing non-US news sources to witness the devastation. A ceasefire is the optimal solution to prevent further escalation.

Less than two weeks before Israel's attack on Gaza, Netanyahu presented a map at the United Nations General Assembly called the "new Middle East," which completely erased the Palestinian regions. This suggests Israel's intention to eliminate Gaza. The strategy of using another entity, in this case Hamas, allows Israel to shift blame and portray itself as defending against a supposed threat. US Senator Ron Paul has claimed that Hamas is actually an organization created and funded by Israel to serve its interests. The history of Hamas indicates that it was initially encouraged and supported by Israel.

We created Hamas as a counterweight to Fatah, thinking it would be a prayer organization that would compete with them. However, we couldn't predict what it would become. Now, we have to consider the facts and decide whether to conquer Gaza and destroy Hamas, regardless of the cost.

A congressman from Texas opposes a resolution regarding the situation in Gaza, stating that it harms the United States and Israel. He believes that the US has a moral responsibility for both sides due to providing aid to Arab nations and Israel. However, he also highlights the political liability of intervention and mentions the history of Hamas being indirectly supported by Israel. He criticizes the US for trying to impose its system on the world and mentions the blowback from past actions. The congressman concludes that the resolution is not in the interest of the United States or Israel.
