Congressman Molinaro is Callus About Palestinian Slaughter

When asked about stopping the genocide in Gaza, Congressman Molinaro responded,

"I stand firm in my condemnation of Hamas’ indiscriminate attack on Israel and the havoc this terrorist organization has unleashed on innocent civilians. Any permanent ceasefire should be accompanied by a complete surrender by Hamas and total acceptance of the Jewish state. Temporary ceasefires should be coordinated by Israel as it has been recently."

When asked if this includes total acceptance of a Palestinian State? And the expulsion of Jewish settlers from Palestinian land? the Congressman failed to respond.

When asked about the atrocities committed by Jewish settlers in the West Bank against Palestinians, as described below by Kristof in the New York Times,

"Gaza dominates the news these days, but at least 132 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, including 41 children, the United Nations says, along with one Israeli soldier killed by Palestinians. More than 900 Palestinians have been forced from their homes in that period.

These are longstanding problems, but they have gotten worse over the past few years and especially in the past few weeks.

“Settlers have been exploiting this war to violently expel shepherding communities,” said Rabbi Arik Ascherman, a human-rights activist in Israel. The United Nations said recently that there had been an average of seven settler attacks on West Bank Palestinians a day since Oct. 7, often with guns and frequently with the support of Israeli security forces."

The Congressman failed to respond.
