OPINION:
The assertion that Israel is to blame for the situation of civilian Gazans was debunked by the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, last week. Speaking with NPR, Mr. Huckabee asserted, “The prolonged suffering for everybody is on Hamas, and I’m outraged that the U.K., Canada, France — they’re blaming the wrong perpetrator.”
Mr. Huckabee continued: “I’m not in the position to tell the Israelis how to conduct their war. … My family members weren’t murdered and massacred, mutilated” on Oct. 7, 2023.
Israel is conducting a war on terrorism with no moral difference from the war that Americans waged against al-Qaida after 9/11. Hamas chose to start this war. Israel is fighting now to prevent future wars.
