Theo Von presses Sen. John Kennedy on Gaza and says it feels like Israel is the “terrorist organization.” Kennedy acknowledges “a lot of people believe that” but points out that “Hamas attacked Israel.” Theo then reads the death toll of Palestinian children since October 7. Kennedy fires back and says there’s a problem with his source: THEO: “It feels like [Israel] are the bullies of the area. It feels like they’re the terrorist organization.” KENNEDY: “A lot of people believe that. Hamas attacked Israel and the Israelis fight back, and they took over the Gaza Strip. And yes, a lot of Palestinians got hurt.” THEO: “Not got hurt, got killed.” KENNEDY: “Got killed and hurt. But Hamas would hold the Gazans hostage. They would put them out front.” THEO: “But how do we even know that? They killed 220-something journalists that went there to document what was going on.” KENNEDY: “There’s no question there’s been civilian deaths.” THEO: “They wouldn’t let journalists in to even document what was happening there.” KENNEDY: “There have been civilian deaths, but it is primarily the fault—I’m not saying Israel is blameless. Look, war is ugly.” THEO: “But is this war?” KENNEDY: “It is war.” THEO: “You think it’s war? They just had an article yesterday that came out from the UN… Here are some findings of the commission. Israel has killed 20,000 children and injured 44,000 more since October 7, 2023. Palestinian children have been arrested and subjected to torture and other severe forms of mistreatment in Israeli prisons. This is all part of… United Nations.” KENNEDY: “Well, first, I wouldn’t believe it if it came from the UN.” THEO: “Oh, really? Do you feel like they’re not reliable?” KENNEDY: “They’re not reliable. They’re not objective. And I know children got killed, and it breaks your heart. Hamas kills children, too. So does Hezbollah. So does Iran.”
