Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced off against Kyrstal Ball on Monday, leading to a firey exchange that the former won decisively. With all the knowledge of your average TikTok pro-Hamas supporter, Ball threw out talking point after talking point while Kennedy expertly took them apart. By the end of it, she was so flustered that she was trying to change the subject.
There's more that I'll get to in a moment, but I want to highlight the above exchange because it's so informative about how just uninformed your average "pro-Palestinian" is. Ball tried to assert that Israel was somehow responsible for Gaza being destitute, but Kennedy came with the numbers showing just how "pampered" the Palestinians have been regarding international aid. I'm fairly certain that more aid per capita has been poured into Gaza and the West Bank than any other area on earth in the history of mankind. I've made that point before, it's so prudent. Israel is not to blame for most Palestinians living in filth and squalor. The governments of those territories, whether Hamas or the PA, have wasted that money to promote terrorism and build terroristic infrastructure, which has ensured continued instability. The Palestinians themselves aren't innocent either. Polls continually show astronomical levels of support for Hamas and the killing of Jews. It was not a "blockade" that hampered Gaza (and the Rafah Crossing with Egypt is not controlled by Israel). It was Hamas' choice to waste billions upon billions of dollars of international aid to enrich its leadership and wage war. As Kennedy goes on to explain, Hamas has broken every single peace agreement Israel has agreed to, including the one that was in force on October 6th. The best part of the interview was at the end, though, after Ball tried to change the subject. Kennedy delivered this response.
Thank you. I'm glad someone of some notoriety finally said it. It is not inhumane for a nation to build a fence between its nation and bloodthirsty terrorists. The fence is there out of necessity because Hamas operatives have continually abused whatever free travel has existed between Israel and Gaza. To claim that those in Gaza are caged in is not only false (Egpyt could open the Rafah Crossing outside of Israeli influence), it ignores that the barriers are there due to repeated attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups.
Ball is clueless. She's the embodiment of every too-online pro-Hamas supporter who pretends to be "pro-Palestinian." Kennedy may be a liberal, but he never enters a debate without stats and figures. He was ready, and Ball wasn't. That's why all she had was crosstalk and trying to move on. |
