Kirby charged that it is Hamas, not Israel, that is guilty of genocide.
It’s erroneous to accuse Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters in Washington on Monday.
“This word genocide is getting thrown around in a pretty inappropriate way by lots of different folks,” Kirby said.
He spoke out after a journalist asked to a response to those who have started to call US President Joe Biden, “genocide Joe.”
Kirby charged that it is Hamas, not Israel, that is guilty of genocide. He referred to the terror group’s October 7 infiltration of southern Israel in which Hamas killed over 1,200 people and seized over 239 hostages. Among the its attack site was a music festival at the Gaza border.
“What Hamas wants, make no mistake about it, is genocide,” Kirby charged. “They want to wipe Israel off the map. They have said so, publicly on more than one occasion. “They have said they are not going to stop,” Kirby stated.
