Nikki Haley’s Response To The Hamas Attacks On Israel Are Spot On

WATCH: Democrats and Republicans are growing apart in views of Israel

Israel and Gaza/Hamas have finally reached a ceasefire agreement after two days of chaos. Over 600 rockets were fired at Israel.

The last 48 hours in Israel:

690 rockets fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians
240 Iron Dome Aerial Defense System interceptions
210,000 children had school cancelled
4 Israeli civilians killed

Hamas and Islamic Jihad announced on Monday morning that a ceasefire has been reached with Israel. The ceasefire goes into effect at 4:30 am, the groups said.

Israel did not immediately comment on the announcement, but later in the morning the Home Front Command lifted all restrictions for Gaza border residents implying a ceasefire was agreed upon.

To no surprise, Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar have been running to the defense of the perpetrators.

How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends?

The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.

When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free? Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine https://t.co/p3X3j8WtwM

Hamas is doing this. Israel wants peace, but it’s nearly impossible to have peace with people who refuse to acknowledge or accept your existence. How elected officials can rush to the defense of the perpetrators, I still don’t know.

Cue Nikki Haley.

Imagine if 600 rockets had been fired into the US or any other country besides Israel. What country would not defend itself? Every Presidential candidate needs to weigh in on their thoughts on this attack. Go ahead….we’ll wait. 🇺🇸

BINGO. Any other country would’ve retaliated, but the Tlaibs and Omars of the world are somehow able to pin this back on Israel.

It’s utterly mind-blowing.
