KENNEDY: If your neighbor, first of all, Israel has no obligation. Israel built 3,000 hot houses and gave them for greenhouses. That would have made Gaza completely food self-sufficient. Gave it to them and offered to rebuild the Port of Gaza to make it the Singapore of the West. Hamas said no, we don't want Jew money, we don't want Jew ideas.

And what do they do? The international aid agencies have given Hamas, have given Gaza, more than 10 times per capita than what we gave to all of Europe after the Marshall Plan. They've gotten $8,300 per capita, for every person in Gaza. We rebuilt Europe with $621 per capita, in Europe, and we rebuilt it. What did they do with that money? Instead of using it to make this, Gaza is this beautiful country, with white sand beaches, it should be a paradise. Hamas says we don't want that. They take virtually all that money, and they steal it so the top five guys, the top five leaders of Hamas are billionaires. //

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. //

KENNEDY" If Mexico attacked us, and we built a fence, would you blame us for caging in Mexico? I don't know what it is, but everything in your mind says to blame Israel instead of blaming Hamas. //

It’s a dry heat

The amazing part is that RFK was clearly telling ms. nobrains information she did not know. But that didn't slow her down one bit. Never did she utter, "Oh, I didn't know that." She steadfastly pursued a narrative in the face of facts she did not dispute that made her narrative false. She was an advocate, not a newsperson. This, of course, is nothing new; but it was so clearly on display here.
