I&#8217;m hit \u2064emotionally by listening to the \u200dtestimony of the \u200bpeople that you were talking \u2063to just there because we&#8217;ve \u200cbeen there \u2062in Re&#8217;im and witnessed firsthand \u200dwhat I think \u2063they&#8217;re talking about that they&#8217;ve seen the\u2063 video images of\u200b where people had come out. Those\u200d young \u2062partygoers at the music festival there had run away from Hamas who were\u2062 just murdering and \u200dslaughtering them\u200d in the fields as they ran away. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And they got\u200c to their cars and we \u2063saw the line of cars\u2063 and how they were shot up and how they \u2062were strewn across \u2063the road\u200d as people were trying \u200bto \u2014 were trying \u200bto escape\u200b and trying to save their lives and drive away.\u2064 And next\u2063 to that\u2064 was one of those rocket\u2062 shelters. There&#8217;s one just \u2063here\u200b but\u2063 there was one just there. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I went to have\u2063 a\u2062 look and there were torn up shoes \u200doutside. \u200dthen\u2063 I \u2062could see \u200cblood stains as I went inside. And this is why I wanted to speak about it now, because, you\u2062 know, being there, I&#8217;m trying to be professional and I&#8217;m trying \u200bto tell the story and bear\u200b witness\u2062 to the \u200b\u2014 to the barbarity and the callous, cruel, cold-blooded, calculated killing that Hamas\u200d was ripping upon those poor\u200b innocent \u2064young people. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>But that listening\u2063 to that conversation you\u200b were \u2062having there with\u2063 John\u2064 Kirby, it puts me in\u200b mind to reflect on physically \u200dwhat\u2062 we saw, \u200dso let\u200b me explain. Because the smell \u200dwhen you step into the shelter is kind \u200cof what hits you first, and \u2064you realize \u200dthat\u200b this stuff on the floor\u200c is what you fear it \u2063is. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It&#8217;s \u2064blood, and you realize in \u2063an instant, looking at the strewn\u200c shell casings on the floor, looking at the bullet holes \u200cin\u2063 the concrete \u2062in front of you, \u200dand you&#8217;re\u200b sort of, you can \u2062understand what \u200bhappened that people were used to going to these shelters for safety and security from\u2064 Hamas\u2062 rockets. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And when Hamas were chasing them, they hoped that there \u200bwas safety and security in these concrete bunkers. And\u2064 of course, there wasn&#8217;t because we could see\u200c what happened. Hamas had gone in there with\u2063 guns and quite literally shot them. This is a deployment that military hardware going by. I&#8217;m\u200b going\u200c to pause. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Had quite literally \u2063shot them in calculated cold blood as\u2064 they \u2064were cowering there on the\u200c floor and the bloods on \u200cthe wall and the bloods on\u200c the ceiling\u2064 and the bullet holes are in the concrete wall and you \u2062know in that instant \u2063how horrible \u200band\u2062 how terrible it was.

It\u2063 really\u2063 does. \u2064And \u200cI \u2063also want to say to \u2064the Hamas leadership, if you&#8217;re using these rocket shelters as hiding places, \u200bremember that when they&#8217;re bombed, it&#8217;s not just rocks that \u200ccome back, it&#8217;s \u200drocks that\u2064 come back at ballistic speed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The\u200d emotional\u200b breakdown of White House spokesman John \u200bKirby\u2062 highlights \u200dthe profound impact that the\u2064 ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas is having on innocent civilians. The atrocities\u200b committed by Hamas, as described by \u2064Kirby and CNN&#8217;s Nic Robertson, paint \u2063a grim picture of the violence and suffering experienced by the Israeli people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The images and \u200ctestimonies shared in the interview with Jake Tapper expose the human cost of the conflict. Families torn apart, lives lost, and the \u2062terror faced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/more-than-660000-individuals-flee-ukraine-could-reach-four-million-report-says\/\" title=\"More Than 660,000 Individuals Flee Ukraine, Could Reach Four Million, Report Says\">individuals seeking safety<\/a> are reminders that behind the politics and the headlines are \u2064real people, with loved ones and dreams for a \u2063peaceful future. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is important for the international \u2064community to recognize the horrors faced by Israeli citizens, \u200dwho \u200cendure \u200dconstant threat and violence. \u2063The \u2063images \u2062shown on &#8220;The\u200d Lead&#8221; are\u200b a \u200dsobering reminder \u2063of the brutality that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/national-security-council-spokesman-breaks-down-over-images-of-hamas-atrocities\/\" title=\"NSC Spokesman Emotionally Reacts to Hamas Atrocities\">innocent civilians face daily<\/a>. It is crucial for world leaders\u2064 to condemn\u200b and address the actions of\u2063 Hamas, who continue to perpetrate acts of terror and violence against Israeli citizens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The\u2062 emotional response of John Kirby serves as a call \u2064to \u200caction \u2063for the \u2062international\u2064 community. It is a plea to acknowledge the devastating\u200b impact of the conflict \u200cand work towards a resolution that brings an end to the violence \u2064and \u2063ensures the safety and\u200b security of all civilians \u200cin the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the world watches with\u200d a heavy heart,\u200c it\u200d is imperative \u200dthat \u200bgovernments \u2064and individuals come \u200dtogether to support those\u200d affected and advocate for a lasting peace. The atrocities committed\u2064 by Hamas against Israeli citizens should not go unnoticed\u2064 or unaddressed. It is through empathy, compassion, and \u200cconcerted efforts that we \u2062can hope to \u2064bring an end to the suffering and work towards a future where conflicts can be\u200b resolved through peaceful means.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the face of tragedy, it \u200cis essential \u200bthat\u200b we stand \u2062together and support those who \u2062are affected. The emotional breakdown \u2062of White \u200cHouse spokesman John Kirby serves as a \u200breminder that the horrors faced by innocent civilians should stir our collective conscience and drive us \u200dtowards lasting, peaceful solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby became emotional while discussing the atrocities committed by Hamas against Israeli citizens.
