On the contrary, are you \u2063filming this? I\u200c want you guys to get this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;I want them to destroy every element of Hamas they can get their hands on. These people are vicious animals who have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/destroy-every-element-of-hamas-marco-rubio-rejects-call-for-ceasefire-in-confrontation-with-left-wing-activist\/\" title=\"Rubio rejects ceasefire, vows to annihilate Hamas\">committed horrifying crimes<\/a>, and I hope you guys post that, because that&#8217;s\u2063 my position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin,\u2064 undeterred, questioned Rubio about the innocent civilians being killed \u2064every day. Rubio wasted no time\u200c in placing the blame squarely on Hamas, stating, &#8220;I \u200cblame Hamas for that. Hamas should stop hiding behind civilians, putting \u200dcivilians in \u2064harm&#8217;s way. Hamas knew that this \u200cwould lead\u2064 to such consequences. So, \u200cHamas must \u200bstop building their military installations underneath hospitals, \u2063underneath civilian \u2062areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin \u2064attempted to challenge\u2064 Rubio by citing numbers from Hamas&#8217; Gaza Ministry of Health, an \u200corganization known for its deceptive practices. She asked if he did not care about the innocent lives being\u2063 lost.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio&#8217;s response was resolute, &#8220;Absolutely I do. I\u2064 care, I think it&#8217;s horrifying, I think it&#8217;s terrible, and I think\u2064 Hamas is a hundred percent to blame. That&#8217;s what I think.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before \u2064stepping\u200b away, Rubio made\u2063 one final request, &#8220;Make sure you post that, please.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the exchange here:<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch:<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly said.

However, the\u2063 senator remained steadfast \u2064in\u200b his \u200csupport for\u2062 Israel&#8217;s right to defend itself\u200c against \u2063terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio, known for\u200b his \u2063staunch pro-Israel stance, calmly \u200daddressed Benjamin&#8217;s concerns, highlighting the fact that \u200dHamas continues to launch\u2063 countless rockets \u200cinto Israeli\u200b territory, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/3-things-americas-national-interest-demands-after-the-heinous-hamas-attack\/\" title=\"3 Actions America Must Take After the Horrific Hamas Attack\">terrorizing innocent civilians<\/a>. He \u2063emphasized the \u2064importance of distinguishing between the actions of a sovereign state defending \u2063its citizens and those of \u200ba terrorist organization intentionally targeting civilians.<\/p>\n<p>The senator\u200b articulated a clear understanding of the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict \u200cand the need for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sexual-consent-app-idea-draws-criticism-in-australia\/\" title=\"Sexual Consent App Idea Draws Criticism In Australia\">long-term solution<\/a> \u2064that ensures the safety\u200b and security of both Israelis and Palestinians. He stressed the\u200d importance of countering \u2064terrorism in all \u2063its forms and \u200bstanding firmly against organizations like Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio&#8217;s \u200drefusal to bow to the pressure exerted by Benjamin is not surprising,\u2063 considering his \u2062unwavering support for Israel. He has consistently advocated for \u200ba strong \u2063US-Israel alliance \u200band \u200chas been a vocal critic of \u200dany efforts to \u2062delegitimize or\u200b undermine Israel&#8217;s right to exist.<\/p>\n<p>While some \u200cmay argue \u200bthat a ceasefire\u2064 would be the best solution to end the violence, Rubio&#8217;s\u2063 advocacy for Israel&#8217;s right to defend itself must be understood in\u2064 the\u2064 context of the larger conflict. Hamas, recognized as a terrorist organization by numerous countries, has continuously launched thousands of \u200brockets into Israeli territory,\u200b endangering innocent lives. Israel, like any \u2063other sovereign state,\u200c has the\u200d right to protect its citizens and retaliate against such\u200b aggression.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio&#8217;s stance aligns \u2063with the principles of\u2063 self-defense and national security, \u200cwhich\u2064 are \u2064essential\u200d for any country to maintain stability\u200c and protect its citizens.\u200b By \u2062refusing to call \u2064for a \u2062ceasefire, he sends a message of \u200csolidarity to\u200d Israel, \u2063assuring \u200cthem of\u200d American support in \u200dtheir fight\u2063 against terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note \u200cthat Rubio&#8217;s\u200d unwavering support for Israel \u200cdoes not equate to ignoring\u2064 the\u2064 suffering of innocent civilians in \u2064Gaza. \u200dHe acknowledged the tragic loss \u200bof life and has consistently called\u2063 for \u200ba lasting solution\u2063 that addresses the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, he rightly refuses to grant legitimacy or \u200ccompromise with terrorist organizations like Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>This exchange between Senator Marco Rubio and\u200c Medea\u200c Benjamin\u2062 exposes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-steve-bannon-torches-gop-rep-nancy-mace-for-trying-to-send-him-to-prison\/\" title=\"Steve Bannon slams GOP Rep Nancy Mace, aiming to imprison him.\">deep ideological divide<\/a> around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While opinions may differ\u200c on the best path towards peace, Rubio&#8217;s firm stance against \u2064far-left \u200cactivists&#8217; \u2064calls for\u2063 a ceasefire in\u2062 Gaza reflects his \u2064commitment \u2063to upholding the principles of national security and \u2064fighting against \u200dterrorism.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Senator Marco Rubio&#8217;s steadfast support for Israel and his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza demonstrates his unwavering \u2063commitment\u200b to protecting\u2062 American national security interests and countering terrorism.
