Kamala mourns Palestinians killed in Israeli hostage rescue, ‘very fine people…’

June 10, 2024 | | Print Article

Vice President Kamala Harris said that she’s “mourning” the Palestinians who were killed during an Israeli operation that freed four hostages taken captive by Hamas terrorists.

The four Israelis – Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv – were kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023, the day that Islamist savages slaughtered over 1,200 innocent people during a barbaric raid on civilian areas.

As things often happen during wartime, there was collateral damage in the form of deaths. A toll that according to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, was at least 274 Palestinians killed at the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.

In a Saturday speech to the Michigan Democratic Party in Detroit that was briefly interrupted by a heckler, Harris grieved for the dead who would still be alive had Hamas not taken the hostages to begin with, and refused to free them for eight months.

“Before I begin, I just say a few words about the morning which I know weighs heavily on all of our hearts,” the veep said, according to Fox News.

“On Oct. 7, Hamas committed a brutal massacre of 1,200 innocent people and abducted 250 hostages,” Harris continued. “Thankfully, four of those hostages were reunited with their families tonight. And we mourn all of the innocent lives that have been lost in Gaza, including those tragically killed today.”

“We have been working every day to bring an end to this conflict in a way that ensures Israel is secure, brings home all hostages, ends ongoing suffering for Palestinian people, and ensures that Palestinians can enjoy their right to self-determination, dignity, and freedom,” Harris said. “As President Biden said last week, it is time for this war to end.”

It was more pandering to Michigan Muslims, whose fury at her boss over the lack of a ceasefire will only intensify over the death toll which is being hyped by the media with its typical anti-Israel spin, including CNN which was criticized for saying the hostages were “released” instead of rescued by the IDF.

Harris was slammed by X users, some of who saw her “mourning” the Palestinians as suggesting that there are “very fine people…” on both sides and that she is “rooting” for terrorists.

“The United States is supporting all efforts to secure the release of hostages still held by Hamas, including American citizens. This includes through ongoing negotiations or other means. The hostage release and ceasefire deal that is now on the table would secure the release of all the remaining hostages together with security assurances for Israel and relief for the innocent civilians in Gaza,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement urging support for Biden’s ceasefire deal.
