Dem Rep. Slotkin on Israel-Hamas War: ‘We Want to Make Sure that You Don’t Create More Terrorists by the Way that You Act’

SCARBOROUGH So what would ░░░░░░░░ suggest the administration do ░░░░░░░░ mean obviously Israel faced ░░░░░░░░ horrific attack It d ░░░░░░░░ the equivalent of 45 ░░░░░░░░ 50 000 Americans being ░░░░░░░░ if that had happened ░░░░░░░░ September 11th Obviously they ░░░░░░░░ going to act We ░░░░░░░░ the same thing wrongly ░░░░░░░░ Iraq but also in ░░░░░░░░ I say wrongly we ░░░░░░░░ in for the wrong ░░░░░░░░ But you take our ░░░░░░░░ against ISIS and look ░░░░░░░░ a place like Mosul ░░░░░░░░ mean that was street ░░░░░░░░ street combat It was ░░░░░░░░ only way to root ░░░░░░░░ ISIS So what should ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration be telling ░░░░░░░░ Israeli government to do ░░░░░░░░ they lost the equivalent ░░░░░░░░ 45 000 people to ░░░░░░░░ terrorist attack SLOTKIN Yeah ░░░░░░░░ obviously this one rings ░░░░░░░░ for me because I ░░░░░░░░ you know three tours ░░░░░░░░ the military in Iraq ░░░░░░░░ I ve seen this ░░░░░░░░ close I don t ░░░░░░░░ anyone is questioning Israel ░░░░░░░░ a right to respond ░░░░░░░░ the perpetrators of this ░░░░░░░░ attack It was a ░░░░░░░░ grievous attack But I ░░░░░░░░ our experience after 9 ░░░░░░░░ is actually instructive here ░░░░░░░░ I mean we had ░░░░░░░░ took a second we ░░░░░░░░ a bombing campaign in ░░░░░░░░ and began over a ░░░░░░░░ long hunt for the ░░░░░░░░ of this attack We ░░░░░░░░ went ahead and occupied ░░░░░░░░ and invaded and occupied ░░░░░░░░ And I think if ░░░░░░░░ ask most Americans in ░░░░░░░░ they would have said ░░░░░░░░ you know a bombing ░░░░░░░░ going after the perpetrators ░░░░░░░░ s one option that ░░░░░░░░ have made more sense ░░░░░░░░ opposed to 20 years ░░░░░░░░ war So I think ░░░░░░░░ for those of us ░░░░░░░░ served in places like ░░░░░░░░ and Ramadi we just ░░░░░░░░ to make sure there ░░░░░░░░ an end game that ░░░░░░░░ not fantasy that is ░░░░░░░░ real We want to ░░░░░░░░ sure that you don ░░░░░░░░ create more terrorists by ░░░░░░░░ way that you act ░░░░░░░░ we want to make ░░░░░░░░ that we get the ░░░░░░░░ who perpetrated this attack ░░░░░░░░ can want all those ░░░░░░░░ all at the same ░░░░░░░░ Sometimes being a good ░░░░░░░░ and a good partner ░░░░░░░░ telling those hard lessons ░░░░░░░░ our own experience.”
