Mahmoud Khalil Refuses to Specifically Condemn Hamas When Pressed by CNN: ‘Selective Condemnation Wouldn’t Get Us Anywhere’

EXCERPT:

KHALIL: “Yeah, I simply — I simply asked and protested the war in Palestine. That‘s what I did. That‘s my duty as a Palestinian, as a human being right now, is to ask for the stop of the killing in my home country. And that‘s consistent with who I am. I‘m a firm believer in international law and human rights, and all my values come from that point. It‘s just like — to me, it‘s always, as I said, disingenuous and absurd to ask such questions when literally 62,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel. That‘s why I wouldn‘t really engage in much into such questions on condemnation or not, because selective condemnation is not — wouldn‘t get us anywhere. It‘s just, like, hypocrite, to be honest.”
