Shabbos Kestenbaum: I Unilaterally Reject There Was a Genocide in Gaza

EXCERPT:

PREJEAN: "One last follow-up. Since we’ve mentioned Israel a total of 17 times, are you willing to condemn what Israel has done in Gaza?"
KESTENBAUM: "No, because I unilaterally reject — hang on — I unilaterally reject that it’s not a genocide. The only genocide ever carried out was on October 7th when Hamas tried killing every man, woman and child they could possibly find."
PREJEAN: "70,000 innocent civilians killed?"
KESTENBAUM: "Hang on. Let me respond."
PREJEAN: "You won’t condemn that? Just on the record?"
KESTENBAUM: "No, I — "

PREJEAN: "I think it’s important we have this discussion."
KESTENBAUM: "I agree. I’m happy to answer."
