Van Jones: Abdul El-Sayed’s Position of Total Arms Embargo on Israel Is Offensive Because Obama Was Involved in Creating the Iron Dome
EXCERPT:
JONES: “I can get why you would say, no more aid, they got to pay their own way. That’s not Abdul’s position. Abdul’s position is a total and complete arms embargo against the state of Israel, including defensive weapons. That’s an insane position. That says, if Israel wants to pay for interceptors to stop a rocket coming from Iran or coming from Hezbollah or coming from Hamas, an interceptor, we should deny them the right to buy the interceptors to knock down rockets going at Israeli children, women, men, babies. That’s an insane position And by the way, it offends me because that’s — you know, Barack Obama was a part of creating that Iron Dome. Barack Obama was a part of creating those interceptors. Barack Obama thought that the Israeli people were in such a tough neighborhood, they needed to be able to knock down rockets. So you’re telling me you’re smarter than Barack Obama? You have better ideas about foreign policy than Barack Obama? And you want to de-plug and defund and take away Israel’s, half the world’s Jews' ability to defend themselves?"
