White House spokesperson John Kirby vehemently denounced the statement made by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir suggesting that President Joe Biden favors the stance of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar over that of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, labelling it as “offensive.”
“I can’t think of anything more offensive or incorrect,” Kirby told Channel 12 News correspondent Yonit Levy. “The President has been clear since the 7th of October when Mr. Sinwar, and I’m glad we’re talking about him by name, when he decided to violate a ceasefire that was in place on the 6th of October and slaughtered 1,200 Israelis,” he continued.
“From that moment on, President Biden has been in full support of the Israeli people and the Israeli state’s right and responsibility to defend itself and its citizens from any further attack. Hamas has made clear that they’d like nothing better than to conduct another slaughter like they did on the 7th of October, and that’s why we’re continuing to support in their self-defense needs,” he said.
Ben-Gvir said in an interview with the New York Times published yesterday, “Presently, Biden prefers the line of Rashida Tlaib and Sinwar to the line of Benjamin Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir.”
“I would have expected the president of the United States not to take their line, but rather to take ours,” he said, adding that Biden was “enormously mistaken” in attempting to pressure Israel.
According to Ben-Gvir, Biden has “constantly sought to impose restrictions on Israel and talks about the rights of the other side, who include, I remind you, many terrorists who want to destroy us.”

Aha. But the Hamas “leadership” saying they will slaughter as many Jews as possible at any given times, is not offensive to this cucumber. The hatred the democrats have towards Jewish people is frightening and disturbing.
They’re afraid of Ben-Gvir, the real deal. They’re used to dealing with actors; Netanyahu, Biden, Gallant, etc.
Kirby is quite OK with his government’s total betrayal of Israel, but not so OK with their being called out for it. He has more medals than Karine whatshername, but is as detestable a lowlife as she.
Kirby happens to be a decent individual, quite sympathetic to our cause.
He just happens to work for a rotten enterprise, and gets his wages paid by them (and not by Bibi).
Do you want him to quit his job and be replaced by a Muslim stooge?
We need more Ben Gvirs. A courageous minister who’s also despised by the Israeli leftist elites who’ve brought much heartache.
