WASHINGTON – Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) on Monday railed against the Harris-Biden administration’s response. Attack on Israel on October 7 A year earlier – saying that the deadly Hamas operation was an “attack on America”.
The Republican vice presidential candidate said, “October 7 was not just an attack on Israel, and it was not just an attack on Jews, it was an attack on Americans – and every American with common sense and principle should reject it.” “Stand with Israel” rally on the National Mall.
40 year old Vance also directly attacked Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden. For his failure to secure the release of dozens of American and Israeli hostages. Who have been kept hostage by Hamas in Gaza Strip for the last 12 months.
Vance said, “It’s outrageous that we have an American President and Vice President who did nothing to bring the hostages home”, asking Harris to use her “authority” to do so.
Both Biden and Harris have been working to negotiate a ceasefire and hostage agreement between Hamas and Israel, but to no avail – many observers are not confident an agreement will be reached before the president leaves office on January 20.
Monday’s event at the mall was sponsored by the Philos Project, a nonprofit that supports Christian and Jewish engagement.
Philos executive director Luke Moon said they had secured a permit to hold the rally on the National Mall on Monday “so that the Hamas people don’t get it.”
In his remarks, Vance also outlined how the administration led by former President Donald Trump will protect American Jews, stop “funding” to anti-Semitic “fanatics” and bring home American hostages from around the world.
Vance said the policies would include stripping “accreditation and federal support of colleges” that do not protect pro-Israel students.
“We want to give Israel the right and the ability to finish what Hamas started,” he said. “Israel didn’t start it, Hamas did, but Israel is going to end it.”
