Mike Lawler: No One Is Demanding Russia for Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine, Why Subject Israel to a Totally Different Standard?

EXCERPT:

LAWLER: "We just see this totally differently. The fact is, Gaza would not be in this situation but not for Hamas and the actions they took, not just on October 7th, but what they have done systemically over nearly 20 years of being in power, to use their own people as human shields. The suffering of the Palestinian people is the direct result of the leadership of Hamas and, in Judea and Samaria, of the Palestinian Authority. The fact is, no one, no one is demanding that Russia provide the same level of aid to the Ukrainians. No one. Why is it that Israel is being subjected to a totally different standard when we talk about conducting a war? As President Bush said right after October 7th, the world stands with Israel. The moment they defend themselves, the world will turn. And that is exactly what we have seen. This is rooted not just in anti-Semitism and Jew hatred. This idea of the oppressor versus the oppressed, the oppressor of the Palestinian people is Hamas. And I will say this, and I think this is important for folks to understand. The world today in the Middle East, we are in a far better place today than we were prior to October 7th. And the reason is because Hamas and Hezbollah have been largely decimated. Assad‘s regime has fallen. Iran‘s air defenses are weakened. Their nuclear program is basically obliterated. And the fact is, that wouldn‘t have happened if Bibi Netanyahu did not conduct this war in the manner in which he did."
