Dean Phillips vs. the Squad

Dean Phillips consented to an interview with CNN's Poppy Harlow. During the interview, Rep. Phillips advocated for Israel's right to defend itself against invaders. Harlow then "pointed out that members of the Democratic 'Squad' in Congress disagree with this position. She asked Phillips to respond to a tweet from fellow Minnesota Democrat, Rep. Ilhan Omar, calling for the U.S. to end military aid to Israel."

To most clear-thinking people, the right to defend one's self and their family is a natural right that doesn't need defending. That's why the Constitution's Bill of Rights includes the Second Amendment. The text of the Second Amendment says "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Since this right existed before this nation was created and before the U.S. government existed, this is considered part of natural law, meaning that government can't take the right away since government didn't give us this right. Rep. Phillips replied to Ms. Harlow:

Phillips retorted that supporting Israel should be clear as day, responding, "I will say that there is right and wrong, and it’s black and white to me right now. We have to support Israel."

Alan Dershowitz isn't putting up with the demonstrators that think it's ok for Hamas to behead babies and other people:

The Democrat again appealed to supporting Israel amidst Hamas's brutality against babies, children and women. "Anybody who has seen what Hamas has done, anybody who knows what the charter reads, has to make a choice," he added. "I know reasonable people can disagree. I don’t think that’s a reasonable proposition."

Phillips argued that supporting Israel doesn't mean you can't be empathetic to the suffering of civilians on both sides of the war. But he called out progressive members of his party who had voiced support for protests where pro-Palestinian marchers displayed "clear and sickening" antisemitism.

What Hamas did to kibbutzes near Gaza is the personification of barbarity:

The Israel Defense Forces took a team of foreign press to the site Tuesday to document the slaughter, including the killing of children, women and senior citizens.

"I've never seen anything like this in my career, never in 40 years of service. This something I never imagined," Israeli Maj. Gen. Itai Veruv told reporters. "It’s not a battlefield. It’s a massacre. It's something I’ve never seen in my life. You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers in the bedroom, in the protection room, and how the terrorists killed them."

This shouldn't be a right vs. left thing. It should be a right vs. wrong thing. This is the right thing to do:
