The fighting between Hamas and Israel started in the early hours of Saturday 7 October, 2023 after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing hundreds of Israelis and taking several others hostage.
Israel’s retaliatory actions against Hamas also resulted to the killing of several innocent civilians in the city of Gaza.
Even, an entire family of Al Jazeera Gaza bureau chief was wiped out in the fighting.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dahdouh, lost every member of his family – his wife, son, daughter and grandson.
Fani-Kayode clearly stated, “I stand with Israel in this horrendous conflict”.
About a member of the American House of Reps, Fani-Kayode said, “I have never had much respect for Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, who I consider to be a raving and flaming leftist/ liberal and anti-Israel.”
Fani-Kayode said: “I stand with Israel in this horrendous conflict and I have never had much respect for Ilhan Abdullahi Omar who is a member of the American House of Reps and who I consider to be a raving and flaming leftist/ liberal and anti-Israel.
“Despite that I totally and completely agree with what she has said in this short video.
“She has spoken with courage and passion and she is absolutely right: we must condemn the slaughter of Palestinian women and children in the same way that we have condemned the horrendous mass murder and butchery of Israeli women and children and the savage attack on the Jewish State on Oct. 7th.
“Our fight is with Hamas and all the other Islamist terrorist organisations in the world and not the Palestinian people.
“We cannot lose our humanity and applaud the barbaric genocide, wholesale slaughter and mass murder of Palestinian women and children which we are witnessing on our television screens every day and night in the name of supporting Israel.
“There is no question about the fact that Hamas ought to be held accountable for its murdeous actions and totally eradicated but that does not mean that the Palestinan people ought to be subjected to war crimes, crimes against humanity or a heartless policy of ethinic cleansing in order to achieve that.
“What is happening in Gaza is not just unacceptable but also literally heartbreaking!
“More than enough innocent blood has been spilt and all men and women of goodwill on both sides of the conflict and divide must sue for peace and insist on a ceasefire.”
