On a recent episode of This Past Weekend with Theo Von, U.S. Vice President JD Vance was challenged over the U.S. role in the Israel-Gaza conflict, particularly regarding allegations of genocide.
During the conversation, Von expressed horror at the imagery emerging from Gaza, saying, “We’re seeing all these videos of people like picking up pieces of their children… it feels like a massacre… I’ve called it a genocide.” He questioned U.S. complicity, pointing to military aid sent to Israel: “As a regular guy, you’re like, well, I’m paying these taxes and they’re going towards this.”
Vance, while acknowledging the heartbreak, rejected the use of the term “genocide.” “Do I think it’s a genocide? No,” he said. “I don’t think the Israelis are purposely trying to go in and murder every Palestinian. They got hit hard, and they’re trying to destroy a terrorist organization. War is hell.”
Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss discuss Vance’s mealymouthed responses and why he’s dead wrong about whether Gaza is a genocide.
