Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Wednesday that Palestinian militant group Hamas and its supporters, “like [Mahmoud] Khalil,” don’t want peace and an end to the 17-month war in Gaza.
Israel launched airstrikes in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, killing more than 400, after Hamas refused the Jewish state’s requests to change the ceasefire agreement, which had been in place since January.
“I support the American position,” Dershowitz said on “Newsline.” “The American position is that this is completely Hamas’ fault, that Hamas had an option. They could have handed over five or six or seven live hostages in exchange for probably they would get hundreds of prisoners. But Hamas doesn’t want peace. Hamas wants continuing warfare, and so do its supporters, like Khalil in the United States, who are also being deported. So, we have a fifth column in the United States of people who hate America or hate Israel, hate Jews, and many of them, like Khalil, may very well have obtained their visa and their green cards fraudulently and illegally.”
