Rick Perry Weighs In On Israel-Gaza Conflict: Can't Understand Why U.S. Would Ever Criticize Israel
Now that it's becoming increasingly obvious he's running for president again in 2016, Governor Rick Perry has been voicing his opinion on all matters lately, including now the war conflict occurring in Israel and Gaza.
During his weekend interview with CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley, instead of lament the loss of innocent lives lost and wish for a quick, immediate resolution to this war, Perry turned the conflict into a partisan opportunity to attack the president. Because, Obama.
During the interview, Perry attempted to suggest President Obama and his administration were not supportive of Israel.
Perry criticized Obama's lament of civilian loss as being too critical of Israel -- twisting Obama's words to make it seem he was against Israel trying to protect its own citizens.
"I don't understand why this administration would criticize Israel for trying to protect their citizens and their country from a group who have clearly stated that they will not be satisfied until Israel is wiped off the face of the Earth. We need to be standing up with Israel, sending a strong message to those in the Middle East that would attack this democracy, that we are their ally, and they can count on us," said Perry.
