CNN’s Tapper Blasts Racist Comments by Israeli Cabinet Minister Who Called All Gazans ‘Nazis’
Bezalel Smotrich includes thousands of young children that category
CNN host Jake Tapper called out racist remarks by a member of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government against the population of embattled Gaza.
Bezalel Smotrich, the far-right and extremist Israeli finance minister labeled all 2 million Palestinians in Gaza as “Nazis.”
Israel is conducting a brutal and bloody military campaign in Gaza, in retaliation for the attacks Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, 2023.
At least 23,210 people killed and more than 59,100 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from October 7 attack stands at 1,139.
The Palestinian dead include thousands of children and women.
Tapper on Monday called out the comments made by Smotrich, in Hebrew and originally shown on Israeli TV.
“A Jewish settlement should be established in the territory of the Gaza Strip so that there will be a Jewish presence there for a long time, so that terrorism does not grow there,” Smotrich said. “If not, there are 2 million Nazis in Gaza who want to destroy us when they get up every morning, and we will wake up in 10 or 15 years to a new October 7.”
Tapper was unequivocal in his response to those remarks.
“Two million is, of course, the population of Gaza. So, take that in for a moment. Two million ‘Nazis’ in Gaza? So, babies, two-year-olds, three-year-olds, old ladies, all of them Nazis?” the CNN host asked.
