In a recent interview, Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas, a member of the House Intelligence Committee and retired Navy SEAL, shared his views on President Biden's remarks regarding Israel's response to the conflict in Gaza. President Biden had described Israel's actions as 'over-the-top' and expressed concern for the innocent people, especially women and children, in need of help.
Congressman Crenshaw acknowledged that President Biden's characterization was not entirely wrong but explained that Israel's response was justified given the circumstances. He highlighted the concept of a 'disproportionate response,' noting that if a similar situation occurred in the United States, the country would not engage in a proportionate response. Citing a hypothetical scenario where 48,000 people were murdered, including instances of violence against women and children, the congressman emphasized that the U.S. would spare no effort to win the war and prevent such atrocities from happening again.
