"Pompeo received applause before he then added, I should be a little more precise. There were victims in Gaza, right? It's true. There are civilian casualties in every war that's ever been fought, but the victims were the people of the nation-state of Israel. The aggressor was the Iranian regime and the proxy of Hamas, and we need to make sure that the history books reflect that."
"In November 2023, a month after the Oct. 7 attacks against Israel, Pompeo called for the complete annihilation of Hamas in Gaza, claiming, They're just about killing. They're just about destruction. They're just about wanton rape They don't value human life in the way we do. More than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's war against Gaza since October 2023, with a further 170,000 injured, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health."
A pro-Israel conference included a call to ensure history books portray Israelis as the victims rather than Gaza civilians. The call framed the Iranian regime and Hamas as the aggressors and stressed that civilian casualties in Gaza should not be cast as the primary victims. The message urged everyday conversations with children and grandchildren to pass on a serious, thoughtful, complete, and moral account. Earlier remarks from November 2023 advocated the complete annihilation of Hamas, characterizing the group as committed to killing, destruction, and sexual violence. Reported Gaza figures cited more than 70,000 Palestinians killed and 170,000 injured since October 2023.
