WASHINGTON DC (WTAQ-WLUK) – Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI 8th District) was interviewed on Fox News Tuesday to discuss the unprecedented terrorist attacks Hamas unleashed on Israel over the weekend.
“It’s heartbreaking, it’s horrific… just the barbarism on display. We’re seeing the face of evil,” Gallagher said. “Let’s remember that there should be no moral equivalence here. Hamas is an evil terrorist organization that launched a war against Israel and those who seek to blame Israel just don’t understand good versus evil or right versus wrong.”
Gallagher stressed the necessity of the United States supporting Israel “to the hilt” and said that in order for Congress to do so, a new Speaker of the House must be chosen as soon as possible.
“If this teaches us anything, it’s that we don’t have the luxury of withdrawing from the world stage. We don’t have the luxury of disarming. The world needs America to be strong, and the best change for peace is through strength,” Gallagher said.
In the interview, Gallagher expressed heavy criticism against the Biden administration’s unwillingness “to abandon its broaden Middle East policy” and called it “the source of all chaos in the region.”
“Increasingly, we have an axis of authoritarian powers that are arrayed against us,” Gallagher said, warning of the alliance between China, Russia and Iran against Western interests. “The goal is really simple. It’s to destroy global American leadership and sever our alliances and partnerships. And if you don’t see that forming, I would submit that you’re not paying attention to what’s happening on the world stage.”
The violence in the middle east is now in its 5th day.
