After Hamas infiltrated Israel from Gaza on Oct. 7, killing hundreds of civilians and taking others hostage, Sen. Tim Sc
U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., speaks at the California Republican Party Convention, Friday, Sept. 29, 2023, in Anaheim, Calif. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., was referring to the State Department’s Palestinian Affairs outpost in Jerusalem, which condemned the Hamas attacks while urging"all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks."
Some observers were quick to criticize the post, seeing it as a betrayal of Israel’s right to counter a terror assault. The U.S. has staunchly defended Israel since the nation’s independence in 1948. The U.S. has also sought, to one degree or another, to broker peace between Israel and its neighbors, including Palestinians.a screenshot of the tweet, which had a 3:24 a.m. timestamp. The tweet’s"all sides" framing drew immediate heat from critics in the U.S.
From its first public statement on Oct. 7, the day the Hamas attacks began, the White House itself expressed a consistent message of support for Israel and its right to respond to the attacks. These repeated statements contradict the assertion that the Biden administration"wanted Israel to stand down."
The statement contains an element of truth, because the State Department’s Palestinian Affairs outpost in Jerusalem posted a statement in the attack’s early hours that urged"all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks." Within hours, the post was taken down.
