Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy expressed a difference of opinion with Nikki Haley, who called for Israel to “finish” Hamas following their attack on the nation. While Ramaswamy agrees that Hamas should not exist, he disagreed with Haley’s approach, stating that shouting “finish them” is not a viable solution to a complex issue. He emphasized that foreign policy is a matter of the real world, not a video game.
Ramaswamy condemned the attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah, describing them as barbaric and medieval, and emphasized that Israel has the right to exist and defend itself. He expressed his support for Israel and called on the United States to do the same.
Nikki Haley faced criticism for her “finish them” statement, with some accusing her of inciting more violence during a time when other nations were attempting to de-escalate tensions. Despite the criticism, Haley reiterated her stance that Hamas should be eliminated, emphasizing the need to stand with Israel.
In a separate tweet, Haley described Hamas as a bloodthirsty terrorist organization backed by Iran and expressed support for Israel’s right to defend its citizens from terror. She called for universal condemnation of the reports of casualties coming out of Israel.
