WATCH: JD Vance responds to comedian who claims Israel is committing ‘genocide’

Vice President JD Vance pushed back on comedian Theo Von’s claim that Israel is killing children and massacring Gazans, clarifying that Israel is engaged in a war of self-defense triggered by Hamas’ October 7th invasion and emphasizes efforts to avoid civilian casualties.

JD Vance shuts down the pro-Palestinian narrative and legacy fake news media trying to call the war in Gaza a "genocide":

"Israel was hit hard. They’re trying to eliminate a terrorist group to end the conflict and restore peace. That’s not genocide—it’s self-defense." pic.twitter.com/mXtAP6MBdv
