Bill Ackman Backs RFK Jr's Stance On Israel's 'Moral War' With Hamas: 'Don't See...Any Choice But To Destroy,' Says Presidential Hopeful

Renowned investor Bill Ackman recently shared a post highlighting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s stance on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

What Happened: On Monday, Ackman shared a snippet of an interview of Kennedy Jr. with @QTRResearch. In the interview, Kennedy Jr. expressed his views on the Israel-Hamas conflict, particularly in the context of recent U.S. decisions and the role of Hamas.

Kennedy Jr. stated, “I think Israel’s war is a moral war… And, you know, self-defense means destroying Hamas."

He further added that Hamas does not have a negotiating position in the ongoing war and that it has used previous ceasefires to regroup, rearm, hoist the banner, and then make another surprise attack.

“Well, I don’t see that Israel has any choice but to destroy Hamas,” he added.

Why It Matters: This comes in the wake of the UN General Assembly’s decision to grant Palestine new rights and privileges. The resolution was approved by a vote of 143-9 with 25 abstentions. The U.S., along with Israel and seven other countries, voted against the resolution.

Additionally, the Biden administration reportedly put a hold on a weapons shipment to Israel, amid growing concerns over potential Israeli military action in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Kennedy Jr., who is currently an independent presidential candidate, has been criticized for his controversial stances, which could potentially draw votes away from the GOP in the upcoming November elections.
