"I've seen the footage of shredded children's bodies," the activist told Ogles. "That's my taxpayer dollars that are going to bomb those kids."

"You know what? So, I think we should kill 'em all, if that makes you feel better," Ogles responded. "Hamas and the Palestinians have been attacking Israel for 20 years. It's time to pay the piper."

But the text quote isn't accurate. Watch the video. After he says "I think we should kill em all if that makes you feel better" then he says "everybody in Hamas"

He's responding to "I've seen shredded children's bodies" and he says "I think we should kill em all" which is a horrific response... Maybe he then decides to fix his statement or clarify and he says "everybody in Hamas" but either way that's what he says

Kinda sounds like the asshat in Texas I think, "the only good Democrat is a dead one."

The crowd cheers

"... Before the media picks up on that, I meant politically dead."

Yeah yeah... Well the people cheering definitely didn't think that when they cheered it on.

Gotta watch out for those 5-year-old Hamas members, I suppose /s

The UNRWA curriculum doesn't include weapons training until age 6 according to the syllabus.

I just watched the video. He clearly says " Hamas and Palestine have been attacking Israel for 20 years". He is conflating Hamas and ordinary citizens and saying they all deserve to die. Why are you lying about what I just heard?

Are you transcribing the end of the video that I didn't include? We were talking about a specific part of the video so I transcribed that part and then stopped watching it. You sound like a troll
