Beto O'Rourke Insanely Blames Israeli Military For Hamas Terror Attack

Beto O'Rourke went off the rails during a discussion about Israel with Bill Maher.

The Israelis and the country's military continue to hammer and hunt Hamas terrorists following the October 7th terrorist attack. Roughly 1,200 people were killed in the massacre, and a bloody and brutal war has been raging in Gaza with tensions on fire in the region ever since.

No matter where you stand politically, most rational and smart people know who is responsible for the killing of innocent civilians:

Hamas terrorists.

Beto O'Rourke, who seems to really enjoy losing political races, believes Israel is somehow responsible for the mass slaughter of its civilians.

Beto O'Rourke makes absurd claim about Israel.

O'Rourke appeared Friday on "Real Time with Bill Maher," and the topic on the ongoing war came up. He wasted no time before making himself look like a fool.

"There are ways you can prosecute a war. It doesn't need to be the complete destruction of an entire country," the failed former politician said during the discussion.

Maher wasn't overly impressed with the claim, and quickly fired back with, "And you know this better than the Israeli Defense Force?"

That's when O'Rourke made a truly stunning claim. The former Congressman from Texas said the IDF and Benjamin Netanyahu are to blame. Yes, Beto O'Rourke thinks the IDF and Netanyahu are the reason the October 7th attack happened.

"Well, listen. It's the Israeli Defense Force. It's the Prime Minister who allowed this to happen in the first place. Who are pursuing something right now that I actually think is going to make Israel weaker in the long term. I, too, care about the country. I don't think this is the right way to ensure safety and security," O'Rourke alleged.

A truly wild and insane claim from O'Rourke. Does he have proof the IDF and Netanyahu let the October 7th massacre "happen" or is he just running his mouth?

If you're going to allege that the Israeli military and the country's civilian leadership let the October 7th attack happen, then provide some concrete proof. Otherwise, don't casually float that theory on a very popular TV show.

It's borderline reaching the level of 9/11 truther insanity. When people don't have good answers or concrete proof, they start throwing out wild conspiracy theories. Alleging anyone within Israel let October 7th is a textbook example of someone having no idea what the hell they're talking about.

The only people responsible for October 7th and the war that has followed are members of Hamas. The terrorist group targeted innocent civilians in the most horrific ways possible. In response, the Israelis launched a massive war. It's the reality of the situation, and Hamas is welcome to surrender at any time. Instead, the terrorists hide behind the civilian population of Gaza like the cowards they are. Let me know if you agree at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
