In a disturbing statement that sparked outrage, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Mark Kimmitt declared that the current equation in Gaza is: “The people for the hostages.”
His comment came during a live interview on Al Arabiya TV, prompting a strong reaction from anchor Rasha Nabil, who interrupted him:
“That’s injustice! The world has become a jungle if that’s how it works!”
🎯 A Whole Population for a Few Hostages?
Kimmitt’s words c
learly reflect the moral double standards surrounding the Israeli war on Gaza. Instead of advocating for an end to the daily killings of civilians, the statement justifies the bombardment as a price to be paid for the release of Israeli captives.
This is a stunning admission that Israel is not acting alone — but under international political cover, especially from the United States.
📉 Outrage and Shock on Social Media
The clip quickly went viral, sparking widespread anger. Many saw it as proof that global powers condone collective punishment in Gaza.
Palestinian and international voices asked:
“Has the value of Palestinian lives dropped so low they can be used as bargaining chips?”
📌 A Palestinian Response: Our Lives Are Not Negotiable
From a Palestinian perspective, the statement is an insult to basic human dignity. It shows how mass suffering is being normalized, as long as it serves Israeli interests.
Palestinians reject the idea that their lives can be traded in negotiations.
They stress that freedom and justice cannot come through sacrificing the innocent.
