INTERVIEWER: “Hamas doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to exist.”
U.S. MARINE O’Keefe: “You know what that sounds like to me? That sounds like the African National Congress and Nelson Mandela refusing to accept apartheid, to recognize apartheid.
I say that Israel, if it wants be any kind of genuine partner in any kind of peace, needs to destroy its whole ideology of Zionism – Zionism that makes other people Goyim, who do not deserve to be in the Holy Land – that’s the real problem.
If Israel will embrace every people, Palestinians equally, human rights respected across the board, then I would challenge Hamas to change its charter and say, We will recognize Israel.”
JIMMY DORE: “Wait a minute, didn’t Hamas already change their charter? Kirk, I checked and Hamas did change their charter and they do recognize Israel.”
KIRK: “Yes, I know that. I was challenged by Michael Rappaport to read Hamas’ charter and I did.”
