The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro shut down a pro-Palestine supporter on Capitol Hill today who tried to accuse him of supporting genocide against people in Gaza.
And Shapiro’s short and sweet response was pretty glorious.
Shapiro - who, in case you happen to live under a rock in the middle of nowhere, is the Editor in Chief of the Daily Wire, a Jew, and an ardent supporter of Israel - was on Capitol Hill Wednesday to testify before Congress about the unfair bias of advertisers against conservative media organizations thanks to Democrat lawmakers and supposed “fact-checkers” that prop up left-wing media outlets. Which is a whole separate discussion entirely, and one well worth noting.
But during his time on the Hill, Shapiro was also accosted by a woman who berated him for being complicit in Israel’s so-called genocide of Palestinians (known to the rest of us as the Jewish state’s defense against terrorists who slaughtered more than 1,200 of their people before hauling hundreds of men, women, and children into captivity).
Shapiro asked the woman if she “feel[s] good standing in solidarity with the terrorists who innocent Israeli people,” to which she responded that she stands “in solidarity with the Palestinian people who have been murdered,” referring to civilians who’ve lost their lives thanks to Hamas terrorists who use their own civilians as human shields.

Of course, the banshee couldn’t let that simply be that, and continued to shout at Shapiro as he took his leave before turning to the rest of the people in the room and shouting at them for inviting Shapiro to testify in the first place.
Check out the bizarreness:
"Blood is on your hands because you refuse to say that Hamas should surrender. End of story."
