Part 4/7:
The speaker dismisses the logic behind Husk's position, emphasizing the brutality inflicted by Hamas, the militant group controlling Gaza, which has perpetuated a brutal war, killed tens of thousands of its own people, and continues to hold hostages—both alive and deceased. They argue that offering recognition or rewards to Hamas would be tantamount to rewarding terrorism and ignoring the atrocities committed.
The speaker points out the moral and strategic inconsistency in rewarding a group responsible for such horrors, especially given that Hamas's actions are the primary obstacle to peace and stability in the region. They describe the proposal of recognizing Palestine as "ludicrous," given the current state of the conflict and Hamas’s control.
