Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) was confronted by far-Left Code Pink protesters this week over his support for Israel, and he told them exactly what was on his mind.
Hawley faced off the protesters, telling them they were “pro-terrorist” saying they would welcome a “second Holocaust” if they had their way.
“Don’t give us your talking points,” one female protester yelled at the Senator.
“Bulls***, you are unbelievable.”
“The state of Israel has the right to defend itself,” the senator responded.
The protestor responded by telling Hawley that what Israel is doing is “not a defense” before demanding a “ceasefire.”
On Code Pink’s official website, they call for a “Ceasefire in Gaza…to end Israel’s ongoing genocide.”
Last October, Hamas terrorists carried out brutal attacks in Israel, killing about 1,200 people.
The terrorist group also took hundreds of hostages, with more than a fifth of those hostages being killed.
Hawley told a protester that he would not call for a ceasefire “until Hamas is eliminated.”
“Hamas will never be eliminated,” she responded.
The Senator then accused the protester of being “anti-Semitic.”
“If you guys had your way, there’d be a second Holocaust, that’s what you want. Pro-terrorist.”
Hawley posted the confrontation to X:
“Here’s my message to anyone saying Israel doesn’t have a right to defend itself: you are pro-terrorist.”

Following the deadly Hamas attacks, leftist college campuses erupted with support for the terrorist group,
Not long after, a joint statement from dozens of groups of Harvard University students blamed Israel for the violence.
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine wrote.
“Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum. … The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.”
Hawley suggested that the Department of Justice investigate who is funding the protesters.
“What I want to know is who’s funding these student groups,” Hawley said.
“I hope the DOJ is investigating where the money is coming from. Are there terror groups who are part of these networks who are infiltrating our campuses?”
“This is crazy stuff that we’re seeing on these campuses, and for these administrators to have their hand out and take federal money, taxpayer money, and (on) the same dime be silent or silently condone this kind of terrorism, it is just grotesque.”
