MAGA Hat-Wearing Man Asks JD Vance Why Trump Is Supporting Israel's 'Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : A young man donning a red Make America Great Again hat pressed Vice President JD Vance on why Americans should consider Israel the country's "greatest ally," before questioning how the U.S. could send financial aid to a country that engaged in "ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
56% : " The vice president was asked about the US-Israel relationship at a Turning Point USA event at Ole Miss on Wednesday night.
53% : One great recent example, he said, was the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal that Trump spearheaded.
52% : "My attitude is, if we can work with our friends in Israel to make sure Christians have safe access to that site, that's an obvious area of common interest.
51% : "I'm a Christian man, and I'm just confused why there's this notion that we might owe Israel something or that they are our greatest ally or that we have to support this multi-hundred-billion dollar foreign aid package to Israel to cover this -- to quote Charlie Kirk -- ethnic cleansing in Gaza," the young man asked during a question-and-answer segment.
50% : Vance said that, while President Donald Trump has an "America First" agenda, it does not mean it is completely isolationist; the US will still have "alliances" and "work with" Israel and other countries if it is in the best interest of the USA.
48% : "The president of the United States could only get that peace deal done by actually being willing to apply leverage to the state of Israel," Vance said.
48% : " Trump, Vance, and other members of the administration were in Israel earlier this month to celebrate the release of 20 living hostages held by Hamas.
40% : Vance continued: "So when people say that Israel is somehow manipulating or controlling the president of the United States, they are not controlling this president of the United States, which is one of the reasons why we have been able to have some of the success we have had in the Middle East.
23% : But that only happened, Vance said, because Trump was willing to play hardball with Israel.
19% : They were also celebrating the ceasefire deal that came two years after Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel and killed about 1,200 people -- an attack that spurred Israel's war in Gaza.
