Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Krystal Ball engaged in a heated debate during an episode of “Breaking Points” regarding Israel’s response to Hamas.
Ball falsely claimed that Hamas supports Israel’s right to exist, leading to a back-and-forth exchange.
Kennedy highlighted Hamas’ opposition to negotiation and their support for the annihilation of Israel. (Trending: FBI Bribery Probe Caught Joe Biden’s Brother On Tape)

He also addressed the international aid received by Palestinians and accused Hamas of misusing the funds.
“I think you’re filibustering, you’re not answering the question,” RFK said.
“You’re saying drive a wedge. Well, of course, Israel is trying to drive a wedge.”
Ball then said that the Palestinians desired “a two state solution or some sort of a just and lasting peace.”
“The Palestinians not only have rejected that, but Hamas, its whole purpose was, the reason that Hamas was able to get all this popular support and take over was because of its opposition to any negotiation,” RFK shot back.
“Krystal — I cannot let you. I just cannot let you tell that,” he said. “It’s just not true.”
RFK then pointed to Hamas official Ghazi Hamad statements made in an interview.
“The existence of Israel is illogical,” Hamad said.
“The existence of Israel is what causes all that pain, blood, and tears. It is Israel, not us. We are the victims of the occupation. Period.”
“Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do. On October 7, October 10, October 1,000,000 – everything we do is justified.”
RFK later said the Palestinians are the “most pampered people by international aid organizations in the history of the world.”
Ball pressed that they have been starving for a long period of time.
“And why is that? Why do you blame Israel for that?” RFK said.
“First of all, Israel has no obligation. Israel built 3,000 houses and gave them for greenhouses. That would have made Gaza completely food self-sufficient, gave it to them as a gift.”
“Offered to rebuild the port of Gaza to make it the Singapore of the West. Hamas said, ‘No, we don’t want you’re money. We don’t want you’re ideas.’”
“And what did they do? The international aid agencies have given Hamas, have given Gaza more than 10 times per capita what we gave to rebuild all of Europe after the Marshall Plan,” he added.
“They’ve gotten $8,300 per capita, every person in Gaza. We rebuilt Europe with $621 per capita in Europe, and we rebuilt it.”
“What did they do with that money? Instead of using it to make this, you know, Gaza this beautiful country with white sand beaches. It should be a paradise.”
“Hamas said, ‘we don’t want that.’ They take virtually all the money and they steal it. So the top five, the top five leaders of Hamas are billionaires. Ismail Haniyeh has $5 billion, according to Forbes.”
Ball once more attempted to interject.
“Let me just finish. You are making a statement that is just wrong,” RFK said.
“It’s not Israel’s fault that Gaza is poverty stricken. Gaza should be one of the wealthiest states on the Mediterranean.”
Ball said Israel “controls everything” and that America is financially backing the bombing of Gaza civilians.
“Krystal. Krystal. Krystal, why are you insisting on blaming Israel? Why don’t you blame Hamas?” he pressed.
“You know what most of our tax dollars have gone for? The Iron Dome, which is a way of not invading Gaza.”
“Our country and Israel, for 16 years, have expended this huge amount of money to try not to go into Gaza, while Gaza sent 2,000 rockets a year, suicide bombers, and of course Israel —”
Ball cut in once again.
“Listen, if Mexico attacked us and we built a fence. Would you blame us for caging in Mexico?” he continued.
“Everything in your mind is telling you to blame Israel, instead of blaming Hamas.”
