Nikki Haley was sympathetic to plans to house up to 1 million Palestinian refugees in the US, as well as others from Middle Eastern “terrorist” states, during a CNN interview she made in October. Now, as the New Hampshire Presidential Primary approaches, Haley has hardened her stance and is calling for “pro-Hamas countries” like Egypt and Qatar to house the Palestinians displaced by Israel’s invasion of Gaza, which Haley enthusiastically supports.
During a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, Nikki Haley called not just for bringing Palestinian refugees into the United States, but Iranian refugees as well, who haven’t been displaced yet, but presumably will be if Nikki Haley’s foreign policy ever hits the Middle East.
Residents of these countries, Haley said, “have terrorists overseeing them,” but don’t want to, and it should be no problem for the US to “separate civilians from the terrorists.”
It’s “what we have to do,” said Nikki Haley.
“You have to realize that whether we’re talking about Gazans and Palestinians, half of them at the time that I was there didn’t want to be under Hamas’s rule. They didn’t want to have terrorists overseeing them. They knew that they were living a terrible life because of Hamas,” Haley told Tapper in the CNN interview.
“You have the other half that supported Hamas and wanted to be a part of that.”
“We see that with Iran too. The Iranian people don’t want to be under that Iranian regime.”
“There are so many of these people who want to be free from this terrorist rule. They want to be free from all of that. And America’s always been sympathetic to the fact that you can separate civilians from terrorists. And that’s what we have to do.”
