Secretary of State Rubio: "The World Is Accepting that It's Normal to Kidnap Babies and Civilians"
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked Friday: "Would the U.S. be open to an agreement with Hamas to get American hostages released separate from the Israeli hostages? Rubio: "We want all the hostages released. We believe they should all be released, okay? And...we're also talking about bodies. And these trades are being made, and they're ridiculous trades. Come on. Four hundred people for three. These are nuts. And on top of that, you see the condition these people are being released in." "Think about what we're talking about here. I mean, we're sitting around as the world is sort of accepting that it's normal and okay for you to go into a place, kidnap babies, kidnap teenagers, kidnap people that have nothing to do with any wars, that are not soldiers, that are not anything, and taking them and putting them in tunnels for almost a year and a half. And we're acting like this is a normal exchange, this is a normal thing that happens. This is an outrage. So, they should all be released." "What Hamas has done is outrageous. It's ridiculous. It's sick. It's disgusting. It should never have happened, and we shouldn't accept it as normal, as a normal negotiation. We're just dealing with some savages. That's it. These are bad people, terrible people, and we need to treat them as such."
