US Congressman Brian Mast has stated that the children of Gaza, including those who have been killed by Israeli forces, were not innocent.

In a viral video on social media, two CodePink activists confronted the Republican representative from Florida with the question: “You haven’t seen the pictures of all the babies being killed?” “These are not innocent Palestinian civilians," he replied.

When the activists explained that Israel has destroyed more infrastructure in Gaza than was destroyed in the German city of Dresden during World War II, Mast said more infrastructure 'needed to be destroyed' in Gaza.

Mast also made his stance on UNRWA clear, in that he wishes for it to completely dismantled. The congressman has previously served in the Israeli forces, and in October last year, he stood inside the US Congress wearing the Israeli military uniform.
