Ben Shapiro calls Palestinian children “terrorists”

Ben Shapiro, an American lawyer and conservative political commentator, said on Wednesday that all Palestinian women and children are “terrorists”.

In a video posted on his account on X, Shapiro talked about the hostage deal between Israel and Hamas and how it will help in the release of terrorists.

“Israel will also release some 150 Palestinian terrorists who are women and minors.” he said.

“In other words, a democratic government is trading terrorists for innocent women and children,” he added.

Israel, the “democratic government”, has been illegally occupying Palestinian lands since 1967.

In just 48 days, it killed more than 20,000 innocent civilians, including 60+ of the Israeli hostages held in Gaza by Hamas militant group.

Shapiro has a long history of racism and discrimination against Palestinians and Arabs saying that they “like to bomb crap and live in open sewage,” in a post on X in 2010.

In this post he also called for the building of more illegal settlements on Palestinian lands.
