No. 2 House Democrat Katherine Clark calls Gaza war a "genocide" [View all]

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) referred to Israel's war in Gaza as a "genocide" during an event in her district on Thursday, according to a video clip obtained by Axios.



Driving the news: Clark made the remark as she was confronted by pro-Palestinian protesters at an event hosted by Quaker group Friends Meeting at Cambridge.

"We each have to continue to have an open heart about how ... how we take action to in time to make a difference," Clark said in the clip.

"Whether that is stopping the starvation and genocide and destruction of Gaza, or whether that means we are working together to stop the redistricting that is going on, taking away the vote from people."
