Full statement:

The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.

      Millions of Palestinians are forced to live under Israeli military rule but are not entitled to citizenship or suffrage. If they were of a different ethnicity (Jewish), they would be given those rights. It’s also not a geographical distinction, settlers in the West Bank are given full rights while Palestinians living nearby are not.

            Elect a group of far right religious criminals to take over your government, cancel all future elections, and then spend sixty years plundering your vast natural resources, corrupting all institutions and foreign relations, and sending suicide bombers down here, and we can see about that.

            This didn’t happen over night. Gaza had chance after chance after chance. Even now: well meaning people there could point out the tunnels, point out Hamas.

            No? Okay, they’re obviously comfortable enough with the status quo. Sorry they are brainwashed into being useful idiots for terrorists. Their deaths are clearly on Hamas’s hands.

              These lies would be more believable if Israel wasn’t also settling and committing genocide in the West Bank, despite the lack of Hamas. Or if they hadn’t been committing genocide since before Hamas ever existed.

                Lack of Hamas? The West Bank has Hamas and they have tunnels there, too. The settlements are illegal and should stop.

                Unincorporated lawless irredenta are free to whoever can bring law, however.
