    He said none of those things, only the tired old “Israel has a right to defend itself.” He also supported the Iran nuclear deal and has been generally supportive of the Democrat party dialing back support.

    I’m sticking with ambiguous.

      The question was if he would support a preemptive strike from Israel on Iran and he answered emphatically yes. He then rambled about how important “our allies” are for 2 minutes.

        He didn’t emphatically say yes to anything. He deflected, like a typical Democrat. If his public position on Israel clears the bar for “pro-genocide”, then I guess we’re fucked, because then there’s hardly a single politician in America that’s not pro-genocide.

          There are roughly 18 in the senate, as of the most recent vote. It’s definitely far from the public, or at least I would have liked to think that before Donald fucking Trump got reelected.
