The right-wing leader appeared on multiple cable news shows to speak on the current state Israel’s monthlong siege on Gaza, which human rights experts have warned amount to ethnic cleansing and war crimes.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk accused both Israel and Hamas of war crimes, and said that the only solution to the violence is to end the Israeli occupation and allow Palestinians the right to self-determination.

Hamas wouldn't have done 10/7 if not for Israel's colonialism and genocide, and Israel has never had a true "ceasefire" in Palestine. They for years have done bombing campaigns that they euphemize as "mowing the grass", against Gaza. You can't divorce the current conflict from the history that led to it.

Turns out that desperation breeds extremism, and Israel is the one who made Palestinians desperate.

People don't denounce slaves who revolt as being too brutal, but continually murdering and starving peoples' children apparently is not bad enough to justify revolt when it's only Palestinians being murdered.
