But thats the point, he didn't say that did he? He just said it was 'unfair' & asked who was pro-Palestine with no acknowledgement of the lives lost at a music festival or those still held hostage or the complexity of what being 'pro-Palestine' might mean. It was simplistic rabble rousing.

What's happening in Gaza is unfair though isn't it? Sending solidarity to those who have been under siege for 8 months is reasonable. Do you think he agrees with what happened in October? I doubt it.

Anyway, how do we vote Hamas out next week?
That was clearly a separate point. He made 3 separate statements. 1. Unjust war, 2. Importance of voting 3. No more octogenarians going for president

Nothing controversial or unfair there

Of course its 'controversial' not to mention the massacre & the hostages in the context of a music festival.

Some people think that killing tens of thousands of civilians in response to that, not to mention destroying their homes and denying them food, water and medical aid is not a legitimate response to what happened.

And that's a reasonable opinion to hold. Some people can see that both actions are wrong.

What a silly, shallow commentary on the conflict with no sense of irony that it started with a massacre of innocent people at a music festival. Anyway, how do we vote Hamas out next week?
