Reporter Presses Pelosi as She Calls Netanyahu’s Conduct ‘Inexcusable’: ‘You Own This Operation Every Bit as Much as They Do’
Nancy Pelosi called Benjamin Netanyahu's conduct during the Israel-Hamas war "inexcusable" when pressed by a reporter at the annual Munich Security Conference.
He pressed Pelosi on whether the United States has a red line for Israel and whether they “own” the Gaza operation as much as their ally.
“If you don’t like what Israel is doing, and the president has made it clear that some of what Israel is doing he doesn’t like, and you go on supplying them with hardware to do these things you own this operation every bit as much as they do, don’t you?” Sebastian asked the former House Speaker.
you know I wish people would stop pussyfooting around the issue and just come out and say it: the israeli government is committing a genocide in gaza. if they're worried about being called antisemitic, don't. they're calling you that anyway and they throw that word around so much that the word has almost no shock value or meaning anymore.
Finding does not really support the Israel is doing genocide claim, but it can be argued that they did commit war crimes. Genocide is much higher bar to clear, but intentionally doing war crimes is arguable. And you're correct that criticism of Israel alone is not anti-semitic.
I think it is possible that Israel could be committing genocide and that you personally sound a lot like a run of the mill anti Semite.
Maybe both is true?
so you are equating the government of a secular nation to a religion, and that criticizing the actions of that government is the same as being against the existence of that religion.
see I can't really get upset about this because people with pro jewish only israel agendas have thrown that word around so it means nothing. it's about as effective as calling a democrat a socialist and communist.
What part of their post was antisemitic, specifically?
I see trolls like you calling anything and everything antisemitic just because it doesn't full throated support Israel, but never what or why. No clue why....
Self-awareness in short supply:
The behavior of Netanyahu is, in my view, inexcusable in terms of how it has effected the collateral damage of children and families and the rest, but nobody can take away the right of any country to dEfEnd itSeLf
If something's inexcusable then don't make excuses.
TIL "dEfEnSE!!!" = Starving an entire ethnic group, blocking aid, enforcing apartheid, stealing land, executing civilians in the street with impunity, killing 30k mostly women and children, bombing hospitals, bombing refugee camps, bombing ambulances, torturing detainees, and committing genocide. Just like how those Nazis in the 40s were just defending Germany right?
More double speak from the "left" in the US.
It's lovely that Pelosi has more contempt for the anti-genocide protestors than the far-right extremist that broke into her house and beat her husband with a hammer.
What a wonderful world.
Wasn't she claiming that pro-Palestine demonstrators were Russian plants all of three weeks ago?
Maybe someone finally showed her a poll as to what fraction of the Democratic party opposes Israel's slaughter of Gazan children.
Current polling shows 61% of Democrats approve of how Joe Biden is handling the Israel-Hamas conflict.
I saw a poll last month that said 50% of Biden voters believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Either way, it's a substantial enough fraction to cause a notable change in messaging from Democratic leadership.
Very great question on the reporter's part.
“There’s nothing that we have sent since Oct. 7 that has contributed to this brutality,” she said.
'Not sure about that but absolutely the US has done nothing to stop it.
