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.

    It’s not nuanced at all.

    Israel is committing genocide. We should not be supporting genocide.

    Nobody except maybe a terrorist organization is saying Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.

      Israel doesn’t have a right to exist. The levant is a diverse area with a rich history, and Israel looks to genocide the people that are the result of that and replace them exclusively with a single group of people that haven’t been the majority in the area for thousands of years, if ever. Jewish people deserve security and self determination but Israel isn’t it.

      This is untrue. Theocratic apartheid ethnostates don’t have a right to exist and lots of people are saying it
