Is he that bad? I do not think a liberal would be posting like this?
No he just said he believes Israel has a right to exist as a nation with equal rights. A cop out answer (which is almost definitely the correct move when you're running for a position that has literally nothing to do with Israel)
Yeah I don't believe that's his real position he just wants to avoid being bogged down in that being the only topic he ever gets to talk about (it is anyway but you know). Every time I've seen him the media behaviour has reminded me so much of Corbyn it's uncanny.
Well, technically speaking that "with equal rights" part is essentially what the resistance demands. 'Israel' wouldn't be 'Israel' if it had equal rights. This could be a very cautious, borderline cowardly, way to express a sensible position.
It's pretty funny when you frame it this way because it shows that applying the same views that MLK had about Black people in the US to Palestine will prescribe you to support Hamas. You want equal rights? Get ready to put a grenade in a Merkava, buddy
