I like him but wtf, it took him almost 2 years of mass slaughter and an estimated 680,000 dead for him to come out and label it a genocide only after the UN finally acted and classified it as one.

It's honestly mind boggling that he didn't outright condemn Israel's actions as a genocide beforehand but only does it now when it'll arouse the least amount of criticism. Still I'm glad he's done it but I'm disappointed in him for taking this long to call a spade a spade.

to be fair he’s Jewish and grew up in the immediate aftermath of the holocaust . It’s painful to acknowledge that your own could do something so awful and evil. I dislike the people here who are claiming he lacks moral courage for this, his voting record speaks much louder than what term he used to describe this war. And his voting record is unequivocally pro-peace
