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.

Genocide would look like carpet bombing Gaza with MOABs

Darn, if they had only built the tunnels, fired the rockets and stored the ammunition away from population centers before taking all those hostages...

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.
