Tucker, there are nearly two millions of survivors in Gaza resisting a winter storm in ravaged tents, tents ravaged by the elements.

And the fact that these people have been displaced five, 10, 15 times from one rebel camp to another wasteland for two years.

Look, again, I've said already one year ago, Israel is writing one of the darkest pages of modern history.

It should have been stopped months ago, years ago, and not because I was saying that, you know.

This is a critical point, Tucker.

In January 2024, the International Court of Justice recognized the plausibility that Israel was committing genocide, recognized the plausible risk of irreparable harm done to the Palestinians in Gaza under the Genocide Convention.

And you know what does it mean beyond the convoluted formulation of the law?

That there was an obligation to prevent genocide.

The obligation to prevent genocide kicked in at the moment the International Court of Justice recognized the risks and made certain recommendations, actually ordered certain measures to Israel.

And no one, not your state, not my state, no one has done anything

to stop Israel other than cosmetic measures in the margins, because eventually what was to be done was to stop transferring weapons to Israel, to stop trading with Israel and to stop other forms of aiding and assistance, which has not happened.

Well, several grounds, but basically what is common also to the United States.

The main grounds are two.

People are accused of antisemitism and are accused of supporting terrorism and being all Hamas.

I mean, how can it be Hamas to ask to stop starving children?

How can it be antisemitic to ask a state not to carpet bomb a population trapped

in 360 square kilometers.

Come on.

Look, like you, antisemitism is repulsive.

It's horrible.
