By the way, when you were in office, how many times did you have to say to Netanyahu, like, don't bomb that?
Like, do they listen?
You know, I was so struck.
This is a tangent.
He seems f***ing nuts.
Like, it's the kind of thing... I remember when Russia bombed Ukraine, and you guys came out with very powerful statements.
These are war crimes.
You're against that.
And then Netanyahu bombs Gaza and kills thousands and thousands of civilians, and the U.S.
is like, hey, guys, be cool.
Like, it's so weird to me that we don't take... Why is that?
Well, there's a couple things.
I mean, first, historically, the U.S.
has been harder on our enemies than we've been on our friends, and that's true across the board.
But secondly, John, the devastation in Gaza, the killing of civilians, the harm, the suffering, the pain... Right.
...was something we tried to get up every day to end the war, and we didn't end it fast enough.
But when we left office, we did have a ceasefire in place, and that's what we handed off to the Trump administration.
But we don't... There's no conditions.
We can say, like, you know...
No bombing.
