If you really look at the records, Netanyahu was supportive of Hamas because he felt if Hamas stayed in power, they'd be less likely to get a two-state solution. His kind of deal with the Israeli electorate was, I am not as democratic, you may not like me, but I'll keep you safe. I've been to Kibbutz Farazah. I went to the Gaza envelope, and all I could think was, all I had was rage.
I'm like, how on earth were Israeli and IDF gunships, helicopter gunships, not on the scene? He didn't keep them safe. He is not a democratic, he's not someone who upholds ideals of democracy over settlements, I am totally empathetic to the notion that Netanyahu has been terrible for Israel.

Now, as it relates to the war, this is a difficult thing to say, but I think one of the problems that plagues the Middle East is there's never a winner. And also with Israel, I think there's a double standard. They're allowed to defend themselves. People are comfortable and like a dead Jew, who then the army rises up and fights back to a truce.

But Israel is not allowed to prosecute the war the same way we've been allowed to prosecute wars. So 2,200 servicemen are killed at Pearl Harbor. We go on to kill 3.5 million Japanese, including 100,000 in one night. 2,800 people die in 9-11. We go on to kill about, I don't know, I think about 400,000 or 500,000 Iraqis in Afghanistan in Iraq.

And by the way, the ratio of enemy combatants to civilians was much higher, is much higher in Israel than it was in Germany, than it was in Mosul, than it was in Tokyo. So they are prosecuting a war, I don't want to say more humanely, but less inhumanely, than we did. And the analogy I would use is the following. What would we do if the following happened?

If a jihadist death cult was elected to the leadership of Mexico, and they said, you know, those Southern Baptists in Texas, they demonize us, they round us up, they separate our families, these are horrible people, and they train young people to just hate Americans, to think that they were the devil.

And they spent all of the foreign aid they were getting on tunnels and rockets, and then on one day, they incurred into Texas, and they killed on a per capita basis the entire population of the University of Texas faculty, students, and all the nursery schools and high schools. They killed, they slaughtered everybody.

And on the way back, retreating to Mexico, they took the freshman class of SMU hostage and held them underground in tunnels in Monterey. What do you think we would do to Mexico? It would be the great radioactive Sonoran parking lot. We have done much worse in terms of responding. So while I am incredibly empathetic to what is going on here, I think a bad peace is worse than any.
