Valid criticism, but how does he feel today? Because on October 7, I was pretty supportive of strong retaliation, too.

Then I saw what Israel actually did, which was far beyond a military response on military targets. It wasn't long after they started that they lost my support. I can support the concept of justice, I can't support genocide.

I don't know how he feels about that today, but it is possible that his feelings in November, immediately following the attack, changed after the atrocious response. I think a lot of peoples' did.

Yeah I agree for the most part. I can't find anything about him retracting this comment in the aftermath though. Maybe he did.
