Pushing The Limits With Brian Shapiro(@TheBrianShapiro):I appreciate your honest response, and do respect your opinion I would say with Hamas....yes, Israel had the right to defend themselves. But.... The lack of regard for innocent life by the Israeli government is just as bad. This is why i don't disagree with a lot of what Mamdani said, I just think the timing was bad.

Agree that yesterday was definitely not the time for a statement like this. Agree that the loss of innocent life is always tragic, no matter the side or the circumstances. Do not agree that the government of Israel has committed war crimes. Have they made mistakes? Of course. But that’s the nature of warfare, and why it’s worth doing everything possible to avoid wars in the first place. Agree that Israel is not perfect. No country is. But they are absolutely not the bad guys in this conflict.
