Gillibrand also said something about how yes, Bibi is doing bad, but hey, we also did bad after 9/11 and I'm not sure what her point was? Who are we to judge? Or that we should give them grace bc we should have been given it? Because both of those are just some absolutely terrible takes.

i just don't understand that logic, like, war criminals must always endorse war crimes? how does that make anything better and not just like, exponentially exacerbate the problem

Like, no, we didn't deserve grace there, yes, the world should speak up when someone's committing war crimes, even if we also did war crimes because it wasn't ok then and it's still not ok now.
