You needed to face that reality a long time ago. Instead you have been loudly supporting this genocide for over a year

This article is pure, disingenuous face saving. Just trying to distance themself from the genocide now that they're supported it along to a point where they feel it can't be stopped. Read through it and they hit all the talking points; "Israel has a right to defend itself", "October 7th was an unspeakable crime", "Hamas is pure evil", "we need to save the hostages". They support every part of the current genocidal project except for the part where it looks bad for them and their veneer of liberal civility, so now they're trying to palm of all the guild to a few rogue politicians who totally don't represent Israel or Zionism in general.
