Nothing different between him and them.”The CNN anchor interviewing him apparently felt no need to push back on these outrageous claims.

    After a year and a half of “genocidal intent” being shown clearly by Israeli politicians saying things like “every baby in Gaza is an enemy,” “we are cutting off the water supply to Gaza,” and killing babies is a “pastime,” as well as constant footage of Israeli attacks against civilians in schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings, it was finally time for Trump to stand up this week and say clearly: This is a genocide.

Everything about the Syrian president & his story is mind-boggling. Take this, for example: Exactly 20 years ago today, he was captured by the Americans in Iraq & jailed.
