No, what takes away from the Palestinian struggle is his government continuing to send weapons and militarily relevant resources to Israel so the IDF can continue k***ing Palestinians! Him acknowledging one tragedy (7th of Oct) but not the other is a choice, a shrewd one that deserves calling out.

Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.
