Nancy Pelosi called Benjamin Netanyahu's conduct during the Israel-Hamas war "inexcusable" when pressed by a reporter at the annual Munich Security Conference.

He pressed Pelosi on whether the United States has a red line for Israel and whether they “own” the Gaza operation as much as their ally.

“If you don’t like what Israel is doing, and the president has made it clear that some of what Israel is doing he doesn’t like, and you go on supplying them with hardware to do these things you own this operation every bit as much as they do, don’t you?” Sebastian asked the former House Speaker.

    That’s not what I meant. The US asked Ukraine not to cross the border with Russia early in the war, it was a particular concern when Ukrainians were making rapid gains throughout Kharkiv. Now that our Ukrainian funding has stopped, our influence is also decreasing. Hopefully that’s just temporary.

    Regardless, sending money to Israel is not the same as being complicit in genocide. If that were true, then pretty much everyone with a smartphone is complicit in China’s genocide of Uyghirs and every European who buys Russian gas is complicit in Russia’s genocide of Ukraine.
