sure everyone here would rather if he gives an answer at all it be "death to pissrael" or whatever but he's still trying to win an election like come on people ๐Ÿ˜‘

But thats the whole point of what I said. That he said "globalized the intifada" is already out there and used to paint him in a negative light and he still won his primary. Who's vote is he going to try and win over by backtracking? The Republicans that already hate him for being Muslim? The Zionist that won't forgive him for saying that in the first place?

What he should have done is flip the question and ask the reporter if its alright for Israel to continue murdering Palestinians. Its not that hard. He doesn't need to make it about what should happen to the state of "Israel", just point out the evil shit they're doing and how his critics are wringing their hands about Zionist tears.

That he said "globalized the intifada" is already out there

It is out there, but he didn't say it. All this bullshit is because an associate said it and he said he's not interested in policing such statements.

I haven't kept up with all the details of the election cycle, but this seems like even more of a reason to push back on the reporter, no?

Absolutely right.
