The question was if he would support a preemptive strike from Israel on Iran and he answered emphatically yes. He then rambled about how important "our allies" are for 2 minutes.

He didn't emphatically say yes to anything. He deflected, like a typical Democrat. If his public position on Israel clears the bar for "pro-genocide", then I guess we're fucked, because then there's hardly a single politician in America that's not pro-genocide.

There are roughly 18 in the senate, as of the most recent vote. It's definitely far from the public, or at least I would have liked to think that before Donald fucking Trump got reelected.
