No, he clearly called Hamas “human animals” since they are not fighting Palestinians, but Hamas.

Yet they cut off food, water, fuel, electricity and Internet to over 2.3 million Palestinians over 40% are children. They killed over 10,000 who over 4000 of them are children. The actions clearly suggested they were collectively punishing them all which is a war crime. Israel is a pariah state and acting like it and the US is equally guilty for the genocide. The intent is genocide, and what we are witnessing is exactly that.
