Democratic mayoral contender Andrew Yang revised his staunchly pro-Israel tweet amid the ongoing conflict with Palestinian militants — after critics on the left, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, blasted him for the stance. On Wednesday, he struck a different tone, saying his volunteers “felt that my tweet was overly simplistic in my treatment of a conflict that has a long and complex history full of tragedies. And they felt it failed to acknowledge the pain and suffering on both sides.

Yang is going to find out real quickly that you can't appease both sides. Back Israel!

Well, now we know. He is proving himself to be a moral lightweight. We all can grieve the deaths of both Israelis and Palestinians but in this case have no qualms, Hamas (a terror organization backed by Iran) fired indiscriminately into Israel so any Palestinian who dies is on Hamas not Israel. Let the boohooers get angry at Iran not Israel.

I get angry at hamas, for deliberately operating in dense populated areas knowing how world opinion, and especially American liberals, react to civilian casualties, nor do I put it past Hamas to stage fake videos of dead civilians.
