    It would even be so rhetorically easy for him to reverse at this point:

    My fellow Americans. I have said that the United States will always stand with Israel, and I have meant it whenever I said it. And in the same way that loving a friend sometimes means intervening when you see that friend doing something self-destructive, I have made the decision that now, standing with Israel means trying to save them from this violent and self-destructive course that they have set themselves on.

    Anything like that. It would be so easy. The only logical conclusion is that he genuinely supports the genocide.

    The letter also calls on Garland to investigate the thousands of U.S. citizens currently serving in the Israel Defense Forces for potential war crimes. A spokesperson for the Justice Department confirmed that the letter was received but declined to comment further. A Defense Department spokesperson referred questions to the White House.
