There was a faction that felt like Netanyahu could do no wrong and criticizing him meant broaching a sacred relationship. I didn't agree with either faction. I support Israel when I think Israel's doing the right thing. And They have been successful in extinguishing the circle of fire that encircled them after October 7th. I've also criticized Netanyahu vociferously when I thought he was way outside the bounds of humanitarian conditions. What I won't ever do is just buckle to the online mobile. (48:10–48:17)
