WASHINGTON—Speaking on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been characterised as a genocide by scholars and the UN Commission of Inquiry, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) became the first to claim that Israel is maybe a little bad. “Over the last two years, Israel has not simply defended itself against Hamas. Instead, it has waged a somewhat not okay maybe kinda war against the entire Palestinian people. Many legal experts have now concluded that Israel is committing something not totally cool in Gaza. Some might say even bad,” said the progressive in a statement on his website. “I recognise that many people may disagree with this conclusion. The truth is, whether you call it bad or uncool or un-epic or not chill, the path forward is clear. We, as Americans, must end our complicity in the sorta not tubular killing of the Palestinian people.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded swiftly, saying that Sanders was “making dangerous insinuations" that Israel was “not entirely rad, which is gravely untrue.” At press time, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined Sanders, saying that Israel was not being as “super chill and awesome” as the country claimed to be regarding the issue of Gaza.
