Williams has condemned Israel’s defensive military operations in Gaza as a “war crime” and criticized the US Congress for inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak in July.
Williams issued a statement on Oct. 11 of last year, four days after Oct. 7, lamenteing the attacks before calling not to retaliate and shifting attention to oppression of Palestinians.
“We can, we have to be able to, at once grieve the hundreds of innocent lives taken in Israel, and oppose the escalating violence of retaliation, the endless war, the systemic violence and oppression of Palestinians too often ignored, excused, or condoned,” Williams wrote.

triedfailed to make his statement/approach look like a bad thing.I love how “defensive military operations in Gaza” isn’t in quotes, but “war crime” is.
“alleged ‘oppression’ of Palestinians” is a pretty good line too.
Trimmed away some propaganda. Don’t recommend reading the original article.
