I mean, there is a big difference between the crimes you commit and the ones you don't commit.

If we're going to judge countries based off what politicians of OTHER countries say, we'll be here all night. Fuck Canada for the shit Trump says, etc.

We do judge countries based on that what is said and what they do.

Okay, but then address the point that the guy was Egyptian and not Palestinian?

Post an example of Palestinian people calling for genocide instead of a some unrelated dude.

I know why people keep quoting this unrelated dud:, it's to make you think that "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is a call to genocide. It's not, it's a call for freedom. Both quotes just use the word "sea", but are otherwise not related.
