I've always understood that Israel's siege on Gaza is morally indefensible and has caused immense suffering to Palestinians living there, but I had mistakenly assumed that Israel's withdrawal of settlements from Gaza in 2005 meant the term "occupation" no longer applied to Israel's control of the strip. I'm now learning that the UN and many leading international bodies and human rights organizations continue to regard Gaza as part of the occupied territories, so I stand corrected on my earlier remarks suggesting otherwise. But more importantly, as President, I will fight for a future free of siege and occupation; one where every Israeli and every Palestinian can live in safety, dignity, and freedom.

It's a sign of strength to admit your mistakes and to try to learn more. But if you thought Gaza was not under Israeli occupation all this time, you have a lot to learn. Maybe read a book by Rashid Khalidi

Well done - excellent leadership move to acknowledge and stand corrected. Thank you for modeling that even the best of leaders can sometimes make errors and no one is infallible

This is a good example for people. When you make a mistake, admit it, make the correction and move forward. 👏

Okay fine. I'll clip another unhinged Marianne moment where she explicitly states 5 million Palestinians don't deserve equal rights but permanent apartheid from where they were expelled, because equality will ruin her dream of violent demographic engineering:

Isn't this, like, your third cry for attention - I mean, run for the presidency? And it never occurred to you previously to maybe learn a little something about what you'd be dealing with if you actually managed to get into office? Very serious candidate right here, folks. 🙄
