Yes, but I did not see any of the claims of demanding to kill civilians.

They were still way over the line and he apologized. But I did not see any of the claims of "openly calling for genocide in Gaza". Did you? You may link some quotes then. Possible I missed them, but I rather think, this was the usual hyperbole.

"innocent civilians" was the only questionable phrase, but still not at all a clear demand to kill civilians, rather a doubt whether armed civilians, who want to kill jews, should count as civilians.

Wait are you defining all open calls for genocide in Gaza to be the strictly verbatim phrase "I am openly calling for genocide in Gaza"? You are out of your depth here.

Let's make it simple:

Can you share a quote here, that you think was a open call for genocide in Gaza? Then we can debate concretely that and not something meta.

Nobody is debating or wanting to debate you. Certainly you are used to this.
