That is a man.
~~Men~~ Humans are capable of things considered god like and demonic, but that is a man. Dehumanization of Palestinians is how the genocide began and how it is perpetuated.
He may be Homo sapien but someone who is that flippant about a genocide that he is currently condoning has forsaken any connection to humanity. I don't see how someone can say "sure you think we've murdered too many of your friends and family but have you considered it's their fault for attempting to fight back against those who have kept them in a concentration camp for decades" and still have any humanity. There is not a single ounce of compassion in that man.
Would you prefer the term malignant psychopath? Or sociopath? Same general outcome in meaning, just more clinical. The way it comes across to me in a context like this, is it's trying to convey how shockingly deceptive and anti-social a person is. It would be a different kind of thing to say "people with white hair are demons" or something. Bill Clinton can choose not to say victim-blaming things, but he can't choose what his natural hair color is.
Yes.
