This is why you don’t pay for breakfast (if you have the option), wake up late at your time and go discover a local spot and some food to eat as breakfast/lunch item.
I think the requirement for “have to be stated it as a political position” caveat is rooted in malice which has historically skewed the discussion in favor of controlling the narrative in the interest of the agenda at hand, in this case is blind support for Israel.
I remember having to use the same set of qualifiers back in the day during the “War on Terror”, when arguing that mass bombing campaigns would only lead to more extremism. I’d have to state that I didn’t “support terrorism” and the idea was to have an objective discussion around the policies in question.
It’s a tact to suppress valid criticism and garner support.
It was apparent then and it’s apparent now. We cannot have open discussions in the interest of actual progress when folks are implicated into a myopic tribal view of the situation for having an opinion that goes against the common narrative.

And Biden had nothing to do with this you say? How about the time when the US (Biden’s admin) was actively trying to dissuade ICC from issuing these warrants.
Meanwhile the leader of the free world that represents “justice and equality”:

Nope. Biden is still choking on Netyanhu’s dick.

Not supporting a genocidal asshole doesn’t make you a Trump supporter. Grow the fuck up.
Is it? Because I haven’t seen one response to the sources and the arguments I made that was actually in “good faith” ironically.
Keep trying though. :-)
That’s a “read and reread my response above” if you have trouble understanding and fuck off if you’re going to put words in my mouth.
Thanks for playing.
