“I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died, I get that,” Clinton said to the quiet crowd in Muskegon. “But if you lived in one of those kibbutzim in Israel, right next to Gaza, where the people there were the most pro-friendship with Palestine, most pro-two state solution of any of the Israeli communities … and Hamas butchered them.”

He is a demon

This is an SS officer explaining why he just had to wipe out the Warsaw Ghetto

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.

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.
