I had to look this up because it's such a ludicrous statement to make. There is some extra context: he said pampered in regard to foreign aid. But as far as I could tell this is not true. And it's even less true when you consider how much actually gets to them when Israel blocks a lot of aid. It's also just weird because like - I wear glasses and some people don't need to. I don't consider myself pampered because I get to wear glasses. Aid goes to whoever needs it the most, so describing people in need as pampered in general is the most bizarre take to begin with. Pro Israel people have to do some real mental gymnastics. And from my brief googling it sounds like some people thought he did a good job defending Israel! All he did was say 'but Hamas' over and over.
Sorry, but I had to rant.
