Discussion on Free Palestine and Controversy
Arianna, what did you say to me?
What did you say to me, Arianna?
I'm sorry, I said three words.
Okay, okay, Arianna. Hello, everybody.
My name's Arianna Hamilton.
I am the person from this video.
First is my side of the story.
I'm gonna keep it real short and simple.
That man did come in very aggressively.
I did not ask him where he was from,
like, originated from. I asked him,
where is he from from the Lehigh Valley?
We get a lot of people from a lot of different places,
New York, New Jersey. As he didn't say in the video,
he did originally said he was from New Jersey and we stopped it at that.
And so he took out the Star of David from his shirt and said,
I'm Israeli, I'm from Israel, and that is what got me to say free Palestine.
Absolutely, I wasn't gonna back down on free Palestine when
he put the camera in my face. That's just not somebody I am.
I will forever speak on my views,
just, and I will never be scared to say what I think.
I just wanted to say my whole point
of saying free Palestine was not to spread hate because the reason
I was fired was because I discriminated against him and I had said hate speech.
That is not what I wanted to give out.
That was not my intention. My intention was to speak on my views
because absolutely, I say free Palestine, free Gaza, stop the genocide.
Because what's going on right now is more than any of us could imagine.
We're not living in it, so we don't know what it is or what's happening or like experiencing it.
We're not experiencing it, so we think it's nothing, but it's absolutely something.
Kids are dying.
Kids haven't been to school.
Kids are supporting kids. They're not getting food.
They're not getting water.
Their parents are dying in front of them.
There's more amputees in Gaza alone.
This is not okay.
It's not okay and I'll continue to speak on that fact.
Free Gaza,
free Palestine, but it's a lot's going on right now and I'm trying to keep to myself
because the threats I've been getting from people from Israel have been absolutely insane.
Yeah, and my last question for you guys is,
is Burger King safe for Palestinians right now?
