Discussion on Gaza and Palestinian Rights

If you're unwilling to speak up against the genocide in Gaza,

the apartheid in the Bank, West

then you are morally compromised.

I'm certainly probably the first American politician who's been detained by the IDF

and Israeli settlers.

We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed.

They had destroyed the school.

They had destroyed that village. And we were just looking at it.

And these hoodlums come in with machine guns,

an M4, an American made machine gun, and they detain us. They block off the road.

And then they call the IDF,

and the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans.

I saw the arrogance in the eyes of those settlers, 21 and 22 year olds with guns,

laughing that they had detained us,

the arrogance of those young IDF soldiers that my tax dollars are funding,

having no respect for the fact that they were detaining Americans.

If you're unwilling to speak up for Palestinian human rights,

if you're unwilling to speak up against the genocide in Gaza,

the apartheid in the West Bank,

then you are morally compromised.
