I think is why she has such an appeal.
And I got to say.
I've watched Gavin Newsom, and I think he's done an amazing job on so many issues, and he is no doubt a contender, and he has such a smart appeal in the way that he is speaking to Donald Trump and communicating in an effective way.
But he also hasn't effectively communicated on a lot of issues regarding the Middle East, and certainly not when it comes to Israel or AIPAC or β
uh dark money in in the united states and you know i don't know if you think that there's an added value in speaking to ben shapiro or other conservatives but that's a whole other ball game you know but but i'm just giving you like i know there's buzz up around the two of them but i think that's what i kind of walked away from having listened to aoc at the munich security conference
You know, it's something that has been going on for years.
I think now it's been...
It's now official state policy and it's overt and the world can see it.
But the reality of it is Israel has been annexing and expanding illegal Jewish settlements since 1967 in defiance of international law.
And again, you know, I don't want to sound, you know, repetitive here, but there are a few ways to look at it.
The Israeli government has always been, particularly this right-wing government, the most extreme in Israel's history, has always been hell-bent.
on annexing the West Bank.
It's in the party platform of the Likud Charter that there will only be Jewish sovereignty from the river to the sea.
That is not new.
Israeli politicians, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben-Gavir, Smotrich, they've all talked openly about how
Israel will incorporate all of the West Bank and as we saw previously with the Trump administration overtaking the Golan Heights.
So the idea of territorial acquisition for Israel is nothing new.
The way they do it over the years and the decades has changed.
Sometimes they pay lip service to Western diplomacy and they say we're going to go along.
with the Oslo process or the peace process.
