But Netanyahu loves this idea of just forcing the Palestinians, they have to go through reeducation, according to this stuff, they're going to teach them to love, you know, Zionism.
One of my good friends who's Palestinian and has family from Gaza, her name is Leila Al-Aryan.
She's an incredibly successful Emmy Award-winning TV documentary producer in the United States.
Her mother, who I know, is...
has had more than 200 family members killed in Gaza.
Anyone that knows a Palestinian, if you ask them how it's affected their family, almost everyone, dozens upon dozens, if not more, family members who've been killed.
They've wiped out the family names of entire families in Gaza.
I mean, we can get into the grotesque details of what this board is doing, but I think what's important on a conscience level for everybody to consider is this.
Profits are not people that see the future.
They're people that understand the times in which we live and have the audacity in them to stand up and say, I won't allow it.
And, you know, a lot of people from our generation remember, you know, maybe when I was coming of age, one of the big political struggles was against apartheid in South Africa.
And we now look back on that and we say, my God, that was so grotesque.
Or we look at pictures from American history from the 1940s and 1950s of black bodies hanging from trees.
Or we look at signs that say whites only.
Or kids are taught about the woman who refused to give up her seat on the bus, Rosa Parks.
And we look back at that and we say, you know, wow, this was a horrible part of our history, but good people rose up and they did something about it.
Martin Luther King wouldn't even be invited to Martin Luther King Day celebrations if
in the modern time if he had the audacity to say it in real time.
He wouldn't even be invited to his own, you know, celebrations if he was alive today, because he would see it for what it is.
And I guess what I would say about Gaza is, we've been so brainwashed into believing that Palestinians are terrorists, that somehow they're akin to Al Qaeda or ISIS, because they're resisting.
