And by the way, it makes us all less safe.

And so we have to focus on speaking out against that.

No nuance on that.

Yeah.

On the issue of Israel, the Middle East and the war in Iran and Gaza.

There's a lot of nuance there.

I'm happy to answer your questions on that.

But I think on the issue of anti-Semitism, we have got to be in a place where we universally condemn it.

And I think what you're seeing from some folks on the right and some folks on the left is they'll only call it out if it's said by a political opponent or someone they disagree with.

And I frankly respect people on the right, like Ted Cruz, who have called it out within the Republican Party.

I've tried to call it out when it rears its ugly head in my party.

It is important that it be universally condemned.

okay well first off um let me say this i don't view this issue as a jewish american as you said i view this issue as an american and i view this issue in a way of trying to understand what is the best thing for america which to me is having peace and stability in the middle east okay that's how i approach these issues

It is, and I've been clear and consistent about this long before October 7th, that I think Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, is someone who's been leading Israel down a dangerous and isolated path.

I think he has made Israel more isolated in the world community.

He has fractured

really what used to be a nonpartisan or bipartisan American support for Israel.

And I think he has put Israel in a very dangerous place.

And of course, he was the leader of Israel who wasn't minding the shop when October 7th happened.

So I've been very critical of Netanyahu for years and years and years.
