And I think it would be ridiculous today if we look back at Jim Crow, for example, and we ask the person who's lived under Jim Crow if they have hate in their heart for Jim Crow, as if that's not the absolutely logical and natural sentiment to feel.

American lawmakers and American diplomats and journalists of our humanity. Because we wait for their approval. You know, I was 14 years old when I first flew to Congress to speak to Congress people and to speak at the European Parliament. And at the time I thought, wow, I must be such a brilliant 14 year old for them to have me here.

And, you know, looking back, I didn't know what I was talking about. I had horrendously broken English. And I didn't have any talking points. And I came to realize that the reason why we send our kids with their PowerPoints to the Hill is because of the racism and the hatred that lingers inside the hearts of American politicians who refuse to sit on the table with Palestinian adults as equals.
