Two sets of laws for two separate people.

You have a displaced people that are forcibly being removed, that are being treated differently, that are stateless, that are undergoing daily humiliation, that live behind an apartheid wall.

that live under a different set of policies, that are routinely bombarded, that have lost their ability to free movement, that have lost their ability to access to basic necessities of human life.

There are legal definitions here.

I don't see how any objective human being can read those reports on apartheid and the threshold crossed for apartheid and walk away from that and say that this is just Jews and Muslims that don't like each other.

There's a legal definition here, occupation.

When Israel was created in 1948, you will find many Jews who are opposed to Zionism, and I think this is important, you know, to talk to Jews who are opposed to Zionism, and they are many.

that will say that we were told that it was a land without a people for a people without a land.

The problem with that was there were people there, our ancestors, 750,000 Palestinians expelled in the Nakba and many Palestinians that have been removed and harassed and that are treated in horrific ways.

And the occupation is expanding.

It is an illegal occupation.

The settlements are still expanding.

And the United States enables that occupation with its funding, with its unconditional support, unwavering support of Israel.

And it does so in a way that completely undermines any of its claims to being a beacon of freedom in the world.

because it is in plain sight now that the world can see what is happening in Sheikh Jarrah, what is happening in Jerusalem, what is happening with these expanding settlements, everything that flies in the face of any claim to wanting a peaceful solution.

The children in Gaza, when I talk about dehumanization, the children that were on the face of the New York Times, which is historically one of the most anti-Palestinian newspapers in America, the faces of the children of Gaza,

America and many parts of the world are now seeing it.

We have been saying for a very long time, this is apartheid.

This is an occupation.

This is an injustice.
