The world needs to check it, hold it accountable.

South Africa, which experienced apartheid, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, all of those that fought apartheid in South Africa,

said that Palestinians are living under apartheid and that the same strategies that checked apartheid in South Africa need to be used to hold Israel accountable for apartheid with the Palestinians.

It's impossible for us

as Palestinians to simply say that we should give up on this cause because all the odds are stacked against us.

But when you have, you know, videos coming out of the Israeli armies, you know, spewing skunk water, skunk water, sewage water on worshipers leaving al-Aqsa, far right leaders now taking the government

and the so-called only democracy in the Middle East prohibiting a Palestinian flag being raised anywhere around.

American reporters, Shirin Abu Akleh, Palestinian American Christian reporter, Palestinian American Christian reporter, one of the most prominent journalists in the Middle East, shot in the face, plain sight,

And all America could say was, all the American government could say was, if it turns out that it's indeed Israel, that Israel is responsible for the death of an American journalist, then we will hold them accountable.

Nothing.

Not a peep.

It was a shame.

to see that happen.

And it just solidified to us that whether it's a democratic president or a Republican president, unfortunately, the support for Israel is enabling it to continue to wipe out the Palestinian population from its historic lands.

And so

We see that happening, and I'll say this as well.

People ask me about the Abraham Accords.

They say, you know, you are talking about faith between, or you're talking about peace between communities of faith and protecting communities of faith.

Why are you opposed to the Abraham Accords?

I think that the name of Abraham should not be used.
