and then have methods of accountability. The problem is, is that Israel has been made invincible in the international arena because of the United States. And then we wonder why there's such a rise in global anti-American sentiment. It's not because of American freedom.

It's because America is directly participating, the United States government is directly participating in the worst genocide that we have ever seen in our lives, right? Playing out on screen. you know, on social media. And we can't do anything about it. So I think that the point is, is that we need those international bodies. We need methods of effective accountability.

And I would love to see blame properly assigned and anyone that kills any innocent human being take into account, anyone that is guilty of a war crime, take into account. We have to ask ourselves, why is it that Israel has violated over 63 United Nations resolutions, has expanded its occupation, has killed over 600 Palestinians before October 7th? Why is it that Israel cannot be held accountable?

And so when you talk about words that get thrown around, that are used to justify violence against more innocent people, When I'm asked about terrorism, is it only terrorism if it's a non-state actor? If someone's sitting inside a room of suits and can press a button and terrorize thousands of people and murder innocent people with no consequencesβ€” How is that not terrorism?

So if terrorism is only to be assigned to non-state actors, then it's a word without function. In fact, it's a word that justifies more terror that has then rained upon innocent populations. We have to have moral consistency. Children should not be killed. Non-combatants should not be targeted. We can all agree upon that.

Why aren't there proper investigative bodies and then proper international bodies of accountability then? that can execute their findings in a way that makes the world a better place, in a way that actually brings about more peace. And so I think this is where we're at right now. This is the frustration, and this is the place that the Palestinians have been left.
