More people have woken up to the Palestinian plight now than ever before. More people are outraged that this has been our American foreign policy all throughout, you know, Democratic and Republican administrations. This is what we've been paying for? This is what we've been excusing? And Israeli leaders literally spit in the faces of whoever the American president is

and says, yeah, we don't care what they tell us to do. American leadership says we're pushing Israel to minimize the casualties, to get less indiscriminate with its bombing, to manage the crisis, get a few more humanitarian corridors in, to make sure that Gaza is not evacuated and not ethnically cleansed, to make sure Palestinians can come back.

And Netanyahu comes on TV and says, from the river to the sea. How ironic is that? From the river to the sea. And that is his policy. We're going to make sure that Israel controls from the river to the sea. And we're going to push Palestinians into Sinai. And Muslim countries need to take them in. You have Israeli ministers, national defense ministers, saying, you know, things openly, right?

Like... We want to thin out the population, i.e. ethnic cleansing. We want to remove people. And the Muslim world needs to step up and take in these refugees, right? And the American administration, you know, or the American president says, and the American secretary of state says, you know, we're talking to them and we're making sure that that's not going to happen.

And if one of their ministers says something, Blinken maybe tweets out something about how that's not going to happen, but then it happens anyway. And then we still write them the checks. So I think most of the American public is probably going to get sick of this at some point.

Trump's first words were about how he's going to be worse on this, right? So he talked about how he's going to deport people, revoke visas of students that are part of these pro-Palestinian rallies. So the focus was on the rallies versus what's going on abroad. Yeah, but look, we had a Donald Trump presidency. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem. He was not better on this.

Unfortunately, this is a bipartisan problem. And so again, we're under no illusion here. Like we're not looking to Donald Trump as a savior here, but we are going to penalize Joe Biden. And that's, you know, I can't speak for everybody, but I think that that's where a lot of our minds are at right now.
