I see the ability to still laugh and find joy despite everything that's happened. And so I think that the urgency right now just has to be towards ensuring that they have a life, that they're not being killed anymore.

So I think that we have to tackle what's implied by that. And I actually want to walk back, you know, I was listening to Nikki Haley when she said in one of her interviews, you know, and why is it that you think no one wants to take the Palestinians in? And she had like this deeply disturbing laugh to it.

Or Ben Shapiro when he said, Israelis like to build and Arabs like to bomb crap and live in their sewage. Or why is it that no one wants to govern the Palestinians? Suggesting that Palestinians are ungovernable and not fit to bring into your countries. And that's why they're being turned away. You know who else faced that bigotry? Jews trying to escape the Holocaust.

1939, 300,000 Germans applied for refuge here in the United States. I think only about 10,000 were allowed in. And we also turned away ships of Jews that were seeking refuge here in the United States on what basis? That they were a national security threat and could not be trusted. They could not be taken in. That's the same bigotry that's driving this.

And I want you to think about it from that perspective, how deeply offensive that is. When you have millions of Palestinians in diaspora, where have Palestinians caused trouble where they've gone? Everywhere Palestinians are, they have overcome significant hurdles to become scientists and doctors. and to grow themselves and to grow the places that they're in.

We have Palestinians that have been displaced all over the world, caused issues for people, right? So it's both racist and factually incorrect. That's not the right question that should be asked. The question that should be asked are why are these people driven from their homes? Not why won't other people around them open their homes to them?

And so I'll just share with you that even on a personal level, you know, it's really interesting because sometimes on Twitter or wherever it is, it'll be like, go back home, right? Why don't you go back home? And I'm sitting there thinking to myself like, sure. You know, my parents were driven from their homes. Yeah, sure. I was born in this country as a consequence of bad policy. Now,

I embrace my complicated identity in that regard, and I hope to be productive as an American, but I am a Palestinian. And Palestinians in diaspora that have been fortunate enough to have the ability to build and to overcome circumstances should not be an excuse for eliminating the Palestinians that remain in their homes under that torment. So this bigotry is not new.
