They were a terrorist organization.

Israel had a right to respond.

like any government, you know, that's attacked.

But Israel did not have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian people.

There are 2.2 million people in Gaza.

That's not a lot of people, right?

There are 9 million people in New York City or 8.5 million people.

That's all there are, and they're poor people.

Over the last several years, Israel has killed over 70,000, mostly women, children, and the elderly.

It has injured, I think, 160,000 or even more than that.

So over 10% of the population has been killed or wounded.

Okay, again, often children, the elderly.

Israel stopped humanitarian aid coming in so that children were starving to death in violation of all international law.

And the United States, under Biden and under Trump, continued to fund a guy who I consider to be a war criminal.

Okay, war is disgusting business.

Yes, they did.

Yeah.

So look, war is a disgusting business.

But out of World War II, you remember the Geneva Conventions?

What they said is, look, war is disgusting, but you don't starve children in a war.
