00:00Senator Wu?
00:01Here's another specious argument where you're trying to say that you're trying to give justification for the actions of the far-right government, which Netanyahu supports.
00:15I should clarify, I'm not justifying it.
00:17Which has been in the cards for two years already.
00:20What we have seen from the West is a lack of action, is an indulging of the Netanyahu government, is a complacency, a willingness to look away from the atrocities that Israel has committed in Gaza.
00:35And what has that yielded?
00:37More extreme actions.
00:38To suggest that recognition of Palestine is going to be the trigger for even more right-wing action is simply a fallacy and something that cannot be tolerated.
00:50Senator, I assume that you would unequivocally condemn October the 7th, because you haven't mentioned it so far, all the hospitals.
00:55I do, I do.
00:56But why do I have to have a litmus test of that sort?
00:59I condemn all the killings of children in Gaza.
01:03I condemn the bombings as if it hadn't happened.
01:05That's why.
01:06I'm unequivocal about that.
01:07It seems like you're editing something out.
01:09How about you?
01:09It seems like you're missing an important piece of the puzzle here.
01:11How about you?
01:11Are you unequivocal?
01:12No.
01:13How about the killing of children in hospitals?
01:16Jake?
01:17Of course.
01:18Of course.
01:18Of course.
01:19Any killing of children in hospitals.
01:21Then we're on the same page.
01:24We're not on the same page, because you, I'm afraid, are mistaking a war for a genocide, and mistaking a democracy for a fascist state, and you're on the side of a non-democracy at best, and a jihadist state at worst.
01:36How could Israel be a democracy and an occupier at the same time?
01:40Let me ask you one question.
01:41I'm afraid you have lost your moral authority by failing to condemn the same, sir.
01:46Would you consider West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem an occupying land?
01:52I'm asking you this question.
01:54I'm afraid, sir, I'm afraid, sir, I'm afraid, sir, in my mind, you've lost your moral authority by failing to condemn.
01:59I'm afraid, sir, I'm afraid, sir, I'm afraid, sir.
02:04I've not said it.
02:05I'm afraid, sir, I'm afraid, sir.
02:06I've passed away.
02:07I know.
02:08Of course.
02:09I know.
