00:06Are we ready to say not on our dime?
00:12When I grew up in this city, I grew up hearing a term of progressive except Palestine.
00:18I grew up hearing that it was normal to hold an inconsistency only when it applied to Palestinians.
00:25I saw the politicians that I admired speak of universal rights and then draw the line right when it came to Palestinians.
00:37And I was told that that is simply how it is, it's how it has been, and it's how it will be.
00:45And when I decided to run for office, I was told to keep my thoughts on Palestine to myself if I wanted to win.
00:55I want to make it clear, I spoke every day to my constituents about the need for us to stand up in a consistent manner for justice for every single person, whether they are in Astoria or in Palestine.
01:13And then I got elected, and then I got re-elected, and here I am saying what I have been saying.
01:25You're funding the problem, you're funding the problem, you're elected, you're funding the problem.
01:31Progressive to Palestine, let's get some change here.
01:35Don't put your hands on me.
01:37Did I hear you guys say, not on Ardine with me?
