00:00Israel's security cabinet approved a plan to take control of Gaza City.
00:05Your response?
00:06Look, Israel had a right, of course, to defend itself from the terrible terrorist attack from Hamas.
00:13But what they have done since then is gone to war against the entire Palestinian people.
00:21There are now some 60,000 who are dead, most of whom are women, children, and the elderly.
00:31You've got 18,000 kids, kids who have been killed, 3,000 children who have had one or another limb amputated.
00:38And now on top of all of the destruction, human destruction, incredible destruction of their housing, of their schools, of their universities, of their health care systems,
00:52on top of all that, what Netanyahu does is impose a blockade, preventing food to come in, and people are starving to death.
01:00So I think the good news is that we are making some progress.
01:04I offered a resolution, as you know, a couple of weeks ago.
01:08We got 27 votes from Democrats to stop military weapons going to Gaza.
01:17No Republican support.
01:18But you know what I think?
01:20I think Republicans at the grassroots level are also catching on that it is not a great idea to provide billions to a government that starves children.
01:28Would you say Hamas has some culpability in people starving?
01:32No.
01:32Why?
01:33When they spent so much money building tunnels and everything under the...
01:36Because right now, right now, what is going on is a slaughter, all right?
01:43And right now, Israel is, you know, with few exceptions, is in control of the military situation.
01:49It is not Hamas.
01:51Hamas is a terrible terrorist organization, all right?
01:54And I certainly hope they have no future in a new Gaza or Palestine.
02:01But the fault right now is 100% on a Netanyahu government who has waged an all-out war, committed just...
02:11I mean, it's war crimes.
02:13They are war crimes.
02:14Netanyahu is a war criminal, just as the guy who was head of Hamas is a war criminal.
02:18And the United States taxpayers should not be funding Netanyahu.
