Sanders discusses the Gaza ceasefire, casualty statistics, American funding of Netanyahu's government, and calls both Netanyahu and Hamas leaders war criminals.
- Tim hopes the Gaza ceasefire works and wants to address the situation directly.
- Netanyahu and Israeli politics led them to wage war against the entire Palestinian people, not just Hamas.
- Gaza's population of 2.2 million has suffered 65,000 dead and 140,000-160,000 injured—10% of the entire population.
- The equivalent casualty rate in America would be 33 million people killed or wounded.
- A ceasefire was recently reached with hostage and prisoner releases, and Gaza now needs international reconstruction.
- AIPAC is a powerful lobbying organization that doesn't have to register as a foreign lobby and receives major Trump donor support.
- America should never again fund countries violating international and American law by restricting humanitarian aid.
- Netanyahu is a war criminal, as are the leaders of Hamas, and this should be a lesson for the country.
