Abdul El-Sayed on Israel:
We’ve got a responsibility in the United States to be holding countries accountable.
Like, if any other country behaved the way that Israel behaved, we would treat them in a very different way, and we don’t.
And I think we have to be really considerate about why. Well, it’s the same experience I just had, which is that you have one organization, a super PAC, committed to our foreign policy, backstopping a different foreign government, that is going to spend tens of millions of dollars to beat you if you’re willing to speak about Palestinian rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination.
And, you know, we came through it. They’re coming back in the general. They’re going to spend another $30 million to try to beat me. You failed last time, so good luck with that.
But I think the American public is starting to realize that we owe our own people to use our tax dollars here rather than to send our tax dollars abroad to drop bombs on other people and their kids.
