This is how an intelligent person in Congress should sound and conduct themselves. Thank you AOC for letting me know that there's someone really fighting for us. You're an inspiration.
Even her own constituents think she's a sell-out and scoff at her like the inept clownshow she is.
Yea, if only Stephen were so aware of reality, too, and not this ignorant of history.. 2:15
Israel was stolen, not formed. Stephen needs to learn history outside of Capitalist propaganda.
my thoughts exactly that's what I said in my comment prior to reading yours
🤣
I would love to see her in the Senate or even higher office. SOON!
I hope we're watching a future president. This country needs a sensible, smart and eloquent leader - desperately.
I don't know. She ran on disrupting Washington and is now sadly part of it.
I hope she runs as well. Smart and on point, always!
She'd make a great Leader of the House, i'd hate to lose her frm Congress
@@mycosys Did you watch how she barely criticized Joe who was really the guy empowering the Genocide of 30,000 Palestinians?
@@mycosys She has failed to stand up to her party and Biden. Congresswoman Thalib is better than her.
"Passed away". A massive victory for the passive voice.
I know right..
They definitely didn't just " pass away"
Murdered, along with over 33,000 others.
Biden needs to be held accountable for his complicity in this genocide
Before she said those words she made sure to mention that the were attacked. I don't think she meant to minimize their deaths, but it is probably a respect and sensitivity thing given the forum she's at for the very fresh wounds still felt by their loved ones.
She isn't saying what she wants to say. She's holding her tongue and you can tell.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that. Especially the part on Joe biden
She's intelligent and knows how to play her cards. Speaking without thinking is MTG. periodt.
Yeah, it gives the idea that she is a puppet
@Happyllama220 no, it gives the idea that she's not saying everything she wants to, so as not to alienate voters (as she's done in the past). In other words, not completely sincere/honest.
@@LindaC616that makes sense. I imagine her party also sets the tone. She was becoming a meme.
AOC is a national treasure.

...and due to BIDENFLATION this national treasure has lost 2/3's of its value!
@@primuspilus858
That was due to Donald Trump's inability to deal with a pandemic. Donald Trump also increased our national debt 7.8 million dollars, and you want to put that on the Democrats?
Teaching in a multilingual middle school with many religions, students asked me "are you Pro-Israel or Pro-Palestine? I said I'm Pro-children! No one should be dropping bombs on children!!
Great point. IMO a problem in our country is everyone usually is pushed to take sides. This tragedy in Gaza is not about taking sides, should be about help ending the human catastrophe for both sides, obviously the palestinians need the biggest help.
I would have answered "I'm pro-peace".
I wonder if you said that on Oct 7th?
a moral equivalent should have been, anti terrorism. Both the far right israelians but more visible and hard to ignore the integrists islamists , hamas , hezbollah, all jihadists that forget not, are religious nuts supremacist that YOU SHOULD NOT defend in any circumstances. One aim of the terrorist attack of Hamas was exactly this situation where Israel is condamned for reaction to it. For record I do not condonne the far right Natanyahu, he should have been in prison for corruption a long time ago, now he hangs and use the far right to stay out of prison
But never ever forget the religious nut that manipulate u in defending their cause.
So I guess you are a Trump supporter!!!!
Trump Supporter!
I will never forget giving her $5 before anyone even heard of her. No one called her AOC yet. I knew she would do a good job, but I didn’t know she would be such a superstar. I live in Florida and we need people like her to run for congress too. Best $5 I ever spent.
AOC being a recovering nerd makes me love her all the more ❤. Witnessing her maturation as a stateswoman has been a delight.
White House bound. At 70, I hope I live long enough to be part of that.
( Once again, thanks Stephen)
Hear, hear!
I like her a lot, I like how empathetic she is, but it's not nearly enough. How can she not yell harder? The US is allowing the famine and war to continue because Israel is using the US money and arms to attack, without the US' support there would be no war. It's all in the hands of the US and yet the US is playing theatrics with us, they don't want the war but they're not stopping it. They're not practicing what they're preaching (I'm talking about the government). AOC should start working on reforms for criminal activity happening in NYC. Ceasefire.
I can’t believe that AOC has to spend even a second dealing with people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Gym Jordan and Matt Gaetz and the rest of the GOP deplorables.
I'm sure her workplace environment is very unhealthy with those kinds of colleagues.
Stephen Colbert
as a Christian, should dive deeper into american christian zionism
and how this movement is instrumental in backing the Netanyahu govt
I cannot either. It’s disgusting
Right? Valedictorian with remedial students. Was going lower but...
Well, the rare time when AOC helped Rep Matt G was in firing Speaker McCarthy. I wonder if AOC would help MTG sack Speaker Johnson???
I hope the democrats get back🎉 into power and regain the Speakership.
AOC was a science GEEK in HS! I like that. I also like that she answers questions directly, especially about how one has to have empathy in order to handle the Gaza conflict.
She’s also a huge Trekkie 🖖
Except she didn't really take a side or advocate for any particular action, if you rewatch. I'm a huge fan of hers but...
@@MrNastradamusshe definitely has.
She won an award at ISEF. Truly cracked. Surprised she didn't end up at an Ivy.
@@MrNastradamus She has spoken clearly elsewhere. I watched, and am not inclined to rewatch, so perhaps you're right in this case. But in context, she is hard core and steadfast in her condemnation of the IDF.
Great job the both of you, thanks for giving this to us and the world. Peace.
Amongst all the idiots in politics it’s a relief to have her and the few others like her in power. Imagine having humane, caring and smart leaders everywhere in the world. We’d all be much happier.
I love her ... I really think SHE should be President
Umm....maybe the AOC of old is better. She used to run to disrupt the Washington DC Dems like Pelosi but now she's part of it.

@@I.P.Freely2-yz1je You're funny. Blind and funny. Congresswoman Tlaib is the real deal not AOC.

What a wonderful guest! Thank you for bringing her on.
I'll never forget that AOC was kind enough to come to Texas to fundraise for the people in need during the the deepfreeze winter when our grid nearly collapsed. She's one of the good ones. Our own Senator was trying to bail to Cancun. He who shall remain nameless, is NOT one of the good ones.
So was Wellstone in this state. Still feels like yesterday
I agree, Im a a Republucan and Im voting for Joe Biden, because my party is not the same anymore. I remember in the 1980s when the Republican party was normal, but the orange clown has turned it into a circus show.
@@trevorcarey3997
Good for you ! 👏👏👏👏👏 or ...
At least until things normalize ( after the pumpkin head is out of politics) perhaps.
People are still caught up about the freeze. It was a tragedy yes, but Abbott fixed the grid immediately. Haven’t had any known problems since. She recognizes mistakes and changes her stance with no backlash, Greg Abbott did the same AND solved the problem. Where’s the grace?
@@billgreen1861 Until they normalize? The Republican Party will never be the same after MAGA. Even your own Senators agree. "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." - Lindsey Graham
AOC - Is an inspiring individual who doesn’t see herself as above anyone. Se seems to see us all as equals. Congress needs more of that.
Reeeallly? As an independent who has always voted Dem, I have problems with someone whose neighbors (as in from the bldg where she supposedly resides) ot knowing who she is .... or someone who preaches green policy but doesn't recycle herself. Or who staff take ubers even when they're close to a train stop
@@LindaC616 source?
@@LindaC616 you understand that recycling (plastics, anyway) is a bit of a hoax. paper, aluminum and steel are all pretty easily recyclable but plastic is not. we can make a bigger difference by NOT buying things that are poorly packaged, or wastefully packaged and reuse things like ziplocs as many times as possible when purchased.

It just shows you how powerless we are against governments (including America's) that are owned by super-rich crooks.
As for Oct 7 attack why has no one questioned why "hamas" broke through so easily, even though the Israeli female guards reported weeks before of strange movements on the Gaza side of the fence? And no one reacted?
Dictatorships are known for incompetence and corruption. And while Netanyahu isn't yet a dictator, he's a far-right zealot. They got good intel, didn't believe it, and sent troops to backup settler attacks in the West Bank. How similar to George W and Putin facing terrorism it is!
They were trying to be nice and not racially profile. Forget that now! Get wrecked.
It was allowed to happen as a way for them to try and take the Gaza strip. Hamas was initially funded by Israel as a way to keep the Palestinians divided as netayahoo has clearly stated before. You should search up how many of their own people the israeli's killed due to the Hannibal directive.
@@Viper1924Bouncing around conspiracy sites, are we?
I don't think there's a sinister conspiracy theory. Israel just has an inept leader, much like we had George W Bush... and much like Bush, Netanyahu's idea of defending his nation is reactive instead of proactive.
She’s such a great communicator. She knows how to make a point succinctly and powerfully. We need more of her kind of leadership.
I love AOC but her points weren't succinct at all.
@@Rhythmicons then maybe you should switch back to Nancy Pelosi who was not only a "great communicator", by she was also "very succint" :-))))))))))))))

A good piece of journalism...fox news should be taking note.
They are committed to doing the opposite!
Fox "news" is NOT a news channel, it is an entertainment channel!
Fox is registered as an “Entertainment” channel, not a journalistic one….. So restrictions on them are much looser than other authentic news channels.
Um...Fox? Sorry, ain't gonna happen.
So smart. She answered with care, not rehearsed but genuine takes. Just showed she knew the subject n can explain n convey naturally w/o scripted answers.
actually, its pretty rehearsed. can she call genocide what happend on october 7 ?
there is a peaceful solution, surrender
She is everything a politician should be... ❤

MTG is hate filled, stupid and vicious. Boebert is just stupid. No comparision.
Now, c'mon, you have to hand it to Boobert.
So glad AOC shared what her dear Rwandan friend said. That is the crux of the issue-what it will take to change things.
Shows how little you understand. Rwanda was a genocide. Nothing like that happens in Gaza
Did you listen to what AOC said? Her friend's plea was extremely relevant. I know more than you think about the Tutsis and Hutus and how they really no longer be discerned as two separate tribes with separate loyalties, and yet-they interpreted it as such and bodies were so thick in the lake that you couldn't even see the water. So what else would you add?
@@juliettebobcat704 Rwanda was a horrific genocide. Gaza is a war started by a terrorist regime called Hamas. The two have nothing to do with each other. It is pure whataboutism AOC using. It is a disgrace she is bringing the two issues.
@@MrCiapither is a case at the International court of justice which was deemed a plausible case dor genocide, you are ill informed
Why did she say those World Kitchen workers "passed away?" They were murdered by Israel.
She made an uncharacteristic mistake. It happens.
@@paradisepipeco I'm gonna go full conspiracy and say she was coached. Either by her colleagues who warned her just how deep the Israel support runs in this country, or by herself as she observed the countless number of careers that were abruptly cut short due to pro-Palestinian sentiments. Throughout all this, she went slow to choose her words carefully. At least that's what I saw.
Accidentally killed due to a series of errors that should not have happened. Not murdered
@@sdgdhpmbp _(Please forgive the pomposity of my verbosity in this lengthy reply.....)_
She is likely coached in regard to every public move she makes. However, before I rebut your comment, let me thank you for the first intelligent opinion _(with which I disagree)_ that puts forth that she was not in error, but rather, as you stated. I get pretty tired of playing Whac-A-Mole with children, as has occurred elsewhere on this page, so again, thanks for putting forth a friendly and reasonable intelligent argument.
I submit, however that your Achilles heel is that _"...she went slow to choose her words"._
Assuming she was as you say coached and well prepared; as I believe she always is, then she would have expected this volatile point to come up, and would have already planned how she would respond; and not hesitated in the moment on camera, as she did.
I submit that based upon the context of her rhetoric and considering the source _(herself),_ that it was a rare momentary lapse of reason, which I have never seen before with AOC, and would not expect. But it happens. She is human. We dunno what kind of day she had, my friend.
She didn't need anyone to tell her how deep the support for Israel goes. She knows. Nor would she be inclined to minimize the point, other than to use a much better choice of words to maintain, as you suggest, diplomacy so as not to alienate the hard core IDF supporters, AND avoid derailing the interview in one swell foop.
She is not among those who wish to justify or minimize what happened, and she has been pretty clear about that.
The gist of my argument is supported by her entire history and its outspoken consistency, like Katie Porter; and just like Jamie Raskin, Senator Whitehouse, or Bernie...... she is always prepared, fearless, brilliant, and can cut MTG and Lowrent Boobhurt to ribbons before breakfast on her worst day.
And I have never seen a hint of her playing the attractive woman card, which is why those on the right single her out, but not Katie Porter. But I digress.
I further submit that if you are correct, that contradicts her entire history and consistently progressive clearly stated position. I believe her awareness of the potential rabbit hole on this point caused her to attempt to strike a balance between openly telling it like it is and doing what she did, which is totally drop the ball. I say it was a bit of brain freeze, and nothing more.
Had she been blunt, which is necessary but not necessarily then and there... _(timing is everything....)._ If she had done it there it could have derailed the rest of the interview and dominated it, as well as alienated some she is actively trying to enlist in support, as you stated.
Sorry for the length of this reply. I could go on, but I trust you see my POV.
Thanks again for the reasonable, intelligent reply. Cheers.

@@codys447 Ever since Trump found out that a vegetarian eats vegetables, he won't go near a humanitarian.
One note, and for a good reason.
The seven aid workers were hunted and murdered. They did not simply die.
One drone strike, then as survivors left the area a second drone strike. Then a third at a third location. IDF statements don't say it was a mistake.
How hard is it. Everything she said is so easy to agree with and understand.
We need to seriously do better as individuals. This is an era of change. If we have to fight to death for a future, we are going to lose everything along the way.
How close are we to a collapse. Did Covid not show us that?
How close are we to famine at home?

FYI: IDF had a role in allowing Hamas to attack by withdrawing the day before and then waiting hours to push Hamas out? YES in Cohoots for sure as the IDF funded the origin of Hamas.

@fongponto , Hamas struck first and Israel had the right to retaliate. There are Palestinians that are not terrorists but Israel was given the land of Israel by God and the United Nations in 1948 because of the Holocaust. If any group would understand a genocide, it would be the Jewish people. Empathy is a concept that Christians would not understand. They hardly would know what this is like.

@@amyreynolds3619 Hamas only exists as retaliation itself. You really think this began on Oct 7th? REALLY?
Heck, Netanyahu funded and enabled Hamas... He doesn't care about any hostages. He has been wanting to wipe out the Palestinian people for years.
Oct 7th was awful but the response has absolutely been disproportionate. Over 33,000 Palestinian civilians most of whom were women and children have been murdered in the 'retaliation'. "oh Hamas uses them as human shields". Would you shoot through a child hostage to only possibly kill the bad guy hiding behind that child?

Finally! Someone who has the courage and integrity to call a spade a spade including pointing out how the hostages being held in Gaza are also in danger of losing their lives from the continuing attacks and orchestrated starvation of innocents. Everything she says is so profound and deeply truthful and thank goodness there is someone like her in Congress who has a platform to speak truth without spin.

@@crazywood7593So, you were stunned. Wow.
The last part of the speech is heart breaking 💔
Netanyahu has been in power too long. This is the reason why we have term limits: power corrupts. It increases the narcissism of those who wield it which detaches them from the rest of humanity.
"Tremendous empathy" is useless without a matching action. Just more thoughts and prayers...empty and hollow.
Its hard to get anything done with the gridlock in congress.....
Global power relationships shift slowly, much more slowly that I (and most of us) would like to see. But there is a shift in the wind, it seems to me. The Israeli state, and in particular Netanyahu, has demonstrated an unwillingness to exhibit and occupy a moral high ground. The U.S. has demonstrated its support for Israel, rhetorically and militarily. Now, it would be hard to argue a lack of U.S. support for Israel if it shifted its effective policy toward Israel by conditioning further foreign aid to Israel with requirements that it abide by international law and respect and protect human rights in the region. And backing that up. That could, it seems to me, have positive impacts in that region and also strengthen the U.S. morally and relationally in the eyes of the world.
I agree. Biden’s empathy, if it exists at all, is grossly overstated.

I'd like to know what you would want your government to do if you were surrounded by neighbors who were actively trying to destroy your country and people for decades (with suicide bombings, car ramming, stabbings, mass shootings etc). I'd like to know what you would do and want your government to do if terrorists came into your home on October 7th and brutally raped your daughter in front of you, chopped off your son's limbs, and blew up your wife with grenade. You and so many others live in the comfort of your own homes judging others from afar and you have no idea what it's like to be surrounded by terrorists and under the constant threat of terrorism. You're just a hypocrite who hasn't spent much time learning about the history of Israel and the history of the region. Shameful! And the reason there's an "occupation" in the West Bank is because instead of living peacefully alongside Israelis, Palestinians in the West Bank have consistently chosen the path of terror and refuse to live in peace with Jewish Israelis. And the Palestinians/Palestinian leadership could have turned Gaza into a flourishing state, but instead chose to use billions of dollars of aid to create a terrorist state. You don't sound informed, you sound ignorant.

a daughter of hard working immigrants who worked her way thru schooling, a smart student, tightened her bootstraps, paid for her college by doing jobs, studied law, working up to become a public servant and becoming a member of congress...truly an American dream, conservatives must love this example of true American potential right??
Her father was born in the US from Puerto Rican parents and her mother was born in PR. Puerto Rico is part of the US, therefore islanders that move or migrate to a US state, are not immigrants. Also, she didn't study law, she completed a BA in Economics and International Relations.
Perhaps you googled the wrong name. Or at least let's hope so. Because this is not a bio of Ocasio-Cortez. She didn't have to work too hard. And she did not study law. And her parents would definitely not like being called immigrants.
@@susy590 I would say that working as a bartender and waitress (by no means an easy job!) to help her mom is a darn good thing by itself. And her dedication to working "for the people" - _all_ people, not just those who can give her money - makes her awesome all by itself.
@@lisagulick4144 Again, not sure where you're getting your information. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes from middle class suburbia. Her father was an architect and did well for himself and his family. She went to Boston University and studied economics. Her father passed away in her sophomore year of college and left her and her mother comfortable. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only courts and serves the wealthy. Remember the Met Gala? She ignores her constituents and their needs.She does nothing to help the poor and the homeless, except to walk away from them so she doesn't get her expensive shoes dirty.
She even came in 2nd in a national science fair, graduated from college as a dual major cum laude.
I'm French and I can't stop myself from thinking she would be a great US president 👍🇺🇸😊
As an Aussie, I agree.
As a Dutchman I agree.
She would be decent. But she’ll never be president. She’ll become senator of New York in 3-5 years and she’ll make a big difference there but that’ll probably be the extent of her career
As a Brit, I agree.
As a Brit, living in Europe, I agree. If she won't become President, let's make her Prime Minister of Britain. Boy, would she work that ridiculous mess out!!!
This woman is amazing. Her ability to analyze issues and communicate those issues clearly and cogently sets her head and shoulders above so many other members of Congress. If she were ever to run for President, she would have my support and my vote in a heartbeat.
Beyond articulate. Bless AOC. 💙💙💙💙
this wonderful human MUST be president someday!
She is such an effective politician, not many of them around
AOC is the shining light in our nation’s government. I’m so proud to have been one of her first ever donors, and I hope to one day be one of millions voting for her for President. Love this woman!
I love this lady, a great role model for everyone.
i love her too, but she aint role of anything
great model on how to be fake. And how to fake it to get votes and cowtow from the lobbying group like APAC
See - politicians CAN be articulate and not use words like "biggly".
Or "things" and "stuff".
She also doesn't get "wiggly", and although it is politically incorrect to squeak it out loud, dog nose she could, boy howdy.
I love her so much. Her and Jasmine Crockett are my absolute favorites! ❤
Yay! I'm an Ohioan, but Ms Ocasio-Cortez represents our older son and his fiancé in Queens. She's one of the best.
A great and wise woman has spoken up for all the human race.
May her clear and simple words of wisdom be heard though out the world.
AOC speaks and the world listens. Would love to see her a future presidential canidate
Certain lobby groups with great influence would prevent that...
@@jgaffney567 I understand what you're saying, but are American's really so helpless? Is nobody ever going to start the change of America's moving away from oligarchy (rule by the super-rich) towards democracy? Is nobody going to go to the mattresses against big business and the super-rich?
I'm 78 and have lived and worked in four different countries; Unfortunately, this has made me a cynic (in the modern sense of the word, not the Classical), and I doubt that people will ever stand up for what is right. I would love to be proved wrong.
@@michaeljohnangel6359 let me say as an example there were some real progressive smart exciting candidates that would push for change but they spoke out against a certain very powerful lobby and that lobby virtually eliminated any chance they had by money and influence. Oligarchy has that advantage and the system has safeties.people who further changes are minimized or eliminated
Yes!
@@michaeljohnangel6359 I understand your point, and I hope you are proved wrong.
So glad AOC is in Congress and can represent the voice of the American people. So many in Congress are just about themselves. Kudos AOC!
Honestly can ANYONE seeing this imagine either MTG or BoeBo able to even articulate one sentence of what she just extemporized?
Being from New York City and a suburb, she is a true New Yorker,
and really fights for our Democracy. 😊
One of the sanest, clear-thinking, honest, and thoughtful politicians the US has ever produced. Would there were more like her.
😳 Are you serious?
You people haven't had enough of mindlessly backing deadbeat politicians. She's a Communal Narcissist. What is it going to take before you stop backing these deadbeat divas?
Exactly why MTG and others fear her. Honesty, integrity is not something they even relate to.
@@dab808 You people are not sane if you the AOC the bartender is intelligent! Rocks are smarter than her.
Hilarious. You’re joking, right? She’s a barmaid.
This woman truly has a soul , she should be a two term president
She will be.
She is 34 this year and will be 35 before the election. I was really hoping she was gonna run against Biden.
Oh well, maybe next time.
@@arcticgoddess She failed to mention though that Joe continues to give Israel bombs and now AI to do Genocide.
@tarinindell8217 She definitely has the intelligence to be an amazing president, but she could use two terms in the senate and experience in foreign affairs. I suspect she would agree..
🤢🤮 deport her
What a rep. you can be proud of. On top of the issues and no b s
Thank You For Being A woman with a soul. a heart, and a brain. Please run for President
I love AOC! ❤️
I'm super impressed with her listening style! Her contagious laugh is awesome!
More like her!
More like her! ❤
5:47 "....seven of them, passed away." They were murdered.
It's a skill issue on their part for these ghouls. She has to dilute it. It looks bad.
She is always such a thoughtful speaker.
She is really a good human being.
Thank you for this conversation!!!
The Congresswoman has grown up. Whether you agree with her or not, she speaks logically and methodically with the intent to educate and inform.
Thank you, Ms Ocasio Cortez. You speak so articulately for so many of us. ❤
Alexandria, you are just awesome!
I can see her in the whitehouse someday
Ur country is on the brink , don't get too ahead of yourself.
Putin's republicans will try to destroy her.
Buttigieg and Ocasio-Cortez would be one doozie of a Dem ticket!
@@sandragruhle6288 Amen to that, with either at the top of the ticket. But I kind of wish Al Franken was running, with Mr. Bean as his running mate. The yard signs, buttons, and bumper stickers would be hilarious. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.
God forbid - she supports Jihad she supports antisemitic leaders around the world. What about the horror of Ukraine? What about the horror of October 7th? She has always always voted against Israel
Very well chosen words but it is insane that it takes so long for a person of power in the country that supplies Israel with the weapons they use to take the lives of innocent children to choose them.
Is Hamas also innocent? How about the hostages still not released?
@@AL-lh2ht no one said Hamas was innocent. But tens of thousands of innocent people have been murdered by the IDF in retaliation. Are you one of those "it all started on Oct 7th" people? because it's been going on for many decades. I could show you a long list of all the times Israel forces massacred people.
On this issue, Biden showed his age. Those abstentions in Michigan woke him up!
@@carn9507 Do you also have a list of times that palestinian terrorists massacred Israel civilians before 10/7? A list of jews massacred by the arab living there in 19-th century? Because it is also a very long list going back not for decades, but for centuries. Those two lists should be kept closely to each other.
@@alexander_d1277 A few years ago, an Israeli filmmaker made an Oscar-nominated documentary about the Israeli domestic secret service Shin Bet. It was about defending against terrorist attacks and how the secret service eliminated opponents. What was most interesting, however, was that 5 former directors of this organization (all generals) reported from the inside and how they see the actions of their state. The film is called "The Gatekeepers". I strongly recommend watching this film to get a better sense of reality... European here btw...
An articulate , bold and conscientious voice.Respect her for that.
AOC 4 Prez!!!♥♥♥💯🙏🏾🇺🇸
Well said AOC. You should have the support of EVERY AMERICAN on this subject. ❤
Ms Cortez is what this country needs❤
Do you really think that? I mean, she's empathetic and all and I love her personality, but I don't think she's the woman we need. I mean, look at her district... just chaos.
Yes we need someone to tell us Biden has done a great job in changing Netanyahu's behaviour whilst he now tries to get Iran involved. 👏
@@abdelhak_13 who cares. she's just plain awesome. although sad, and if she is still engaged...i wouldn't have been surprised if some billionaire swept her off her feet and we'd never hear from her again. i'm hoping the same from cassidy hutchinson
“Tremendous empathy” is funny except it’s not.
I believe the same act that established Israel, included wording to recognize the need for a Palestinian state. Still nothing on that.
