0:00.0	This weekend, the United Nations called what Israel is doing to Palestinians
0:06.4	ethnic cleansing. I need us to pause there just for a second and understand that
0:14.3	on our time, on our watch, there is a horrible, horrible case of ethnic
0:22.7	cleansing of genocide of apartheid. Going on right now, you can see it. Go to my
0:30.8	timeline on Instagram. See it for yourself. Judge it for yourself. Make your own

2:07.4	killed while they are being evacuated. Yesterday, Palestine released that over 50
2:16.5	Palestinian families had every single member of their family killed and they were removed
2:26.5	as a family from the role of Palestinian citizens. Every person, mother, father, children,
2:36.5	grandparents, everybody, all dead. This is the textbook definition of genocide. This
