0:00.0 | I'm Hello, welcome to Media Roots Radio. This is Robbie Martin. And this is Abby Martin. How are you doing, Robbie? |
0:46.5 | I'm doing pretty good. Considering in the circumstances, I'm trying to, trying to do good, you know, do good or do things to take my mind off it. |
0:59.7 | Even though, you know, it was especially hard at first that I felt really guilty at times, |
1:05.7 | uh, even making the conscious decision to pull away from it because when I say it, of course, I'm |
1:11.3 | talking about basically the absolute slaughter that's happening to the Palestinian people right |
1:16.4 | down in Israel. So I can't even imagine what it would be like for you, Abby, since you actually |
1:22.1 | have connections to people who live there, you speak to them on a regular basis. And so I don't know, how are you |

2:32.2 | everything to an American audience, because it's not even about Israelis, it's about Americans. |
2:36.0 | So it has been extremely difficult, especially having moved across country, trying to, you know, deal day to day with the horrors unfolding, the genocide unfolding before our eyes. |
2:49.0 | I mean, just every day waking up and seeing an endless |
2:54.2 | amount of injured and dead children. This is the deadliest conflict for children in the world. |
