He covers so much. The link should just open in YouTube.
I haven’t seen a transcript yet.

He fairly speaks about both sides but says due to a severe
humanitarian crisis in Gaza we need a ceasefire to help the people of Gaza - goes into lots of detail of recent & past history. I wish he would vote to not give Israel more funding but grateful he made this statement.

I agree with him 100% and do not believe that he is antisemitic. Where is the world on this? A UN relief agency official, his wife and their 8 children were killed in Gaza. Over 3000 Palestinian children are among the thousands killed.

He asks Congress to do something about the horror. but I don’t think they will. Sadly.

I wish he would go further & stop funding Israel but this is a good start.
