Someone who votes against this, I would think, doesn't have a soul. Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz showed exactly where she stands on the Israel Gaza conflict. I shouldn't even say conflict. [00:00:15] The brutal war that is currently taking place in Gaza, where tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have died, where at least 4000 Palestinian children have been slaughtered thanks to Israel's aerial bombardment. [00:00:31] And so what she wants is for the House of Representatives to sign on to a resolution that she's promoting to show that our government will support Israel, regardless of what Israel does, that our government will provide the support, [00:00:49] unwavering, undying commitment to the Israeli government, regardless of how far right that government is, regardless of how brutal Benjamin Netanyahu is toward the Palestinian people, not just in Gaza, but also the West Bank. That is what she is doing here. [00:01:05] She is basically calling out anyone who has the audacity to have an issue with her resolution. Let's hear more of what she has to say. We're learning about things that have happening behind the scenes, one of which was a comment that was made by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She is a prominent Jewish Democrat. [00:01:21] She was pushing for a resolution that was adopted on a bipartisan basis on the House floor just a couple of weeks ago to reaffirm support for the United States for its war against Israel. I asked her about that resolution and about Democrats who may vote against it, [00:01:37] and she had some sharp remarks for about those Democrats which set off an uproar. There's this vote that's going to happen on the Israel Hamas resolution on the floor. Are you concerned that some Democrats may not support this? I would hope that all members would support a resolution [00:01:54] that condemns terrorism, the brutal attacks that were perpetrated against the Israeli people that were killed. We have 218 hostages. They took 222. I know someone who votes against this, I would think doesn't have a soul. [00:02:13] Someone who votes against this doesn't have a soul. Well, I mean, I would I would vote against it. And I would venture to say that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the one who doesn't have a soul. Because if you read the resolution, which we did, and we're going [00:02:28] to share screenshots of the resolution so you could read it for yourselves. No mention of the slaughter of Palestinian civilians. It's just an endless, you know, show of support for Israel, a complete neglect [00:02:46] of what they are carrying out right now. Just blind support, blind loyalty. It is insane to me. So I'm going to read it to you. And then you tell me if, let's say, a Democratic lawmaker votes against the resolution because it makes no mention of Palestinians. Tell me if you think that those members of Congress are soulless. [00:03:06] Okay, so let's go. Let's read it. Whereas Israel is a major non-NATO ally and major strategic partner of the United States. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the House of Representatives stands with Israel as it defends itself against the Barbary War [00:03:22] launched by Hamas and other terrorists. No mention of the barbaric actions carried out by the IDF against the Palestinian people in Gaza. No mention of that, but I'll continue. I'll read the rest of the resolution. Reaffirms Israel's right to self-defense, condemns Hamas's brutal war [00:03:39] against Israel, calls on all countries to unequivocally condemn Hamas's brutal war against Israel, calls on Hamas to immediately cease these violent attacks and safely release all living hostages and return the bodies of deceased hostages. [00:03:56] Let's go to the next page. Mourns the over 900 Israelis and 11 Americans killed and over 2600 others wounded in Hamas's unprovoked attack on Israel. Reaffirms the United States's commitment to Israel's security, [00:04:12] including through security assistance, in accordance with the 2016 US-Israel Memorandum of Understanding. Urges full enforcement of the Taylor Force Act, title ten of Division S of Public Law [00:04:28] and other restrictions in United States law to prevent US foreign assistance from benefiting terrorists, directly or indirectly. There's more. Condemns Iran's support for terrorist groups and proxies, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. [00:04:44] Urges full enforcement of US sanctions against Iran to prevent Iran's funding of terrorist groups. Hey, by the way, we've been sanctioning Iran all this time. What happened? Aren't they supposed to be sanctions that succeed in preventing Iran from funding these militant groups around the world? [00:05:01] Looks like the sanctions haven't been working, have they? But I'll keep going. Stands ready to assist Israel with emergency resupply. Got to give him the weapons. Got to give them the weapons. Got to drop those bombs on those Palestinian civilians, am I right? [00:05:17] Resupply and other security, diplomatic and intelligence support. No mention of the war crimes that the Israeli government is carrying out as we speak. The war crimes they have been carrying out for a month straight. No mention of that, because Palestinians, in the eyes of some American lawmakers, [00:05:36] are subhuman. Their lives don't matter. Doesn't matter if their five year old children, doesn't matter if they're pregnant women, doesn't matter if they're elderly individuals. In the eyes of people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, their lives don't matter. The only thing that matters is that we show unwavering, unmitigated commitment [00:05:56] and support to the Israeli government, regardless of what they do. Even as the international community watches in shock and awe as these war crimes are committed day after day. And then she has the audacity to say that anyone who has a problem with the lack of [00:06:16] mention of Palestinians in the resolution, if they vote against the resolution because of that, she has the audacity to say that they are soulless. And then I got to be honest. Then you have some Democrats coming out with some horse horse crap, like trying [00:06:31] to weaponize race in order to push back against Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Oh, we don't like the use of the word soulless, because some might think it's an attack against black people. What are you guys doing? No, no. Focus here. Okay? The resolution intentionally leaves out. [00:06:50] The fact that war crimes are being committed against Palestinian civilians. That is the issue at play here. Let me tell you what they're saying. Some of these Democrats brought this directly to Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who has sought to tamp down these tensions, [00:07:06] tried to get members on the same page as this divide has been growing. So there is a divide among those who apparently have a conscience in the Democratic Party and those who don't have a conscience and don't really care about the lives of Palestinians. One of the members even talked to Debbie Wasserman Schultz [00:07:23] and was concerned that is a racial trope. Solis is a racial trope that would be used calling someone soulless as something that could be interpreted very negatively for African American members in particular. Stop hiding behind weaponized race and just call it for what it is. [00:07:44] Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants to smear anyone who gives a damn about innocent Palestinian lives. Please don't muddle the issue. I think it is outrageous for Democrats to criticize Democrats on these votes. [00:08:03] Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, who abstained from voting on the resolution because it didn't mention the loss of innocent Palestinian lives or need for humanitarian aid, told CNN. Perfect. [00:08:19] Pramila Jayapal her messaging today at least, has been top notch. Don't try to muddle it with, oh, I don't like the word soulless. That's the real issue here, because some members of Congress that are, you know, people of color might take it as a racial slur. [00:08:37] It's not a racial slur. This isn't about, you know, going after black people. This is about the fact that we literally have Democratic members of Congress saying with a straight face that they don't give a damn about Israel committing war crimes, and that we should fund them and provide weaponry to them [00:08:57] regardless of what they do. Hey, Debbie. Your smears against others might have worked in the past, and they might still work on some members of Congress who are afraid of being called names. [00:09:13] Okay. It's not working for a lot of people in the country anymore. A lot of people are fearlessly taking to the streets and calling out the disgusting, unmitigated, unwavering support for the war crimes that are currently being committed. [00:09:29] What Hamas did was disgusting, and what the Israeli government has done in response has done little to keep Israeli Palestinians safe. What Benjamin Netanyahu is carrying out right now is only radicalizing more [00:09:47] people, will lead to more hostility toward innocent Israeli civilians, will very likely lead to more hostility toward the United States and its civilians, as we support everything Israel does. And she's sitting there and pretending like she's the arbiter of what is just. [00:10:06] She is anything but. Thanks for watching the video guys.
