0:00The Islamic Republic in Iran is using them as a tool.
0:03What is Iran's got to do with this?
0:04As a tool for their Islamic expansion.
0:07When did the Islamic Republic of Iran.
0:07Because they don't. Hold on,
0:08hold on. When did the Islamic Republic of Iran,
0:10you're Iranian, American.
0:11Yes, I believe.
0:11Yes, I am.
0:12When was the Islamic Republic of Iran founded? 1979.
0:15When was Gaza occupied by Israel?
0:17Uh, 19.
0:19Well, the very first time. 66.
0:2066. Yeah.
0:21So can we do the math together?
0:2312 years before the Islamic Republic of Iran existed?
0:25Yep. Israel was oppressing,
0:27occupying, dispossessing the people of Gaza.
0:29So your argument makes no sense.
0:30Are there any terrorist organizations?
0:31At the time, the PLO was considered a terrorist organization
0:34by the entire western world.
0:35All right. So what time was there?
0:37Hamas did not exist till 1980s. Exactly.
0:39My point is after the Islamic Republic came,
0:42it became chaotic because the Islamic Republic has started to use the,
0:46what's the so called innocent Palestinians for their own ends.
0:49So called innocent Palestinian.
0:50You don't think Palestinians are innocent?
0:51Not all of them. Because what about the 17,000 children were killed?
0:55They're doing the same. 17,000 children were killed.
0:57Were they not innocent? Who, uh,
0:59who's responsible for that?
1:01Israel dropped the bomb. Hamas is responsible.
1:03Hamas is responsible for hiding in hospitals and,
1:05and banking tunnels underneath.
1:07So when children are shot in the head by Israeli snipers,
1:09Israeli snipers aren't Responsible for that.
1:11Look, it's a simple question.
1:13Here's the problem.
1:13When Israeli snipers shoot Palestinian children and Gaza in the head,
1:16as eyewitness testimony and doctor's testimony proves,
1:19that's not the fault of the Israeli snipers.
1:21This is, this is the problem
1:22because when you have a problem is you won't answer the question.
1:24I'll ask you a third time.
1:25When Israeli snipers shoot Palestinian children in the head,
1:27is that not the fault of Israeli snipers?
1:29Well, you gotta let me finish.
1:30No, you gotta answer the question.
1:32Fourth time when Israeli snipers will get to your answer.
1:34Palestinian children in the head.
1:36We're running out of time.
1:36I need to know what you think about innocent children
1:38cause what you said was pretty outrageous.
1:39You said so called innocent Palestinians for the fifth time.
1:43When Palestinian children are shot in the head by Israeli snipers,
1:45is that not the fault of Israel?
1:47What did the children do? What did you do?
1:49Tell me that the children deserve to be shot in the head.
1:51Because the problem is, you know,
1:52there millions of people are watching.
1:53You say they start brainwashing children.
1:56They start brainwashing children at a very long age,
1:59young age. So you support exactly.
2:00Sniping children in Gaza. Look,
2:02do other people here support sniping children in Gaza?
2:04Is that a conservative position?
2:06Now what if they're wearing a suicide vest?
2:08They weren't. But what if they are?
2:10They're not though. What if they are?
2:12I have friends who went there,
2:13doctors went there, American doctors,
2:15they came back as we the multiple children.
2:16What if they are gun shop shots?
2:18What if they are held banned?
2:18What if they are held banned on killing you and your family?
2:21A 10 year old child, an eight year old child,
2:22a six year old child?
2:24Because, because this is bad for you.
2:26Like I said, you're sitting on live television.
2:28There are millions of people are gonna see your neighbors,
2:30your friends, you support the killing of children.
2:32Millions of people don't know what's going on.
2:34Even your fellow right wingers are saying don't go this far.
2:37Millions of genocide, sure,
2:38but don't millions of killing kids
2:40don't understand the brainwashing that is going on in Islamic Republic
2:44and in Palestine to create this hatred with Iran
2:47so much that you're supporting the killing of Palestinian children
2:50who never harmed you or any other Israeli.
2:52That's insane. Look,
2:53and the fact that you support Trump's ethnic cleansing
2:55now doesn't surprise me. I didn't say ethnic cleansing.
2:57I said cleansing of the land.
2:58Alright, pause because you need.
