00:00:00.000 So I've spent I've spent my life debating people. Whenever someone, whenever someone starts using personal names and screaming like a lunatic, they're losing the debate. Let me remain.

They were offered a state in 1947, the U.N. partition plan. They rejected it. They were offered a state in 1967 after Israel conquered Judea and Samaria in the West Bank. They rejected it. They were offered a state in 2000, Yasser Arafari or Barak. They rejected it.
00:00:30.000 They were offered a state with Ehud Omer 2008. They rejected it. They have the Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and they did not create a state. In fact, where were you, Cenk, when you say that you care about Palestinian children when Hamas stole the highest rate of per capita international foreign aid, larger than the Marshall Plan, from Palestinian children, did not build schools for them, did not build hospitals, took all the money to buy bombs and to build a network of tunnels, which is larger than the

00:01:27.120 And don't try to cancel me and say that I shouldn't be on. You're not a producer of this show. 0.97
00:01:31.620 Because you are ignorant of the facts and ignorant of the history does not mean that you can cancel my voice. 0.99
