Transcripts For CNNW The 20240703

Facing a potential revolt from his farright flank over his plan to bring three different foreign aid bills to the floor this weekend . Its a move his fiercest critics say, could ultimately cost him the speakership. But Speaker Johnson tells me hes not worried about what could happen. Hes going to do what he thinks is right. Even if the bill gets democratic votes this is very simple. Im operating with the smallest margin in us story. I have a o ve margin oy. So in order to getomhing into this underlying package, we have to havthe tes in the orida pass aule. I dont ha all mrepublicans who agree on that ru. And a rule on the floor or is that it requires a couple of democrats ls Speaker Johnson explaining why there isnt. A tougher border measures this legislation as many House Republicans want there to be coming up anjust moments. E of those republicans, coressman chip roy of texas, is goi to ta to ushe said today hes passed the point of giving gra to the speaker. Whats hiresponse to what . We just heard . All ask them, but were going to start with cnns chief Congressional Corresponden Manu Raju Minus Speaker Johnson admiing, saying the quietart out loud, he needs democratshe you know, hes i onlyave a one vote majity and im only doing this because i wont get support fromepublicans on that whats going to hpen . Do you think hes gointo get the votes . For this packe . And will democrats ultimately save his speakership if it comes wno itt seems that the directis aded. Jake, he had made a Calculat Dision to me on the licy a the process. Exactly Whathe Democrats had waed. They wanted to tie israelid with ukraine aid. And ulmately ithe process of somewhat convoluted proce, they plan to eventually get to the poinwhere this will be alone bipackage, probably totaling about 95illion on the speakeincated to you there might be some changes here and tre around the edgesan part this is very milar to the bi that passed the unite stes senate aboutwo months ago. And thais one big reason why democrats are alg that they may veryl come to Speaker Johnsons defense. Ill just put the day speaking toublicansnd Democrats Up And Down The Le Ery ear that democrats or the pus arbadly divided on this subject t this bill and about Ether Johnson deseed to remain a speaker is your support for yr motion to vacate growing it is growing i think some people are becoming more angryhan i am so this well see what happens today. I dont know how lg people argoing to tolerate this becaushs Ing Nothing Bu Seing the democrats i vent made up my minyet m not happy about this rule a brink here. What you think that far efforts to try to oust him from the job, i thi its horrendous. I think hes dissvice to the conservativveme. I think itits a disservice to the country so the way this is going to break down jake is that on saturday, we eect therell be fully are four ut different packag, three of which ha been leased so far. Fourth onisxpected to come out sometime today. That will be those bills will be approved on sarday, likely a house will approve that. Therell be ere needs to be a procedural vote first to take up that bill. Typically,hose procedural votes are done along party lines, but thats not going happen this time democrats are going to save this rule from going down to allow the underlying bill from going for and what has Anger Mode Fol on the ght is the decision by the speaker of the house to move Boer Security Measures as a separate bill on Border Security along a separate track, it will not be includ as part of this big foreign aid package, even as johnson had indicated for months, that Border Security must be tied with ukraine aid, many of those repuicans are y now gunning for m and saying that he should be out from the speakership cause of that decision . Yeah they they they hate the notion of him getting democratic votes, although in order to vacate Speaker Johnson, twill need and rely upon democratic votes i dont know if u heard our interview with adam schi, democratic congressman, but i asked hiif democrats were going to save the spear, if need be, and he said, bacally im raphrasi, but along the lines of ithis bill, the legislation hes presting is just the Senate Foreign aid bi broken up. Then he started lking about chef, Talkg Abou You know, Wther Ssilities about enough counterbalancing whatever the repuicans are that go f the reserve that didote agait speaker Johnn Democts not voting at all, or disappearing. I mean, there were a whole bunch of hypothals he was talng about that hadnt en asked about yeah. T look, that ia reality of the situation now, Hakeem Jeffries, the democratic leader, has node a final decision about how he wants his membership to come down. His decision will beey. But in talking to rk and file Demo Congrats Iluding congressman like you just spoke to adam schiff there indicating that they are very willing to save speaker Josobecausof The Decision to move ahead on ukraine aid. And that d to be part of johnson calculation herehe knew republicans were nevegog to fall in line on that issue, but democrats what and this is difft than the fall when Mekevin Mccarthy was oued by democrats and eight republicans this time, congressman tom suozzi of new york, told me that he would vote to keep my johnson in the job. Adam smith of Washington State indicated that he might as well asell as Jared Moskowitz of florida im ju a month, the few who are indicating that they areot support this effort to oust mike johnson and Hakeem Jeffries says, its time to save mike johnson. Thawill happen. The big question though jake, can johnson survives the speakership propped up by democrats . Thats going to be ju question for johnson. Andrew conference.

Thank you so much for joining us. I want to play a clip of what Speaker Johnson just told me about his view of the importance of passing the foreign aid bills that are going to come before theouse. I believe on satday, take a listen and were going to stand dear friend and we going to that vlamir putin doesnt e rch through europe. These are importanresponbilities. A stngmerics good for the entire world since world war ii, really, relyhe responsibility forhe free world s been shiftednto our shlders but u disagree with them. Why is that case not good enough forou . Really disagree with anyontr in the broadse of the e words. In ct, i wrote oped yesterday out our need to snd right aloside it. Israel i believe that in stngly i tried last night all the way till midnight owes and get uso put a Israel Burst O bill on thfloor. Ts just focus on israel. G a rule that lets focus on that and then have a debate about with respect to it. And is funding. My concern about is packe is its 95 of foreign aid when a we 30 to and a half trillion dollars in debt. But beere also dealing th yearas you know, has been the importance of making sure we secure the borders of the United States so we ve 24,000 over 24,00chinese nationals, 85 of whom are sing adults than all of last this fiscal year. We, more than 381. Thats it. 38that we had in 2021the last yr, psident trumps tenure in terms of the fiscal year. So the reality but he is we need to do that and do our job. I would love to d what we n to support israel again, i suprt it. Ut in this 95 blion package, theres 9 billion and humanitarian aid, Whicif You Go Look at well, w it goes tware the same kinds of organizations,ot unrwa, because weoothat out a couple oweeks ago. But that goes to fund hamas. So we funding israel, ich i pport. But were also funding israels enemies and funding has this is the kind ofuplicitouscrap the American People are red up. So id like to go back to the drawing board, pass israel stand alone and not have this package that has that funding and it did that i think is nefarious and focus on t rder first. So in tms of the border issue, i asked him a lot of House Republicans nts to have strengthening the border, tougher restrictions frictions on t border, and iigration, et cetera. As partf this, why isnt it pt of it and said its very simple. Have history of the congrs. I can only lose one vote and therefor because there are so many republicans who will vote against the rule to introduce this legislation that he would need demratic votes to introduce the rule to allow the votes on this legislatn. Aemocrats wont have, they wont vote for anything that includes the Immigration Stuff and ats why he just, you know, this is the reality of it and i just wonder if by, opposing everything your group of people who are, who are upset with what the speaker is doing if you havent taken yourself out of relevance in terms of whats in the bill. If you were committed to, i will vote for the role as long as you put in immigration restrictions, then you might have more of an influence on what hes bringing to the floor for a vote on saturday . Yeah. Jake, so i told the speaker last night, number one, that we had full unanimity among the Freedom Caucus in particular. And that we could advance israel to the floor and support the role and have a vote on that and then i said that i believe that we could get agreement on the rules certainly would have my support on moving a rule forward if you had ukraine with Border Security attachment, Border Security, i offer numerous options. Right. Not just hr to take it or leave it, but some variations of hr into maybe you could take out a verify and be able to move it along with it because theres some ag community i have some concerns about it. I mean, i support you verify, but there are things we could do to try to move it around. Theres a Voter Identification that weve got legislation that were working on that ive been working on with the speaker on theirs other issues that we could deal with, just stop the abuse of parole. These are all things that we threw out there as options. We dont know what the rule vote would look like because weve never tried thats the truth. We never tried to send over an actual Border Security package with ukraine, so that we can make clear to our democratic colleagues. The other side of the island, the senate and the white house that were serious about that. And to the American People want to see that first because were dealing with that crisis from laken riley to the bodys washing up in the rio grande to the ranch devastation to the cause of thousand migrants the new york that are out there saying, hey, youre kicking his out of hotels to go put us in these centers and theyre protesting. I mean, this is like its really devastating for the American People what were seeing you happen and, and i cant overstate the importance of the chinese nationals that were talking about. The large number of single adult population. So just i assume youre gonna vote against the rule fool on saturday, if Marjorie Taylor and tom massie pushed forward a motion to vacate, are you going to support vacating Speaker Johnson as you know, i oppose that last september i do not want to go into that zip code, if you will. I would rather us do our job, tried to move this stuff four and work together, but i will say im very disappointed in the speaker this is a bridge too far in terms of where were headed right now in terms of putting ukraine first rather than americas borders first i am sympathetic and open to having a conversation about israel and ukraine but only after youve done your job to secure the border in the United States. And so thats my starting place. And you and i sat down in january 15 months ago this this rule that they want to put forward thats not in an open debate. I mean, what i want to put that to bet. This is not an open process. This is precooked to give you the exact result that came out of the senate. The numbers are put border all the Defense Industries numbers. Its all the lobbyists numbers, its all the pentagons numbers. Theyre all doing it to give you exactly the same as the senate bill its all precooked, not going to be an open process for amendments and border is specifically left out. And i said, hey, would you just put ukraine on the Floor Standalone . The answer is no. Why . Hi, because they want to be able to manage the votes with israel. So we put israel on the board, on the Floor Standalone know, because democrats won sport israel. Look, the bottom line here is we ought to try to move this stuff. Theyre regularly for water. This is not regular order or if were going to do a package in autonomy in America First package that includes the border because thats by the way is what the speaker said almost every day and every week from november for until last month, literally, go look at all the speeches, all the quotes. He said, no ukraine without border. Yeah, republican congressmen, chip roy of texas, thanks so much good to see you, sir hilton today.

One board memr said, ss not satisfied with where columbia i termsf his Campus Climateack in decemberasou may rall, a similar hearing went Disastroly Wng for two university leade, eventually ending with thpresident s of rvarand the univerty of pennsylvania resigning. They qution of whether calling for the genocide of jewsmountso harassment and antisemitisma colu University President today, dr. Minouchshafik and other School Leaders had a chance to answer that very same estion. Herewhat they said does calling for the genocide of jews violate colombias code of conduct, mr. Greenwald yes, it does. Ms shipman . Yes, it does. Dr. Sheffield . Yes, it does. And professor chooser . Wanted their less on our panel is here. Those answers would have been so cle, ick,nd definitive had they not been proceeded by what happened lab and for the questing about i knew thatnow, yeah. If you read her preparedestimo before she s there front of the the was theassage that really stood out to me and it said somhing lik please remember univey presence are not liticians which i know w sort of wul thking like at. Other people get to decide if youre a politician or not. But i thk the reas that was so of baked into the atemenwas that has bn the real problem. You become University President by virtue of a number of things y or b or Academic Experience youre the work youve done for the university, but its not usually because you have a decadeslongecord of political training and at least Coursen Crisisfter Wt A Crash Ppened from before, but even so she ran into some headwinds today. Yeah. m columbia says its firing one professor hired after He Postesupport for the hamas attack on october 7. Columbia then condemned to tenured Professor Joseph mossad who described hamas is october 7 attack as a quote, stunning victory in an online article, but he still has a job. I mean, tenure still exists. I want you to listen to this exchange with republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik of new york is still in fact listed on the columbia website as chair of the academic review committee, are you aware of that i would need to check that the websites right here in this state because he hasnt been removed as chair i would like to do you have my commitment. Hell be removed as chair to de i have my commitment commitment that i will come back to it, but you cant say at this that this hearing that he should be removed as chair he violates certainly not one him is chair and we are looking at the issue of faculty and mr. Wade here, move this chair. His comments are important and i believe that one of the steps that we could take in terms of discipline is to remove him from that leadership position. Thank you for that direct answer so some of the subtext of this is interesting because its not as easy as a president saying this person is important and he should be removed as chair because colleges have all sorts of screwy rules and the faculty to deal with. But, but greene greenwald didnt say hes gone. Greenwald said his comments were a porn. I believe that one of the steps we could take in terms of discipline is to remove him from the leader Precip Position but his answer was much more politic than hers. Yeah. I mean, just like as margaret was saying, university presents have a lot of different stakeholders here that they have to answer to. And they also dont take a lot of Crisis Comms Classes or do this as phi the first time theyve had any sort of q a and a tough setting before. So i do think i mean, obviously she could have answered much more definitively here and as her co panelists did. Yeah. And the thing about Joseph Mossad anybody paying attention to this Campus Controversy Story would know that he wrote that story calling the hamas attack but appraising it as a victory. Thats what martin months ago. Months ago . And one would think that the university would say, okay, well, this guy maybe shouldnt be chairing our committee, but universities are tough place, jake, write and they dont play by the unfortunately, i dont play by the same rules as the normal world does or summaries. And in terms of ten years guaranteed forever and ever and ever, thats what it means, no matter what youd like, the Supreme Court i Supreme Court. Exactly. Were not even the Supreme Court. I think theres quite, you could kind of booted if you did something that badly, but the bigger question is, the bds movement on campus, right . Has been existing. The boycott, divestment, sanction of israel. But its been going on for a long time. One of my good friends ran this Organization Called campus maccabees, which kind of tried to try to battle back and push on this for years. Thats been going on and he would he would kind of Sound The Alarm Bell for years and years and everybody kind of poopooed and it wasnt real. Now we see it in full, full, full bursting glory. If you were saying that, describe that term, but its a campuses all across america. Its a problem and we need to figure out why these young people feel its okay to have these antisemitic views margaret, i want to play the sound and get your reaction another moment from im hearing a Columbia Universitys president struggled to answer about specific Student Chance that weve all become quite familiar with since october 7. Take a listen moms shouting from the river to the sea, palestine will be free or long live the infanttoddler are those antisemitic comments . When i hear those terms, i find them very upsetting and i have heard thats a great answer to a question i didnt ask. Is that fall under definition of antisemitic . Behavior yes or no why is it so tough . Because its its its a difficult issue. Maybe i should ask your task force, does that qualify as antisymmetric behavior of those statements . Yes or no . Yes. Okay do you agree with your task force . We use the question. Yeah. So the question so yes, you do okay. Its the intifada, not the infanttoddler, but in any case, what do you what do you make of the exchange . Its interesting before, before this testimony today, a group of about two dozen jewish faculty at the University Preemptively published something sort of questioning whether this is really the right theater for these conversations, sort of suggesting that congress, these congressional hearings have been highly politicized. And in the words that i saw around the commentary around this, that it was sort of a trap that there was a trap for a college president. So i think she wants to drop on that question. And this is again, this is the balancing act. It is not that antiemites what does tm what shs struggling with. It isalannghat act between lolowing people to express their views, but ensuring that people are physically safe on campus, therare red lines that genocide is Never Acceptable wheyou talk about it when they under the ique lights trying to walk the correct line. It is a High Politized environment and thats wh youaw her trying to vigatehe diffict stuff dad urban, megan hayes margaret, tell i thanks so much. Appreciate it.

In our Law And Justice lead a new filing today in Donald Trumps criminal hush money trial. And it just so happens to contain the former president s long list of pass legal troubles. Not all the way back to the 70s, but more recent ones. Its a standard move in new york state trials. It says if the defendant chooses to testify, prosecutors have you know, can bring up any past misconduct and criminal acts and that but they have to let him know. And todays the day. Remarkably, the former president has a few of them, including being forced to pay for falsifying Business Records, forced to pay damages for defamation against e. Jean carroll, forced to pay fees for a bad faith lawsuit against hillary clinton. The judge in this case will have to decide which if any of these are relevant enough to be brought up before a jury with us now, former trump attorney tim parlatore, and we should point out to him this only comes if they need it in the view of the prosecutors to undermine the president s credibility. And only if he chooses to testify, do you think hes going to ultimately testify i dont think he will, but litigating emotion like this is a very important factor in making that determination. Thats playing it has to be done at the beginning of the trial. And so you want to really have an idea of what, what is and is not out of bounds before you make that decision. But honestly, i dont think that he should or will testify in this case because i dont think that he has anything to add. Its just its unnecessary risk. So lets talk about some of these issues that will come up in whats called a, in new york a sandoval hearing do you think that it is relevant and we had some other laura is talking about this, the Letitia James case, attorney general, Letitia James saying that donald trump falsified Business Records and the judge ordered 355 million or whatever it was unbelievable. I cant even wrap my brain around it the argument would be its it goes to credibility if he has been adjudicated as not being honest and pay and find accordingly, thats relevant. Correct . I do think that that ones gonna be problematic for them because it is something thats currently being contested on appeal, and it is also something that is so closely paralleling this where its a falsifying Business Records that it could be one of those things that they will find him more prejudicial than that, but it is certainly something that i would have expected them to rais. So week, both the prosecution and defense in the judge are focused on Jury Selection. Theyve already seated seven jurors are you surprised with how quickly its gone . I am i thought the Jury Selection was going to take a lot longer and the fact that theyre already at seven i mean, theyre going to finish by the end of the week and what do you think the defense is doing right now in terms of preparing for tomorrow when theyre gonna be interviewing more of the potential hundreds that could be picked to fill the remaining, i guess, five jurors and six alternates, 11 spots. Well, there are definitely focusing on the past social media behavior of these of these potential jurors who was something that they use quite effectively in the first day of showing how certain people have made posts years ago in some cases, that would be something that would be basis for a challenge for cause. So i think that theyre primarily focusing on anything they can figure out in the backgrounds are social media activities of the people that theyre going to be dealing with. Tamara so trumps team has been concerned about finding an impartial jury in manhattan, which is heavily democratic. Obviously we went through some of the jurors that have been picked so far. Once a corporate lawyer, once a civil litigator first unusual to have that many lawyers on a journey . Yeah. Well, first of all, what do you think is that is that good or bad to have lawyers on the jury depends on the case yeah. Ive never had one. But yeah, it certainly depends on the case. If youre trying to mount a technical defense and have them really stick to what the law is that think age an attorney on the jury can be very good thing yeah. So but uh, lawyers, ive had on my panels if i ever say to them like, well, what do you say to people who think that this is just a pissy little charge youre taking a misdemeanor and adding another misdemeanor, morphing into a felony and youre treating you know, people say no one other than trump would be treated that way. And there e lawyers who say thats not true and like they t trumphating lawyers just just people say, no, this is exactly what the kind of thing at district attorneys bring. So it also could work the other way. I think ive tried cases like that in manhattabefore where misdemeanors werturned int felonies. And so yes, it is something that happens. And i think having lawyers on the jury that can again, depending on which w they vote, the problem with having a lawyer on e juries that ey can be a very strong voice and influence e rest of the path and so if they are strong to one side or e other, then that can sway everybody else on the panel what do you make of wh happened yesterday . Trump was apparently making eye contact with potenal jurors. He would monastery was admonished by Dge Merchan For Ttering while one ofhem was being questioned. Judge mercha said wont have jurors of potential jurors intimidated. What what did you make of that andid it did you have flashbacks but how difficult i to do making eye contact with jurors is not a bad thing. Its certainly something that i do. Its something that if you do you do it with your eyes wide open, youre all being sympathetic and likeable. It sounds like it was there was some glorying going on thats certainly does sound like that. And also, what did he mutter . You know, that that can be problematic. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever he muttered, but i think that the judge certainly cut it off. And as i understand it, that juror was not seated anyway, tim parlatore. Thank you so much.

Eight Million People, 8 million including 2 million children under the age of five have been forced to flee their homes. So escapes the, escape the horrors of war. This is according to doctors without borders. Cnns larry madowo reports now for us the grim one year, marker of sudans civil war 14,000 killed more than 8 Million People forcibly displaced from their homes accusations of rape murder and horrific abuses sudan is on the brink bag in world to see whats happening send real help there would an atom coulombs countries of the world are busy with the rest of the world. But we are third world countries no one is concerned about us. That is why we all suffered suffering so grave that half the population need humanitarian aid brutal war between the Sudanese Armed forces and arrival paramilitary group, Rapid Support forces, just entered its second year nothing was spared, and civilians trapped in the conflict zone, a traumatized as you want. Now, if no, havent we. Were, inside our house when we were looted, robbed, and beaten, all of this happened to us. They took our money and gold and even took my laptop the us is the largest donor of humanitarian aid to sudan. And just days ago, washington pledged another 100 million in Emergency Aid bringing the total amount donated since the start of the conflict, to 1 billion but secretary of state Antony Blinken has accused the warring parties are blocking vital. Its civilians, and egregious abuses. Both the saff and rsf have carried out war crimes, including rapes, torture extrajudicial killings, and other human rights abuses. Commanders for the saff and the rsf have previously denied such allegations were the world seemingly powerless to stop it Amnesty International warns the warranted dan is likely to continue and cause more civilian suffering if these strong statements and condemnation from the us and the un and the African Union have not worked in sudan. So whats the fastest way to resolve the conflict exert pressure on the wedding parties to end violations against civilians. Two who and indiscriminate attacks against civilians to allow humanitarian access and to ensure they are held accountable for the violations they are permitted into. Larry madowo, cnn, narrow beam and our thanks to larry madowo for that report. Also on our worldly today among the pro protests across the country this week, this image from yale caught our eye. Its a poster honoring walid daqqa. Walid daqqa was the longestserving Palestinian Prisoner in an israeli gel. He died of cancer while in custody land last week. Stick international had called for daca, who was in his 60s to be released on humanitarian grounds after he was diagnosed with Bone Marrow Cancer in 2022. Amnesty issued a statement saying, quote, Death In Custody of walid daqqa is a cruel reminder of israel, israels disregard for palestinians right to life its an interesting term, turn of phrase there, a disregard for palestinians right to life, much of the news Media Coverage of walid daqqas death after his 38 years in prison was along these lines. Many stories barely, if at all even mentioned why walid daqqa was in the israeli prison to begin with, he was in prison because he was part of a militant group that killed this 19yearold moshe tamam if the Coverage Menton mentioned tamam at all, it called him and israeli soldier, which he was in the sense that virtually every israeli 19yearold as a soldier, because that country has conscription but at the time that he was kidnapped and murdered tamam was not serving as a soldier. He was on leave and he was visiting his girlfriend in 1984 while lead daqqa was part of the pflp, the popular front for the liberation of palestine. The original mission of his cell was to kidnap an israeli soldier into syria, bring them to syria to use as a bargaining chip. Thats according to Israeli Security sources. So a pflp cell commanded by while daqqa kidnapped moshe tamam at beit lead junction. At first they hit him in one of the Terrorists Houses for two days, the Israeli Security source told me, but when they realized that they would probably get caught on their way to syria, they decided to murder him moshe tamam was taken to an olive grove near me vote de ton where the members of pflp shot him once in the head and once in the chest, killing him they then abuse the body with a knife, unquote. His corpse was found four days after his abduction now, while lead daqqa was not the shooter and he denied his involvement and commanding role in the pflp cell. But he went through a trial and the court ruled that while the daqqa was an equal participant in the murder of this 19yearold israeli in prison while he daqqa became a writer. And by some accounts, he matured and changed which of course erases the murder in which he participated. Not at all. Its not as if the Israeli Government is beyond criticism for any of this, for how its treated while the dhaka or for not allowing him to visit with his family before he died, that Progressive Israeli newspaper haaretz wrote an Editorial Excoriating the netanyahu government in particular National Security minister Itamar Ben Gvir the first and foremost of this governments, racists are at says for tearing down the dhaka families morning attempt arresting five dhaka family members, and for refusing to return the body to the family the rightwing israeli Education Minister calling for Tel Aviv University To Fire Doctor are not matar who was walid daqqa as friends . Hes a philosophy lacks for quote, for daring to eulogize him according to haaretz, i asked moshe tamams niece or tile to mom who never got to meet her uncle. What she thought of all of this. She said, quote instead of leaving us alone for the following years, the murderer while he dhaka kept being a terrorist from his prison cell, she said he was glorified by our enemies. They teach about them in schools. They made a play about them. He was an inspiration to many other terrorist who later followed his footsteps and murdered innocent victims she continued the most upsetting thing is that while we lost my uncle when he was only 19, Amnesty International, which is supposed to be an International Human Rights Organization glorifies this evil murderer not even mentioning what he did. They are actually doing International Gaslighting too terror vicms. The truth doet tter to them, unquote it is not surprising the degree to which, to many people involved in this conflict are n ablto see the humanity of nocent folks. On the oth side. Its tragic and its hideous and is led to an ful loss of life ooctor 7. And since october 7, but its not rprising war is awful. But a pri minister whose politil survival depends on Antarab Zealots like Itamar Bengvir can only lead to decisions roedness, inability to seeumanitin an arab face, and the degree whh to many journalists and people in Thhuman Rights Commity Ha blocked out the humanity in ansrli face is also problematic, ote. It is Heart Wrenching that while lead daca has died in israeli custody, said Amnesty International heartenching i ask th sincerely, does it ranch the heart of anyone at Amnesty International that 19yearold, moshe tamam was murdered aone lets give or tile tamam. The last word, quote myself, st as most Iselis Aspire live in peace but this will never happ if the world makes murder us, coexistence will only happen with those who lieve in our right to exist unquote well be right back do you think that ourocracy is at risk . We have to be very concerned why do you think hes doing this in can he be talking . How to do you think hes guilty .
