00:00People absolutely have a right to resist. But I do want to, from the get go, separate Ireland and the case right now in Gaza, because the difference is that the people in Gaza were given autonomy in 2005 and they elected a terror organization that chants from the river to the sea.
00:13And their goal is to destroy the state of Israel. Right. They say from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. We don't want no two states. We want all of it. We don't want no 48. We want all of it.
00:23It's not about fighting for autonomy in your land. It's about fighting against an existing entity that currently possesses land.
00:29And so it is very different. You can't look at them as identical. And also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I know that Ireland was won via war negotiation in 1922.
00:38But when it comes to Hamas and Gaza, there were multiple deals for Palestinian statehood. Every single one of them rejected. And it wasn't by the Israeli side.
00:46So I support resistance movements when diplomacy fails. And here, diplomacy had an avenue not to fail. So I also think it's important to separate the two from the get go.
