Wow. Top quality quality control from NBC. My left ear greatly enjoyed the story.

Spoken like a true gentleman, I yield my remaining time to the gentleman from Oregon

[@user-xh8zp6ht2b]

Your stats are wrong. It’s impossible to have killed 24k women in children out of 34k total when Israel has killed at least 15k combatants.

[@Jouantiese]

Leftist senator repeating Hamas talking points.

[@fabrb26]

It's not algebra or geometry it's political math

[@sonotdown998]

Israel can tell you how many “combatants” they’ve killed but can’t tell you how many civilians they’ve killed. Not to mention that Israel considers ANYONE left in an area they so “graciously asked” citizens to leave a “combatant.”

[@Jouantiese]

@@sonotdown998 Tripe. Israel can estimate ' combatants ' based on battle damage assessment - Hamas determines ' civilians ' - without distinction from their armed fighters..
it's your choice to trust either..

[@sonotdown998]

@@Jouantiese “Battle damage assessment”? The IDF, arguably the second-most technologically advanced army in the world, can’t even “estimate” the difference between a “combatant with a RPG” and an “old guy with a bicycle.” (Much less a celebrity’s aid convoy, hostages, or their own soldiers.)

Israel will start producing the necessary weaponry and even sell them to her allies , It’s time for Israel to become a major weapon producer without asking permission from USA for each weapon produced or sold .

What if it was America that was attacked on Oct. 7? Would you still vote against weapons to attract the enemy?

[@paladro]

israel exists solely because of US goodwill, you should beg louder dog.

[@gersonhay984]

You forgot 9/11.

[@EddyMerckx-1964-Sallanches]

Would that America that is attacked allow it to be carried out for 6 hours w/o America responding like the IDF did ??

[@EddyMerckx-1964-Sallanches]

@@gersonhay984amazing , IDF actions in initial 6hours of attack mirror America’s initial actions on 9/11. Allowing it to happen. Amazing the similarities.

[@user-daziemax]

Thank you Senator for being 1 of 3 brave enough to see and admit that Israel is indiscriminately bombing Gaza. Its not okay for America to be shipping weapons anymore seeing how they are being used. It’s sickening and almost all Americans that I can see speaking out agree. If the GOP supports continuing this shipment they should all go to Gaza themselves and sit there as a civilian. I’m neither republican or democrat but I can see as a natural American citizen who votes on record not sides this is wrong and I don’t want the women, children and elders blood on my hands!!! So thank you Senator . You said everything I’m feeling so I’m feeling hope for the first time in hearing this interview. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
