Brooke Goldstein: I’ve Actually Risked My Life to Advocate for Palestinian Children ... Hamas Told Me that They Want War

EXCERPT:

GOLDSTEIN: “I‘m the only person at this table who‘s actually risked my life to advocate for Palestinian children. I spent two years in and out of Jenin, Ramallah, Tulkarm and Nablus. I‘m the one who interviewed Hamas firsthand. I interviewed Islamic Jihad firsthand. I sat with the al-Aqsa martyrs brigades, and they told me to my face that they want war. This is not about Hamas. This is about an ideology. And the ideology is radical Islam. They teach children in their schools, in their textbooks, to revere death, to love death, not to love life. And they use those population as human shields. This is what you get with a terrorist state and a democracy fighting on an asymmetric battlefield and in a completely impossible place. Because how are they supposed to defeat Hamas when there‘s no food shortages, but there is starvation?”
