Ro Khanna: ‘We Need to Call Out the Occupation and Call out the Genocide’ in Gaza

‘I don’t think people vote just based on a particular position’

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: “It should be a position that convinces Americans and the world that this person is really going to be able to bring a just peace in the region, that they’re going to be able to bring together America in actually getting the recognition of a Palestinian state and actually having Palestinian elections and actually having progress towards a secure Israel with equal rights and a Palestinian state. Now, we can talk about the details of how I believe there shouldn’t be aid and we shouldn’t be sending military weapons and that we need to call out the occupation and call out the genocide, but ultimately, I don’t think people vote just based on a particular position. I think they look at a person and they say, is this the kind of leader who will move us forward, who will help us solve something that has been intractable? And one of the things I love about America is the nation that produced Donald Trump also produced Zohran Mamdani.”
