Rebuild, its always your prerogative to destroy. But i do think we ought to be paying attention to how that issue gets resolve ised because resolved because people will be brokering for power positions in the process of rebuilding, and its a new way to establish dominance. And perhaps through the ngoization of the area to undermine popular struggles for political selfdetermination. In the corner over here. And then well come back. Thank you very much for being here. I wanted to explore a little bit your discussion of working in solidarity with palestinians and, in fact, other oppressed peoples. From where you stand.

My question is is the president s job to submit the use of force first off . Has he done that . Secondly, i am so sick of my representative schumer pontificating on how the republicans are holding the american citizens hostage. Arent we Holding American citizen hostage with unconstitutional law in protecting immigrants . It just befuddles me that they can use this argument. Guest let me address that piece by piece.
