Congressman following his threat to withhold weapons from israel if they proceed with Military Operations in rafah. Welcome to fox news live, im jacqui heinrich. Griff friday mere we go, hour packs, im hour two, im griff jenkins. Lucas tomlinson is live outside the white house with more. Reporter griff, in the last hour you interviewed a republican congressman who represents a district joe biden won back in 2020. He says he does not support impeachment. I think what President Biden is doing at this moment of war is unconscionable, and i think as cory mills pointed out, he is putting electoral politics ahead of the safety and security of one of our closest allies in the world. But were less than six months away from an election, and i trust the judgment of the American People. Reporter many have pointed out that Ronald Reagan withheld f16s and cluster bombs, george h. W. Bush too too, ike had his suez crisis, but some say whats different this time is a hamas slaughtering israelis, some of them just kids enjoying a music concert. Over 100 remain hostage including some americans. Congressman cory mills has drafted an Impeachmentment Resolution against biden saying, quote, President Biden solicited a, quote, quid pro quo with the Foreign Government of us israel that withholding precisionguided Weapons Shipments in order to try to extract military policy changes. President biden sought to pressure the government of israel the take step by conditioning official United States government acts of significant value to israel. The top democrat on the House Armed Services committee criticized President Biden but says these arent precisionguided weapons that are being withheld. I have spoken with a number of different officials at the white house, and their claim is that they are only slowing down the delivery of 22,000 2,000pound dumb bombs, all right . Why isnt that message here . I dont think the president made it clear during his interview on cnn. Reporter some think as the nationwide protests on College Campuses have affected the president s thinking, not the civilian death toll in gaza. Griff . Griff Lucas Tomlinson live9 from the north lawn, thank you. Jacqui antiisrael protests are continuing across the country this weekend with a day of action planned in New York City if later this afternoon thats expected to draw a large police presence. C. B. Cottons live in brooklyn, new york, with the latest on this for us. Hey, c. B. Reporter yeah. As you can see, weve got great weather here in New York City. The sun is out, but its not too hot, and this is typically a recipe for a pretty large protest turnout, right . Weve seen other propalestinian demonstrations here at the Barclays Center since the start of the israelhamas war, but this demonstration could mark the beginning of other ones to come on a more frequent basis especially now that Student Protesters are finishing exam, heading home for the summer. Where are they going to protest now . Places like this, arenas, amphitheaters, public parks, things like that. Within the past hour, weve watched nypd officers bring over more barricades, take a look here, more officers come over in anticipation of this protest set to begin at 32 p. M. Local time. You can see right over here, take a look, im going to have my Photojournalist Pan the camera, some protesters arriving here on scene with those fliers. Todays protest is organized by the group which publicized the rally on social media referring to israel as a Settler Colony and saying, quote, we demand an end to the occupation. If end quote. On monday propalestinian rallies were also held in the big apple with the goal of disrupting the met gala. That did not come to fruition, but we did watch a world war i monument get defaced. The nypd says a Teen Agitator has been arrested, but were going to be out here all day monitoring this Protest Test Set to get i understand way in less than an hour. This group will not stay here, they will march through the city streets, and we will be monitoring, brings it to you bringing it to you live here on fox news live. Back to you. Griff for more on Campus Protests across the country, were joined by George WashingtonUniversity Law professor melinda roth and author arizona rah azra nomani. We just i saw in the report up in new york the day of antiisrael protest, day of action, we saw c. B. Was pointing to one of the protesters holding antiit reel ooh signs, and you israel, and you brought one that appears to be maybe even the exact same one. Held that up. Exactly. For griff so, griff, for 20 years ive been investigating this network that wants to destroy israel. A lot of people think its groups or that are propalestinian, but i want to show the fine print. What does it say . Griff party for socialism and liberation. Yeah. This is a selfdescribed marxist, leninist group. Im not speaking in hyperbole, im speaking their words. They are on line, they are popular across the world. This is a Global Network that has now connected with these people who have signs that we now have become familiar withing American Muslims for pal stint the palestine, the ucberkeley professor whose nickname is hatem, they are working directly with that party for socialism and liberation. You know, with these kind of chants from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. Griff well, and, you know, melinda, i was covering the protesters there at gw, and many of the jewish studentses some of whom we interviewed right here on the show felt threatened by things like from the river to the sea and intifada revolution. Finish what are your thoughts . Well, first, thank you for having me. Im so glad to see those signs because they show a story that these protests are anything but peaceful, and theyre not calling for support of the palestinians for the most part, theyre certainly not calling for the release of the hostages. The agenda is a deeper and much bigger one. It is filled with hate, it is filled with hate for israel, for jewish people but also hate against america. And i think, i think they are a danger and dangerous, and theyve become violent in many cases. Griff you talk about danger, and as a parent of a daughter about the go to college and another one whos graduate requested from College Graduated from college, i fear where were headed with this. Azra, you know, youre seeing kind of a different reaction. I will give credit to the administrators here at a gw, they seem to not want to acquiesce to the demands of these students even though she met with them yesterday, some of the propalestine students out there. But then out in california as we pointed out, you literally have across the board as Congressman Mike Lawler put it School Administrators acquiescing to petulant are children. But yet the messaging and where it eludes is what concerns me. Yeah, youre so right to think about as a father, because this is ideological. For 232 22 years ive studied these professors from ucberkeley to georgetown here in washington, d. C. , and they head up institutions, programs with foreign funding to influence our children to join this entity that i call the woke army. You know, the title of my book is not subtle, right in what is that . Hammer and sickle griff right. Clearly. Weve got a copy of the book up there on the screen, and we see an alliance finish. Yeah, this is an unholy alliance, exactly. And it is an army. We have these different Battle Fronts From Gw To ucirvine. And in each one they have battle commanders, field marshals. And these are people from that marxist, lend anyonist Network Across the country, and thats why were seeing the Campus Protests in spain, itly, south america because this target that they have right now is israel and america, but our entire global democracy as we have it right now. Griff well, and its not clear the students understand that. In fact, melinda, its not even clear the students understand the narrative, we could start with a History Lesson about the fact that there has never been an actual palestine state. But dont take it from me. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton talking about the students may be a little bit uneducated on their history. Listen here. I have had many conversations, as you have had, with a lot of young people over the last many months now. And youre right, they dont know very much at all about the History Of The Middle East or, frankly, about history in many areas of the world including in our own country. Griff melinda, has a she got it right . I think not only does she have it right, i think its even worse than what she says because, as asra was saying, there is an infiltration into academia now, and and we have professors using their platforms to indock try nate if students indoctrinate students into a line of thinking where theyre not thinking. Were not teaching them to critically think, were teaching them the meaning were not even teaching them the meaning, were teaching them words like apartheid and colonization and genocide, but were not really using the right deaf anythings of those words definitions of those words, and were using them conveniently to get a message that were trying and im not saying we, because i am not part of that. That is not how i run my classroom. But thats whats happening in universities across the world. Not just here, but across the world. And i think, again, it is extremely dangerous. Griff and extremely antisemitic in many cases. Asra, ill give you the last word. My question to you is, its clear were going to see this at least at the dnc in chicago. The march on the, the nc, its already underway the dnc. But does it continue beyond that . Does it continue beyond the election in. Yes, this will go beyond the election, and they are trying to capture a generation of young people. And so youre as a parent if exactly where Everybody Needs to be. We need to be close to our children. We need to understand what theyre being indoctrinated with. Have those critical conversations at home, because theyre not going to happen always in the classroom. And we have to recognize that this is a war for the hearts and minds of the future generations. Not only the destruction of israel, which they want to do, and the trunks of america destruction of america, but the destruction of our future generations, and we have to be the protectors and defend pers. Griff well put. And i hope families from coast to coast having Conversations Justin Light this about whats happening. Asra, melinda, thank you for this conversation. Have a great weekend. Thank you. We actually think that a Rafah Operation would weaken israels position both in these talks and writ large. Weve talked about this before, that a Major Military operation in rafah would further weaken israels standing in the world. Jacqui state Department SpokespersonMatthew Miller sating stating the administrations position on a potential large scale operation in rafah. Israels already moving in in that area on a smaller scale, ordering people in more areas of rafah to evacuate. Last week the Biden Administration paused a shipment of weapons in response to israels planned large scale Ground Operation in rafah. Meanwhile, on the eve of israels memorial day, the Hostages Families Forum is dedicating the rally to the families of the 38 murdered individuals whose bodies are being held captive by hamas in gaza, asking the government to prioritize the release of hostages over operations in gaza. Joining me now, two members of Family Members of those israeli hostages, jonathan and his son, hamas hostage, and daniel, his grandfather has a his 84th birthday today in cap ativity. Hes been in captivity since october 7th. Thank you both for being here, so much. Thank you. Jacqui i just want to begin with the fact that you have a great grandfather celebrating his 84th birthday in captivity, being held by hamas. That is really a stunning thing. It is completely devastating, and i never thought we would come to this day, that a great grandfather, the only great grandfather held hostage in the world, my grandfather, who fought all his life for peace and for justice will be for almost 220 days held hostage in gaza. With no conditions. And i tell you, in that age so long is really almost feeling hopeless. But then to you just spoke about all the murdered ones and 10 of them are from kibbutz near if us. For us 36 still held hostage in gaza which is a huge number. One of them is one of my best friends from the kibbutz from the same group, the guy who taught us baseball on the grass of the kibbutz. I tell you, its a very hard day for me. I didnt think it would be so difficult, but its very difficult for me to function today. I think that my grandfather is celebrating there is no celebration of his birthday in gauze the saw today, may 11th. In gaza. Jacqui you know, when you hear the Biden Administration cautioning israel against a large scale Ground Operation, obviously theres been a lot of concern raised about the plight of palestinians in gaza and the famine that theyre facing. But at the same time, you have four hamas battalions there continuing to hold hostages and use human shields. So when you hear the administration publicly telling israel to dial back and your not hearing that quite as much as public calls for hamas to release the hostages, how is that digestinged among your families digested among your families . How do you respond to that, how do you feel about that when youre watching this public messaging . It seems to be dedicated more to israel than to hamas. And we know that the end of the war is due to the release of the to hostages. If tomorrow they would release all the hostages, that would be no rafah, no more war and, of course, i would prefer everyone to sit at the Negotiation Table without fighting. But, you know, sometime in The Middle East negotiations are under fire. We saw hamas shooting the rockets on devastating moment when few soldiers died and then few days after they came to say, yes, on the agreement. I hope from the other side now its kind of a pressure that will very soon, and hopefully just after Independence Day it will bring an agreement. I think what is important, that all the parties will negotiate under the the table, on the table and will not go off of it until they get an agreement. Those people are die canning every day. We just dying every day. We just heard another one today. So really there is nothing else to do except getting into the Negotiation Table and make a fair deal for everyone. The u. S. Have to press for a fair if deal for everyone and come to the an agreement as fast as possible because for me and the humanitarian part, we are losing everyone and everyone are humanitarian now. Jacqui jonathan, i want to ask you, you know, when you hear the Biden Administration saying that they would approve of a small scale operation that a does very specific things like target the hamas leaders and troy to prevent weapons from being smuggled in to gaza via its border with egypt and, you know, these sort of Pie In The Sky ideas about how this might be effective in eradicating the Terrorist Threats posed by hamas, you know this area well. Is that going to be effective in achieving the outcome of bringing these hostages home . I mean, its been months now. Yes, it has. Thank you for having us on. Youre right, ive lived on the border with gaza my entire adult life. I cannot, i cannot say for sure whether this act or that act is going to move things forward or not. I think we have to accept certain facts. Fact number one is that friends can disagree, and in this case there seems to be a disagreement around how, how to go into rafah between the Biden Administration and israel. That being said and im a u. S. Citizen and have been really in steady contact with the Biden Administration and with congress, the what President Biden says is true. The administrations support for israel, to its own political detriment, has been ironclad. 9 and the Biden Administration has been clear wees israel for weeks if not months that full scale inevasion into rafah can invasion into rafah full of civilians is unacceptable. When our own government, israel, wants to listen to that is another question. As far as the hostages are concerned, i think any levelheaded person understands as well as military people, i was in the army most of my life
