Ben Shapiro confronted in Congress for 'genocide... carried out on' Palestinians

11 Jul 2024 12:37 Host: Al Mayadeen English

A pro-Palestine activist ambushed American lawyer Ben Shapiro in Congress, cornering him and asking, "How does it feel to be the poison [of] the American public, and what you've been perpetuating hate, racism, white supremacy, and the genocide that [is] being carried out on the Palestinian people?" She also accused him of "poisoning the American public for them to also be complicit in what is going on in Palestine." However, missing the bigger picture, Shapiro pointed fingers at the Palestinian Resistance, stating that they "should not have started a war;" to which the pro-Palestine activist replied, "The people of Palestine have been occupied for 75 years, and the blood is on the hands of every person in this Congress."
