THE LATEST CONFLICT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS ENTERS ITS 4TH DAY.

AT LEAST 1900 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED.

ISRAEL HAS STOPPED THE ENTRY OF FOOD, FUEL AND MEDICINES TO PEOPLE IN GAZA IN RESPONSE TO ATTACKS BY HAMAS.

LAST NIGHT WE HEARD FROM COHEN, ISRAELI CONSUL GENERAL TO THE MIDWEST.

AND JOINING US TONIGHT WITH ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE IS HAD SOME OF DAY, NATIONAL CHAIR OF THE U.S. PALESTINIAN COMMUNITY NETWORK, WHICH HAS A CHAPTER IN CHICAGO HAS.

AND WELCOME BACK.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US SO SO YOU KNOW, OF FOLKS IN GAZA, YOU HAVE FAMILY IN THE WEST BANK.

HOW'S EVERYONE DOING?

EVERYONE IS VERY ANXIOUS.

I'M CONCERNED.

>> IN THE WEST BANK, THERE HAS BEEN AN ESCALATION.

100 PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED THERE ALREADY.

MY DAUGHTER HERSELF YESTERDAY, 18 YEAR-OLD JUST STARTED UNIVERSITY.

LOLA IS ASKING ME IF THIS IS GOING TO EXPAND INTO HER HOME VILLAGE.

MY HOME VILLAGE L G B IN A IN THE WEST BANK.

AND I TOLD HER I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT IT'S CLEARLY HAS EXPANDED TO THE WEST BANK AND ISRAELIS CLEARLY ARE PERPETRATING THEIR CRIMES ACROSS PALESTINE.

A 900 KILLED IN GAZA.

4500 INJURED 123,000 WHO ARE DISPLACED.

AND AS YOU SAID, CUTTING OFF FOOD, ELECTRICITY, WATER IN A PLACE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN UNDER SIEGE FOR 17 YEARS.

IT IS A WAR.

CRIME IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

AND NOT ONLY IS ISRAEL RESPONSIBLE, BUT THE U.S. IS RESPONSIBLE AS WELL FOR 4 TO 5 BILLION DOLLARS OF MILITARY AID THAT GOES TO ISRAEL EVERY ON THAT NOTE OF THE PRESIDENT CONDEMNED TO MA SAYS ATTACKS EARLIER TODAY SAYING, QUOTE, THIS IS SOME HAVE CALLED THE TAKING OF CIVILIANS.

>> TO BE A WAR CRIME AS DO YOU AGREE?

WHAT DO YOU WHAT HE OF COURSE.

CONDEMNED THE PALESTINIANS, WHAT HE SHOULD DO IS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT THE U.S.

EMPIRE HAS BEEN DOING OVER DECADES IN PALESTINE.

IF IT WERE NOT FOR U.S. SUPPORT, UNEQUIVOCAL DIPLOMATIC, MILITARY AND POLITICAL SUPPORT OF ISRAEL, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PERPETRATOR CRIMES AGAINST THE POLICIES.

THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THERE.

ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF PALESTINIAN LANDS.

UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS NOT A SURPRISE TO US.

THE FACT THAT THE PALESTINIAN UNIFIED RESISTANCE, NOT JUST ONE ORGANIZATION, NOT JUST ONE POLITICAL FORCE, BUT ALL THE POLITICAL FORCES IN PALESTINIAN SOCIETY UNITED IN A RESPONSE OF SELF-DEFENSE.

THEY HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW AND GENEVA CONVENTIONS AND UNDER TO SPECIFIC UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS TO FIGHT BACK AS AN OCCUPIED PEOPLE UNDER ILLEGAL MILITARY OCCUPATION.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.

AND YOU SAY IT WAS NOT SURPRISED THE PALESTINIAN IT SEEMED TO BE A SURPRISE TO ISRAEL.

>> MANY AS WE MENTIONED, INCLUDING THE CONSUL GENERAL OF ISRAEL TO THE MIDWEST WHO JOINED US LAST HAVE SUGGESTED A QUESTION MOSS HAD SUPPORT FROM OTHER INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AROUND IN PARTICULAR, GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER MADE THE SAME SUGGESTION THIS MORNING.

WHAT DO YOU SAY IS IT POSSIBLE THAT DID HAMAS HAVE SUPPORT FROM WHAT I SAY IS I LIKE TO ASK.

>> PRITZKER AND AND BIDEN AND THE ISRAELI CONSUL GENERAL, IF THEY HAD, IF ISRAEL HAS HAD SUPPORT FOR DECADES FROM THE UNITED STATES, FOR ITS CRIMES, AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.

WE KNOW THAT'S ABSOLUTELY THE TRUTH AND UNDERSTAND, TOO.

THE UNITED RESISTANCE WARNED ISRAEL WARNED THE UNITED STATES WARNED THE EUROPEANS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE FOR 100 YEARS HAVE BEEN WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH SETTLER COLONIALISM FOR 56 YEARS AND ILLEGAL MILITARY OCCUPATION.

AND FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS, MAYBE LONGER.

I'M A REALLY RAMPAGING WHITE SUPREMACIST RACES.

SETTLERS WHO ATTACK PALESTINIANS IN THEIR HOMES BURNED HOMES, BURNED CARS, KILL PALESTINIANS IN THE STREETS.

AND NOBODY IS DEFENDING US.

SO THE PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE SAID YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR THIS BECAUSE WE NEED TO DEFEND OURSELVES.

IF THERE'S NOBODY IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND IF THE MOST POWERFUL FORCES IN THE WORLD ARE SUPPORTING ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION AND CRIMES AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, WHO IS TO DEFEND THE PALESTINIANS EXCEPT FOR OUR OWN RESISTANCE.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SUPPORTED.

SO UNEQUIVOCALLY IN THE PALESTINIAN AND ARAB COUNTRIES AND SOCIETIES.

SO AS WE MENTION, OF COURSE, THE CONSUL GENERAL ON THE SHOW LAST NIGHT.

HERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT HE SAID.

SPEAKING THAT SOME OF THE HUMANITARIAN CONFLICT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

>> PLANNING TO CONTROL THE LIFE OF 2 MILLION PALESTINIANS THAT LEAVING THE GAZA STRIP.

AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH ISRAELI AND PALESTINIANS ENJOY THE MOST BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS.

AND THAT IS THE RIGHT FOR LIFE.

>> THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE IS THE FORWARD.

HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO GO ON?

WHAT I SEE IS A FORWARD IS TO CONTINUE TO FOR US TO MAKE OUR DEMANDS.

>> OF NOT ONLY THAT, ISRAEL STOP AND ITS OCCUPATION WITH THAT THE UNITED STATES STOP SUPPORTING ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.

TO MARK A PAST FORWARD FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERATION AND DIGNITY FOR THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.

THE ONLY WAYS IF YOU THE OCCUPATION, THE ONLY WAYS IF YOU STILL IF YOU STOP ALLOWING ISRAEL TO KILL WITH IMPUNITY, TO OCCUPY WITH IMPUNITY TO EXILE PALESTINIANS KICK THEM OUT OF THEIR HOMES WITH IMPUNITY TO PUT POLITICAL PRISONERS IN DETENTION WITH IMPUNITY.

THAT IS THE REASON ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING.

WE PROTESTED WITH 2000 PEOPLE ON SUNDAY AND FROM THE ISRAELI CONSULATE TOMORROW, 4.30, AT B WELLS AND MICHIGAN AVENUE WILL HAVE ANOTHER PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF THE PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE AND IN SUPPORT OF A CALLING FOR SHOKALSKIY AND DURBAN AND FOR TALKING US AND
