00:00to recognize for one minute. Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my outrage
00:07on the eve of Prime Minister Netanyahu's joint address. His address is a slap in the face
00:14to the thousands and thousands of Americans who have been demanding a ceasefire. The people
00:20of conscience opposed to U.S. supplied bombs killing women and children and the 12 U.S.
00:26government officials who have resigned protesting the national security and moral crisis our
00:31policies are creating. We cannot work towards peace while giving a war criminal the floor
00:38or exert more authority while supporting the killing of children and civilians nor defend
00:45national interests while eroding our relationships across the world. We must listen to the American
00:50people and our officials and our diplomats like Major Harrison Mann who will be standing with me
00:56tomorrow to demand the administration and our leadership change course. I hear them. What they
01:02say is not one more bomb, not one more dollar, not one more excuse for Netanyahu's atrocities.
01:09Mr. Speaker, I yield back.
