"I love Judaism and the Jewish people because I love people, and I want all people to be able to live long, healthy, productive lives. I believe all people deserve equal rights to peace, dignity and self-determination. That includes Jewish people, and that includes Palestinian people. Anyone who tells you otherwise is saying that some people's pain and some people's hopes and dreams are not worth the same as other people's, and I'm just not willing to do that." fv1QIxXMTMs DpnAKb0x42S 10KBSqjYAfI wBNX7RWVtMg Q7GixLm1Cuu VxeERxwyLNN
