“The idea that Israel is starving Palestinians is despicable,” Prager said of the allegations against Israel. “This is the same left-wing atrocity on language that Israel is committing genocide.

Muslim and young voters are threatening to withhold support from Mr. Biden’s re-election campaign because of his support for Israel, which is accused of carrying out genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The extremist terrorist organization Hamas carried out deadly terrorist attacks in multiple locations in southern Israel on October 7, killing more than 1,200 people and taking more than 200 hostages.
“All the evil has been taken out of its context,” Prager said. “Israel is not interested. There are five times as many Palestinians as there were in 1950. This is the worst and most ineffective genocide in the history of genocide. It is a vile slander.”
When Prager called for the United States to leave the United Nations, the Uyghurs fired back at him.
“What do you say when someone criticizes Israel?” asked the Uighur. “Anti-Semitism. Have you ever raped that word?
“That’s not true, that’s a lie,” Mr. Prager interjected. “We say it not about criticizing Israel, but about those who seek to destroy Israel.”
At least a dozen staff members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) were suspected of involvement in the October 7 attack, leading several countries, including the United States and Britain, to cut funding to the agency.
