So let me. Well, first let me ask whether both of you agree with the premise that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Absolutely, yes. Thank you. And Would you agree that the rhetoric that equates Palestinian civilians or Palestinian Americans with Hamas is rhetoric that actually strengthens Hamas and undermines Israel's security by feeding into their propaganda that Hamas is a legitimate representative of the Palestinian people? We absolutely make a distinction. Hamas as a terrorist organization has perpetrated a brutal set of attacks. The Palestinian people don't deserve to be lumped in in such a way. (02:52–03:22)
