"One of the things that I think hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves that I want to highlight is Israel’s refusal to release Marwan Barghouti, the most famous Palestinian prisoner. And the reason I think it’s so significant is that I think it exposes the lie that Israel’s fundamental problem is with Hamas, that Israel’s fundamental goal is to destroy Hamas."
